how does a virus spread. why do we panic and when we'll all be. introduced through the topics covered and we couldn't read your part. if you would like any information on the crawler virus or any other science topic you should really check out our podcast you can get it wherever you go your pod cast you can also find us at. science. fairs and cities but especially during the pandemic it's become the city of loneliness luckily there are people like john and con talk they work for the initiatives. it's kiosks have taken on the wrong ones performed by close your house . but do not.

help those who are the most wrong. wolf would have come to realize that if it weren't for all those people not just with her away from the real god. god 2 was the was 6. 2 christian montana he lives in the heart of paris all on her. she's 90 but still going strong during lockdown the lives have been her anchor were 7. you know that the solitude is hard to take can many older people not isolated in time go out so of course they feel lonely. their own alarmingly cubist this is a sense of and that's also why it's so important to have young people in your life said that both all that well i really like having them around.

i always count on hello. yes i can hear you. come to regularly help her with their emails today he's brought handyman past shani along. follow your new door oh wonderful is it the same as before sid and then. yes it's the same one a way that suits me just fine most of. the men are here to change mischance shower door but there's a small problem pasch i doesn't have his drill with him. or the opposite of us of course was yes. i have to drill here time fix the new fright i can't touch the new door to the old one.

over a new political he'll find a solution he's not half bad. you can bring him a guy who you are like this i've never had a bad loser. what is contant to her i think of him my grandson was the 5th. of the preserving something which makes me happy to help people who got really need some go along with all its path it's like i got some some it's great. finally the doors in place. pascal in contrast i'm ready to leave but not before taking care of the nicest part of the job the chat with the client. but i did it was me that i wanted to among other things i used to be a banking consultant but i missed the personal relationships. that overlook the job

or too focused on selling work. so i did have a lot of it because the sky will come again next week to hang up a picture this time with his drill. i mean you lie i look forward to seeing you both again. if we want to see you next tuesday. oh oh oh. that's kind of come to a meet up with johnny found a another little at one of the company's kiosks there now 8 of them in paris. it's the perfect place to take a coffee break and get a few things of their chests. i never realized how isolated some clients are especially during lockdown but it really didn't didn't move. didn't you yes it's

a sad outcome to these of you and. i say it's quite appalling when your. locals directing choirs to the course yaz who runs the kiosk he or she then passes on the work to the self-employed blues. this man's internet isn't working anymore you need to have a new megan installed. lulu is like the concierge of all it was always there to help out the resident. they always had good advice and they knew the right person to go to when problems arose. today makes these important connections and the kiosks are a meeting place for people in the neighborhood. folks also come here just to talk. it brings back a bit of that aren't i am beyond i've lived in this quarter for 50 years and i

think it's restored some of the humanity. of if it's you call it johnny isn't surprised by comments like these is the train carpenter ranges continuing education for the initiatives 1100 year easily also helps decide who can join the team one criterion is especially important in that. blue attitude. it's about helping people not just about performing the task at hand . we want to give clients more than that the lulu attitude is like a ray of sunshine. and there's the african concept of. i am because we are and that's what lulu in us on that front we're losing because we're part of paris or the part of the population and we head to help. by paul is

a bit so it makes sense. pascal lives in a tiny apartment with just 1000 square meters of space he'd rather not show us so we only film one corner of the place over the years the 52 year old has done pretty much everything he's worked as a research a miner and a forklift operator but a few years ago he had to low point in his life. i work for 96 hours at a time and did that for almost 30 years nonstop with no if i cation with it but at some point i just cracked up quick and became depressed. when i heard about lulu very calm and that was a lifesaver i was back in business again they were 30. when the pandemic began a year ago pascal volunteered to help people who were at high risk for cave 19.

even though he feared contracting the virus himself. rivers mostly did but that was the turning the 1st lockdown i only went on foot. i didn't take public transport a toll. is reports and i wanted to keep the risk of infection to a minimum for myself and all of the people who delivered things like. that you are vulnerable people we visited. in the water. with. all of the sauna i was walking between 40 and 60 kilometers and i reported it depending on how many people i have to shop for. now pascal is on his way to do some work for not time goldenberg.

