91. 91. Ep.49 Disrupting the Status Quo of the Wounded Patriarchy with Sara Yagoub

    Our guest Sara believes that we are living in the consequences of a wounded patriarchy. Women are socialised to believe they are lesser than. That they cannot trust themselves or their own intuition but should rely completely on external sources; be it media, search engines, experts, elders etc. Rarely do we consult our SELF. We have forgotten that our divine connection to God grants us an innate wisdom to know what is right for us as an individual being. Sara explains some steps you can take to

93. 93. Ep.47 Healing Your Relationship with Your Body with Evelyn LeVasseur

    Every woman needs to do a self audit on how she feels about her body. Then take it a step further and find out why you think about your body that way. What happened in the past? What was said about your body? What cemented your beliefs about your body? If any of the answers to these were negative, you have to let that go. If you don't know where to start from, Evelyn is here to help.Evelyn is the owner of Evelyn LeVasseur Fitness, a company that focuses on helping busy, overwhelmed moms reach th

94. 94. Ep. 46 I Thought I Had My Whole Life Planned Out with Mapalo Mulenga

    Make goals. Create vision boards, they say. Many of us do this whilst getting fixated on the dream. However, many times are plans are derailed and what we thought would be just does not come to pass. Yet we do not talk about this. How do you handle the disappointment of not getting the thing you worked so hard for, for a very long time? This is a reality we all face.

    Tumelo Moreri believes that if women were sexually liberated our society would flourish. We cannot have a conversation around Feminism and Emancipation of women without discussing sex, sexuality and pleasure. African women suppress their sexual desires because they have been socialised to associate sex with negativity. In addition, sexual education in African cultures focuses on pleasuring the men and women who may not even think they deserve to also enjoy the sexual encounter. This conversation

    The biggest hurdle that we must overcome as women is acknowledging that we are all that our human rights can be infringed upon no matter your status. Whether rich or poor, whether educated or not, we live in a world that works against us and has been designed for men. Zanelle and I discuss where our rights as women are infringed, how to become aware when your rights are being and ultimately what to do when you find there has been an injustice against you.Zanelle Felicia Nokhuthula Thabede-Vilaka

101. 101. Ep.40 The Routes of Tribalism in Zambia with Moono Chungu

     Zambia is known for her friendly and hospitable people. Which is ironic because as much as we are welcoming of foreigners we are not always as nice to each other. Over the last few years tribalism has reared its sinister head up more prominently within the country. This has resulted in violent altercations and unnecessary loss of life. Even in the day to day lives there are people who do not have the same access to resources, jobs and opportunities all because of the tribe they are part of. With

     This conversation is long overdue. Where is the support for women’s rights when we need it. There are too few people that are willing to make known their opinion in the public forum. Nokwanda Dlamini, helps us dissect why some people are more willing to fight for what they believe than others. She offers practical ways that one can be an activist especially if you are not willing to go out on the streets. We also discuss why it is problematic when the majority are passive onlookers on important

How she survived Gender Based Violence. As a highly educated woman from a very stable and loving home, she did not seem like the stereotype for women who find themselves in abusive relationships.

At this point the family had walked for two years to safety when the war initially began. Her mother was raising 6 children and then adopted 3 more children. Over the years they had lost track of Mehntay's father. The story is a story of war, displacement, life as a refugee and immigration to a new country. It is a powerful story, which is told in two parts. Mehntay Ngwayah is orig

     There are Defining Moments in our lives that set the trajectory for living out our purpose. For the next few weeks we will listen to such moments. For some, Purpose seems to be this mysterious undefined thing. However, what you will come to learn is that your purpose is unique to you because of your unique experiences. When you look back at your life you will understand that purpose is not something that is external. It is within you.The story you will listen to today is a story of war, displace

     As we wrap up this series on Bad Ass Business Women I encourage you to ask yourself: Am I choosing job security over freedom and fulfilment. Karette would tell you that the security you are holding onto so tightly is only perceived. When the job you have is actually contributing to the deterioration of your mental, emotional and physical health you might want to revisit why you are still there.Another little note is we need to break down the hierarchy of professions.

This conversation has an interesting segment about the gap in the social education of young men. As women we tend to want to save the world, but we do it for free and sometimes to our own peril. However, have you ever considered that you can solve social problems and make money at the same time. That is the definition of Social Entrepreneurship. Our colonisers gave us the non-governmental organisation model and created a dependency on charity. We actu

But how about this, MEN stop with the jumping from women to women. Gosh it is tiring, do you know that? Just think about the future. Think about your children’s wedding.

