About this listen

 Welcome to a podcast unlike any other, in which I bring my unique intersectional identity as a gay Igbo man from Nigeria to the forefront. This is a space where personal stories meet cultural insights, and where meaningful discussions about LGBTQIA+ issues, representation, and empowerment take centre stage. Each episode is a journey into the intricacies of being queer and African, examining themes of identity, perseverance, and visibility. As I amplify queer voices, spill some palm wine, slay stereotypes, and redefine what it means to be seen and celebrated, you can expect a blend of heartfelt storytelling, insightful discussions, and a generous dose of humour. Join me as we navigate the intersections of culture, sexuality, and community, one candid conversation at a time. This is not just a podcast, it is a celebration of diversity, a call for inclusion, and a reminder that every voice matters.Copyright 2026 Charles Okeke Art Social Sciences

  • What Therapy Can Do For African LGBTQIA+ Individuals

    What Therapy Can Do For African LGBTQIA+ Individuals
    Feb 17 2026

    In this episode, I speak directly to queer Africans who were brought up to pray through suffering, fast through trauma, and survive on their own. We explore the true nature of therapy, why it is stigmatized in many African homes. Asking for help is not a sign of rebellion but rather a duty to heal from the harm that homophobia, religion, familial pressure, and silence have caused us.

  • Homophobia Is Common In Our Homes

    Homophobia Is Common In Our Homes
    Feb 10 2026

    Home is where homophobia starts. It's not a coincidence that there is a lot of homophobia in African homes. It is taught, enforced, and protected by systems that are based on fear, control, religion, and silence.

    There Is Nothing Worse Than Being Gay In An African Home
    Feb 3 2026

    Being gay is viewed as an inexcusable sin in many African households, regardless of your financial difficulties, public failures, or disappointments.