now tom has just returned to paris after several years in singapore. welcome very little mark i explained on the phone pascoe doesn't pictures need hanging up but. most of them are in the living room we've put them in the right spots. then these kitchen shelves need putting up one on top of the other board for. the 1st you have to affix the 2 rails on the sides. of the body. and then come the shelves to fit into the royals. and maybe they go in the other way round the business consultant lacks the time and skills to do the job himself with. lulu gives me access to professionals who are better handyman than all of a b. . they have the right tools and will do the job properly papabile lose the modern

equivalent to the neighbor who loaned you his drill and helps you put up the shelves. prescott loves this work though he earns just 30 year is an hour before taxes normally a tradesman would get an hourly wage of 100 years it is the height right feel for the time it's perfect. the next day cantars on his way to see another regular customer 74 year old anita i mean yes. you can't. how you walk with you she was like go listen and then go wash your hands. or to love it no not. cantars been helping anita with emails and correspondence with the authorities

since her husband died last year now it's about selling his car. oh and. i just got an email from audi. do a new report about the car about asian whose car has the man suddenly something or scream or were you. sure that this man only says they can just tell me i was a document. right it's just so you know what's up can turn was my savior and now he's a person who's become part of my life. back to the most. of his work on one because both ways i stop by regularly and i always look forward to it also to drinking tea together of we're talking about things other than

computers him until the 1st who could love him i think it's a ritual they wouldn't want to do with out here thanks anita. harlem and yes we're on some local no hostility bit then it'll be fine just who is helping who here. we lose might rescue people in certain situations but without knowing it they actually give us more than we give them. i'd forgotten there was this human aspect to life. but it's not just about money. most of all it's about what you can give to others that makes you feel good. and make sure you realize you're not alone but.

you can buy fashion but not stop. we're taking you on a fashion to look around the continent. meet the people who. are. seeing the traditional patterns i'm still a cool mug and find out about a beauty pageant with a twist 77 percent. next. it's . true. one giant leap for the next 40 taishan of the universe. destroyed mining is no longer the stuff of science fiction. limited resources and i'm driving the race

from asteroids to eldorado in space. they want to know what makes the devil. join the love unbending going away from. i love the outdoors my own daughter and everyone with little holes in every step getting are you ready to make a difference then join me right just do it on day w. . hello and welcome to the. 77 percent of the show for africa's you with my name is evoking money and this week we're bringing you the show from my hometown this will be yours a full green city in the sun i'm talking about the capital of kenya nairobi. well a very special show for you today so stick around as we take you on a fashion to around the continent yes i said fashion today we'll look at what we're

saying about ourselves with the clothes which is to wear. to the fashionistas of the continent the. from a creative entrepreneur on how traditional patterns and techniques are influencing design and we'll find out how a beauty pageant is being used to fight stigma but 1st you probably heard of the expression you can buy fashion but not style so well to hit the streets to find out what style really means to you so let's go. about what you make for me. myself because i have to watch for myself.

it's something to express. and with people. because if you for. money you know. now i'm. too bad i want to lose people who could be in tracksuits all day but for most people i mean normal people basically some thought that goes into what they wear every day then there's a 3rd category those who dress as an art form and if you've ever come across the suppose of the democratic republic of congo you probably know what i mean these men and women live for their extravagant style their performance and really africa's

most elegant so let's just go straight to kinshasa and check them out. i call myself. and i'm a sub. is my style. i'm a designer. which means smartly dressed i train young people to become great designers around the world and i also teach them how to be calm. is a word in my mother tongue it means scarification of the chocolate people. usually when i was 13 years old i notice the older guys in the neighborhood like where we're in fancy clothes they were always talking about big brands from the west. and

something struck me which i can't explain i have laughed clued since i was a kid so in the ninety's i joined the self-help movement. while i was an apprentice . we had a competition doing a cultural day. and i was a guest i was awarded 1st prize. after this i threw myself into studying design. in the ninety's i spent 3 years in brazzaville before returning home as a designer. about. other designers where i can create the styles indoors where it is common air condition and my work outside in a market. in the midst of all the noise i pride myself in creating fashion that

doesn't exist in the world. i draw my inspiration from animals and nature. of what a. sap stands for the society of entertainers for elegant people this is the old definition my opinion it should be the society of artist and elegant. he is a fashion curator and also a creative director across the continent of africa how do you describe fashion and style as a continent right now what does it say about us as a people i think trying to define or even kind of like capture. the kind of like style of the entire continent is ambitious because it's it's

