Happy Lesbian Visibility Weekend! If you catch a moan or grunt or two... that's my gift to the lesbians (｡･･｡)

I swear I'm not farting, I have a new setup... ignore my chair, she's gassy

I don't think I'll be able to watch spider-man across the spider-verse for a while...

especially the part where Mona Lisa by Dominic Fike comes on

*proceeds to say "god help me" and listen to the song five more times than necessary*

I hope this goofball never finds my podcast... I'd be mortified

some people should remain memories of the creativity journey after all

the million-dollar question this episode poses is... IS IT BECAUSE I'M AFAB OR IS IT BECAUSE I'M BLACK?!

lemme clarify that the weather changes were extreme in every way

too cold when it's cold = I usually run cold so PAIN so much PAIN (muscle aches)...

too hot when it's hot = eczema flare-ups

my body hated it there, I had to leave

uni was a pro tho, no harassing lecturers but smelly STEM guys are EVERYWHERE

I have found no escape yet

Disclaimer: I am not of the opinion that anyone shouldn't make the move abroad. This is my experience & my journey to authenticity involves honouring my truth. I just want to see my country & the rest of Africa unshackled from neocolonialism and the slavery of the colonial mindset. We are rich, always have been, we just have a bunch of leeches sucking us to the bone.

I only stayed as long as I did cause of those scrumptious hugs...

oh and not being sexualised or objectified lol

that was lovely.

this women's history month, we are reminded of the might of the matriarchy...

& the truth of Africa's history.

Check out the Limited Series "African Queens: Njinga" on Netflix

DELULU LANEEE... I'M BACK BABY!

with an extra sprinkle of cringe for all my lovely listeners ;)

thank you so much for lending me your ears!

you can have them back in a few minutes ;* (after you watch the music video {trust meee})

when you want what you've never had, in the end, it's never really clear whether you're just running away from what you know or you actually know what you want!

it’s a messy beautiful life!

this queer history month, we sit with the fierce & quietly radical life of Bessie Head

a woman shaped by exile... a mother navigating survival... a writer who carved entire interior worlds out of displacement & doubt

through her novels & short stories, Bessie examined power, belonging, race, desire & the fragile architecture of identity

her work remains sharp, intimate & unsettling in the best way

this episode honours her voice, her contradictions & the legacy she left stitched across African literature
