  • Tabitha Oluoch: We have to stand up because no one is going to speak for us
    Apr 16 2026

    Episode 6 of Resist Persist and Reimagine is now live!

    How do we make politics make sense to everyone?

    In our newest episode, Tabitha Oluoch explains how she simplifies complex laws to reach young women. Instead of using confusing jargon, she breaks down the 2024 Finance Bill into its real impact on everyday items like bread and sanitary towels.

    She calls this the "broccoli effect", using digital platforms to make civic education easy and enjoyable to consume. By meeting people where they are (on TikTok, X, and Facebook), Tabitha is ensuring that young women aren't just voters, but active participants.

    "We have to stand up because no one is going to speak for us," she reminds us.
