In this heartfelt episode of #WithChude, 23-year-old creator Tobe Szn reveals a depth of wisdom far beyond his years. Known to many for his humour and fashion content, Tobe shares the private struggles that shaped him, from growing up as the boy who once thought himself too ugly to be seen in photos, to becoming one of the most loved creators of his generation. With striking honesty, he speaks about grace, forgiveness, sadness, and what joy truly means, reminding us that social media can often rob us of our truest identities.
Tobe reflects on his journey with tenderness and nuance, opening up about his desire to simply be himself, his fear of “being too much,” and the unshakeable love he holds for his parents—especially the encouragement he receives daily from his father. He also talks about friendship, sharing how his bond with Enioluwa is built on shared laughter and love, and how “The Geng” gave him experiences he will never regret. “You must love yourself but you must also love your friends,” he says, capturing the essence of connection and community.
This conversation goes beyond the surface to reveal a layered, deeply thoughtful young man navigating life with light and warmth. Tobe reminds us that beyond the glamour of content creation lies a simple, profound truth: the courage to be human.
