Written By Jasmine Omorogbe

Remember the days when all it took was a chance encounter at the school’s playground and a “Hello“ to make a friend? As we get older, making friends can seem so much more difficult than it used to be. There are so many factors to consider.

See how her co-hosts Toya and Sharon, with the help of special guest Jasmine, explore and expand on making friends as an adult and letting go of the past.
