Dear friends,

We know that it has been over a year since our last post, and you have every right to be frustrated, angry even with the lack of communication from us. We make no excuse but seek your understanding as we offer you an explanation.

Both the founders of You and I Today have had to endure rough patches over the past year, and compounded by the effects of the pandemic, have made it extremely challenging to host and maintain the operations of the show. Fortunately, we are now slowly getting back on our feet, and while we’re still not quite ready for interviews yet, we thought we offer something else in the interim.

To that end, we’ve been penning our thoughts onto a new section on our website called Reflect ( https://www.youandi.today/reflect ) with the same objective of affecting positive effect and change through engaging topics of conversation.

We implore you to bear with us as we update the contents on our website, but the good news is that our social media platforms remain open. So please, feel free to reach out to us via FB (), Instagram () and TikTok (), even if its just to say hi.

Thank you again for your patience and understanding. Have a blessed weekend ahead.
