Description

Have you heard of 'solo-maxxing’ or 'by yourself maxxing’? It’s a trend where young people are opting out of dating and embracing the single life. Instead, they’re prioritising career growth, independence, and personal wealth. So is this trend a new kind of freedom or are people giving up on dating altogether? Focus on Africa host Nkechi Ogbonna spoke to Kenyan content creator Chantelle Petit and British Somali podcast Ahmendur Hirad about the pros and cons of solo-maxxing.
