Show notes

This is such an exciting episode! It captures my pre-show anxiety about the International Women’s Day talk my best friend Val and I were hosting and at the end you hear exactly how the talk turned out. Let’s just say I’m super proud of us and you should listen to the very end of this episode. In this episode I talk about being bullied extensively because of my teeth not when I was in primary or high school but only when I joined radio – strange right? On #100AfricanStories Sinitta from Uganda shares a very powerful series of situations she has experienced that were drenched in colorism. She challenges you & I as Africans to really unpack our self-worth and examine why we feel inferior and why we turn against each other. She also talks about how important empathy & forgiveness are! As promised here’s a link to her store that only stocks African products: https://www.instagram.com/nebyabeauty I’m still counting down to March 18th when #LegallyClueless turns ONE YEAR OLD! I can’t believe this podcast has grown this far! So to celebrate I’m throwing a storytelling party at Lava Latte on the 18th of March, 7pm, entry is free! Some of your favourite stories, heard on #LegallyClueless will be shared LIVE! Also, YOU get a chance to share YOUR story too! I genuinely hope you can make it!