a massive continent with such a diverse group of people i think that it's possible to see trends across the continent. but every kind of like different area every different country has its own kind of like nuances. i think one of the most interesting things to see has been this kind of reconnection with heritage and heritage textiles so i've been seeing the works of a lot of designers of kind of like going back to this kind of like old. like traditional. you know this idea that fashion can take us back in time is using to distill fabrics traditional prints can also take us into the future can we imagine a future through fashion absolutely and one of. a great example would be a contender than a cartoon and i think that includes work is so interesting because cotton glue really projects into the future both in terms of material and in terms of silhouettes i'm actually wearing a pair of pants from my collection from about 5 years ago and around that time. was

trying to imagine a sort of like past apocalyptic tribe which is so interesting because you take one tribe and you like project them like 100 years into the future and really trying to imagine what life would be like for them would they still be doing the kind of extreme practices that they have been doing for for years and years and i think that there's many many designers whose work. allowing us to imagine a kind of like different existence an evolved culture an evolved sense of african which is interesting to think about yeah that's really interesting but are we buying into it as consumers understanding of course a production can be very expensive on this continent. i mean i think so i think i think there's a new awareness there's a growing a steamer on the. african and with that. there's also a very deliberate consumption and support of black owned businesses of african

businesses ok that's really really cool and i'm really happy that you read you brought up african fabrics because of course i think it's impossible to talk about african fashion without talking about the fabrics from their dynamic preens to the color i mean there recognisable all across the continent and all correspondence my colleagues and i decided to look at some of them and this is what we came up with. and. even political. printed on the. internet and yes. young people on a really interesting. race.

on average. 100 and. every single year that is enough to go around 3 times. to. come across. very different only medium. the rest. she. emperor of all fabrics. these used to be worn by royalty. for them to wear that. same twice. as a story for. the congo is one of africa's traditional factories it's believed that the white cotton was originally imported

from america and it's actually slaves we used to wear it but to this day remains very popular among the staff because because it's very beautiful and lives but today the congo has become an iconic parts of culture it's impossible to do anything really in this society without it some people use it in the kitchen some people use it to their babies it's used as a headdress picnic mat. and even given as a gift at weddings and funerals. though if somebody gives you a can go you want to see what they're really trying to say to you because each one of them comes with a message right on the edge and some of them can be quite nasty not this one though it says empowering women through information i like that. to resample wait isn't the country no i mean this fabric

it is also known is she trying to conquer or uncaring other african countries it is commonly used as an airport by women in zimbabwe it is considered dignified to wear the zambia it funerals family gatherings in traditional ceremonies the fabric is often decorated with a huge variety of colors and patterns these days even political messages and religious messages are also printed on the front. now this is a popular trend where young people like zimbabwean design a fairly nanny are coming up with stylish designs best on the african printed fabric these are worn during marriage ceremonies or simply is a fashion sting most of the fabrics that you find in the country are imported from tanzania zambia and to a lesser extent china. ok so we've just heard from our correspondents and sunny i'm

sure you recognize some of those fabrics that you could. shoot because so now into these fabrics that you are talking about about the past what are you wearing 1st of all so wearing a shirt by orange culture and this is actually a direct which is one of nigerian textiles so there's a which there's a degree of a shock here is a quarter. of a couple of more than probably forgetting but what's really cool about a deer is that it's dive using indigo which is a natural dye. so i'm wearing orange culture yet and i'm also very curious about the the designs that are on the it looks like old african symbols right here so. orange culture we did a whole kind of a collection exploring a dearie and what's really incredible about a directory many of the textiles is that textiles have also served in a. as historical documents so you find a lot of the symbols that you find on on african textiles have meaning whether it's a story where it's a message whether it's like. a tax other was supposed to be used in ritual on never

forget there's a time i was in accra and i went to see like from 10 to dealers and i came across again to dealers it sounds. underground. and i came across a kind of i think recalled it an airway and where cantor used for for food ritual and the symbols were like a symbol that makes sense and that represent things in food. and so that was really interesting a lot of meaning not just in the fabrics that are being used but also the this stories that are being written as you say and finally you're part of many i would say fashion movements of collectives across the continent what does that i mean what are you projecting as the future of fashion in africa what are you discussing in your various hubs when you come together. for much. but i think