     Matrescence describe the physical, psychological, and emotional changes people go through during the monumental transformation that is motherhood. When a child is about to be brought forth into the world we tend to focus so much on the baby and Mum is an after thought if it all. Today we listen to a journey that is shrouded in shame, depression, body shaming ... Yes our mothers/aunties/sisters come to help in the first three months. However, is that enough?

She is also a mother to the young women she meets in her work space and community. Her children are adults and yet she never stops being a mother. Listen to Kako’s story about how she evolved in this role, what her children taught her and how she parents her adult children. It is very clear that no two children are the same.

We label them. We ostracise them. We judge these women. My guest today, was so brave and gracious to share her own personal journey with infertility. We had such a rich conversation that I

Have we taken everything into consideration from the impact that the social setting can have on your child? Your child may spend only 4 years in another country but the social effects can impact them for life. Have you researched about what happens beyond the classroom? Have you made a plan of how to support your child?I speak to Wangu Mvula about her experiences having been educa

Our guest on the Africana Woman podcast is 21 year old Natasha Kananda, who shares her life story. How she was double orphaned at a very young age. Then what she did as her coping mechanisms.

My guest Lengwe Bobo takes us on a fascinating discussion about Rape Culture, Parenting Stylyes, Youth Exposure and her own personal experience with depression.

For whatever reason we tend to perpetuate the gap in the generation divide. But we need to start talking to each other. We need to listen and actually hear what the other says, we need to embrace each other. I have been fortunate enough to meet some phenomenal young women, who have reminded me not to make assumptions on outward appearances.

Basically when we have physical ailments we are treating the symptom and not the disease, the root cause. If you listen carefully there are a couple of moments that Carolyn did a cold read on issues I have. So this episode is a combination of physical and spiritual health. Carolyn Zimba was born in Zambia, and emigrated to England at the

     I am a big supporter of seeking professional help for your mental health. In many of our communities doing so could be frowned upon and seen as an act that can bring shame on your family. This means that we may know that we need to find help, yet we have no one to ask for guidance on how to go about finding a therapist, what to expect and how long to be in therapy. All those questions will be answered in this episode called Therapy to do or not to do with Yuna. Yuna is an integrative Counsellor/

Our last guest, Juliana Bitarabeho, so eloquently said that everything starts with health, no matter how much you are empowered, if you are not healthy you will not progress. Our guest today takes this statement even further by saying it all starts in the mind. This is a woman who was originally a fitness coach but the more she worked with people, she realised that once the root cause of

     So you made it to the top, you are sitting at the proverbial table. You are the leader you always dreamt you would be. Yet, the feeling of imposter syndrome sneaks in. Then doubt sets in, you begin to second guess your decisions, you start comparing yourself to other people. You fear the consequences of when you believe the people around you will discover you are really not qualified to be at that position. Sound familiar? Of course feelings are not fact. That is why it is so important for us to

     This interview is so rich in the breadth of the topics covered. We ALL have a story to tell. Often we take it for granted or make assumptions about people because of the mountain top they sit on. We forget that they were not placed there but undertook a journey. Talking to Liza (pronounces L-ee-za), made me realise that your life leaves breadcrumbs to your purpose.  First we talk about her family’s tumultuous displacement from their home country of Uganda during the reign of Idi Amin.

     We all know that in Africa we have been sold the dream that the grass is greener on the other side. But is it really? We often complain about the images portrayed about Africans on the global stage; from the emaciated baby with a distended stomach and fly on the mouth to streets lined with garbage. Sadly, this tiny percent of the African story has been magnified to the status of an absolute and only truth. Sandra and I discussed how important it is for Africans to tell our own stories and more t

What emotional and psychological abuse looks like? This is a powerful story about a woman who lost her life as she knew it in the blink of an eye. Being wrongfully institutionalised in a mental hospital in a plot to make her get lost in the system. We also learn how she overcame such a traumatic series of e

However, we cannot keep sticking our heads in sand and pretending that it does  not exist on the continent.My obvious choice of who to brave this topic with was Muma Sinkala and she did not disappoint. It was such a rich discussion. Albeit sometimes uncomfortable but that is okay. Our conversation covered colonialism, African dependency on the white saviours and Africans being the gatekeepers. “Racism is subtle in Africa”“African countries have syste
