Wendy Osefo … excuse me, Dr. Wendy Osefo, Ph.D. … is smart. Not just because of her famed four degrees. Or because of her careers in political punditry, academia and now hosting with her new YouTube show. But because she’s done the work. She’s a dutiful daughter of Nigerian heritage, and literally wrote the book on it.