again for for for for the longest time. africa african fashion african aesthetics have always been looked at as inspiration so you get the global north and the designers from the global north who reference africa as inspiration and produce but we've we've not really seen the designers from this region. be given the platform to showcase their work. and that even in the time that we have there's been this kind of like the narrative around it is very odd but i think over the past like 5 years we've seen a massive shift so for instance if you look at. a major award last year there was an incredible achievement again someone like you say who is designing a line for. a huge achievement has been very encouraging to start to see designers from the continent to really rise and hold position in this incredible place so that we never really had access to before because it means that our stories our voices our narrative start to enter mainstream and africa isn't necessarily seen

only as a place for inspiration but also a place of incredible talent i love that and i can't think of a better place to end this interview sonny dollar thank you so much for making time to be with us you're listening to 7 percent now fashion is of course very much about the out periods and as we've heard from sunny it can be very impactful but so of beauty pageants but for the past few years uganda has been running a beauty pageant with a twist the men and women taking part in it all hiv positive and they're using the pageant to raise awareness and fight the stigma that comes with being a hiv positive. this is the big finale over 40 contestants are vying for the crown this is why plus the pageant organized by the ugandan network of young people living with hiv every year young person a scranton. this is a 22 year old. taking the crown is not the end of everything it is.

they start to my journey to hope to see young people overcome the stigma the poor the ariens and the loss from care. 1.5000000 ugandans currently still live with hiv and this is especially prevalent amongst the youth. gladys was born with hiv and she understands why many of her peers are scared of disclosing their status. we as young people even we experience a lot of things but them there this ones who can't come to this challenge is that they're really because they feel like maybe they're the minority they really can't come out when they are on. their level of being assertive with. someone who is like they really can't make it to the end where they're supposed to be. in the northern uganda hometown of going to public disclosure of the status has

involved other young people to be more open some of them. you know meeting someone who. are you in t.v. like this from nowhere someone begins to really open up. in her role as miss rachel the positive does work involves regular meetings with young people to her it's important that her peers understand that wall and infection is irreversible. both treatable and manageable as long as you stick to your medication and take care of yourself. when you get unity is basically. hoping disclosure i'm trying to fall really irritating them living. at 22 already somebody that her peers look up to. inspire me in

a lot of ways. schools. to really give. that one. go ahead like. a lot of times to reach as many young people as possible and she hopes that accused people of. even with all this talk about fashion i thing. we can all agree that it's our in our values that we really want to be judged for and fortunately we don't always feel comfortable in our skin and that's a concern of you also wrote sex and relationship experts cares it's about to get intense. hello there and welcome to the spread a safe space where we get to discuss everything sex and relationships today we have a new mother from zimbabwe who wrote in to ask simply after gaining some baby weight how do i make myself feel more confident and desirable when i can't even

stand looking at myself in the mirror 1st of all you are beautiful and you are strong and you just birth a little human being so congratulations being a new mom is a wonderful experience but it does come with a lot of stress unfortunately you may also get a few unsolicited comments from narrow minded people and i'm so sorry if you've experienced this but positive self talk may help in countering this simply saying to yourself i am the you to for valid i brought a child into this world can help replace negative thoughts and feelings with positive ones you could even start leaving positive notes on your mirror society's beauty standards so unrealistic when you're bombarded by images of the so-called deal beauty every day it seems easy to feel like you'll never be tall enough or skinny enough or whatever the truth is we live in a world full of people that are different shapes different sizes colors and so on so for starters and follow every social media account that makes you feel bad about

yourself or makes you feel that you must compare yourself to them even family and friends but social media isn't all bad you could also check out some of the growing number of body positive ok and let's discuss paying tax while we're here who benefits the most from you talking down on yourself capitalism every time you look at yourself in the mirror and think i'm ugly you might be tempted to go out and buy . that new wonder must scar or miracle shapewear this only it's the fi call don't buy into it dedicate this time to you and your child and take things at your pace we grow we change. it's life but women are also fighting a system of ideals that were built on the backbone of massaging me all bodies are good bodies you deserve to feel confident and desirable no matter what the media or anyone else tells you and if you're struggling with any other postpartum mental health issues please seek the advice of a trained medical practitioner i really hope this has been helpful to you until
