bit. in uganda, we meet the fast russell, one of the country. and in somali land, an all female basketball team had one of the boundaries of a male dominated. our guest for thee is not only a great musician been by his motto, is in bogan singer, actress and dance choreographer best in the netherlands in 2018. she caused us to our with her music video. her plan are called linda and i. she shows herself almost naked in put in 19 been by posted features of our self in the nude on instagram and criticism as well as praise for breaking one of the biggest taboos since colonial times. unity take a look. lulu, i'm a lot of things. i am in by the mother and in by, in our just by assist me by cause in my

a lot of things. so yeah, i have a lot of different descriptions before i am event and i was asking, i knew oh. 7 music very, very important to me because one, it's easier for me to express why an express my feelings, the things that i'm thinking about my day to day life also music, heels into heels, me the singer. it also heels. people will listen to what i play and what i see the the i'm a diverse i do. so i can sing coral oberon from the traditional because of course i studied music is as

a subject. and i studied as long as ecology from africa and also from european side in because music is a universal language. i can explore and do more. so i don't limit myself. sometimes it's so important that you have to have your own self esteem challenged by youth. not by other people or somebody else coming to say a comment on all you look like that or you look like that. you have to, to, to have this self awareness of look and beautiful. just doesn't matter where the abs or not good point, barely whatever. the thing that counts how, how do i feel in my body? i. 6 i always believe that traditional instrument helped me to guide me from where i'm

coming from. i always believe when you know where you're from, your destination in your direction of where you're going makes it very easy to navigate. because i'll always have to relate from where i'm from and where i'm from and when people support you from when you're you're good to go. indeed and if the by the metal, welcome to the 77 percent. thank you. thank you for having me. i'm really excited to hear you so beautiful. thank you. i mean, you've done quite a lot. what could you highlight so far? i would say in korea, i think it's the creativity of the maintainance of my cultural beliefs and i think the music history, everything. so i'm really happy with everything that i've accomplished sofa also worked with the of cause, all of them to africa lead in that and say he must have had an influence on your

craft. yes. well, if i used to always say that you know of him by, there's always this moment where you are, you have to be in the crowd and then you go and you sit at the back and then you wait for people to come and take you from that back and put you in front. so i've always taken that as a thing. and today i feel like i feel really honored because i had somebody calling me for this interview and see please can you come through and i was like, oh my god, somebody sees the, the, the things that i do and they appreciate. so i'm really on it of course you've been nominated for civil awards with them. some of them. yes. as in bob were musical was, was nominated 2 years in a row. and also this dive in musical was then yeah, i think those 2 and also when now we wait for this year, bessie, in the us stop. but you know, you know, to new, to control the see. i mean,

when you look at your social media handles, for example, instagram picture view posting new, then this has really the minded, fun biz, especially bucking in his bub with well, for me. i feel like we have a tradition as africans. if you see most, in most africans, people sometimes in villages or still don't care about wearing any clothes. they were animal skin and the pride, the culture like that. for me, i feel like odd is supposed to speak in the, in certain ways that tells a story behind the story. when i look at some of the pictures i've posted, some of them they talk about. we have been displaced as people, as africans where we have everybody all over the world because of the hardships we go through from our b, from our big kids. so such stories, sometimes they have to be very provocative to be able to express that. so people can understand exactly how much depth there is in that story. so

i look at it from the history point of view from the cultural point of view and from the telling the story point of view. so there's a lot to do with it. well indeed, we asked 77 percent of what they think of showcasing their body on social media. and let's have a look at what they had to say. well, i think that nudity, in general, is not something that we should put onto social media because social media is abroad cause nowadays, and it's very important. remember that social media has a lot of audience. it's got a lot of research and especially when it comes to go children, we have 2 or just children in general. we have to be very careful as to the morals and the principles of passing on. at some point in life, i would want to be employed some yeah, maybe i'm going for interview to linda, my opportunities, you see. and at some point in the, in our lives life, we have family. what if our children see such pictures of our community is to be,

i think may be fun and creative like the whole process of taking, taking pictures of g d o is most of the so called know the i tend to see as so many different dev is use always looking at it instead of given the way by then days also know we can therefore so again, to go with that when somebody actually takes of the various employers that you're putting on, you know, the question is how is it in the printed? what's the messaging around it? and how is it you as a form to communicate what they've been by. you've seen the different reactions to this topic, which is a very sensitive and vertical, i mean, what? well, well, 1st of all, i like to say before the missionaries came to invade us, we didn't have worries about what we, where our mothers used to just walk around with everything showing and it was just

did nothing to do with sex or how a woman looks or the appeal or it was just a way of life. there was nothing to it. this is why i use it in my artistry sometimes. okay. and then there's a story about if you want to say and, and if you want to project a very provocative message, you have to literally say the weight is that's how naughty to comes out is like burying it all. you have to literally go there and buried all. that's how you say the story. yeah. but clearly many african societies are still critical about this is a 6 and the body. i mean, why do you think now it's right? time to speak about such things as feeling public. ok, so i feel like we have put sex. like it's very, very important. i know it's important in the aspect that we, we have children through 6. it's not as important. it is just

a part of what is supposed to happen in a relationship. it's not the most important thing. if you, you can have sex but not to have the rest of the things in the relationship. that's not the relationship. so i think we need to talk more about our positive energy, how we directing our stories to the right to the right topic without just saying ok, i've seen their skin so they must be immoral. i think that's the most the word people use the immoral part you're immoral because you have shown us the skin from here to there. but we also see immortality even with the people wearing suits and ties. and so i think we, we value too much sticks and, and we make it like it's something very, very, very, very important. but it's just one of the things where someone who is very famous of windows t. how do you handle such controversies that come your way?

normally i try to hear people out and then i tried to explain. if somebody asked me in a very nicely, then i'll explain what it actually means in some people actually say, oh, i didn't know that this is what you're talking about. now that i do, i appreciate it and then some people will just ignore it. so you can never make everybody happy. social media. everybody has their own opinion though. ok. i'm speaking of the booth cleopatra qu fast. 21 in uganda. many l g b to q i people live 6 people, void harassment from all those views and the public. she believes talking about pumps and gender identity as mid some people are more tolerant to what sexual minorities. what's her story? ah, she'll patrick come. google is no ordinary ugandan, identified as a boy at birth, campbell felt she was in the wrong body. fisher. they are treated in for as

a hate official woman, because i'm into maine. but in terms of gender, i do identify the transgender woman. apparently my hands on my board, the same like what was on my passport. can book with the 1st know and transgender ugandan to be issued a national id, registering her with a different gender than the one she was given at birth. she called it a big win mainly because uganda is widely said to be a homophobic society. for me, it's more main task. it's a huge more made it difficult. it feels like i'm done it. i've done it and i hope this to get something. yeah. you know that fact that as i turned into a woman and able to, i did that she'd steve that things it means no. and that things that it shouldn't have been that that, that i felt like, i feel like i'm wearing a kronos and uganda, many l g b t q i, people live secretly to avoid harassment from authorities and the public. but come,

pooh, is public about her status. she believes talking about her transgender identity has made some people more tolerant towards sexual minority. that's why i've been living . i'm transgender. i talk about these different secrets, if on my way it's in my, it's in my instagram, it's an all my social, i don't hide about about it and that's it. i try to leave open the program for them and say, you know what, there's nothing wrong with me. and i don't think you should hear doing something. you don't understand. somebody was fighting for a more inclusive uganda on her social media accounts. she calls for society where everyone is free to decide who they want to be. i have this, i'm here this what i look like a new plan for me. can you account for me when they go to like a hospital level? if i have an in my passport, i may go and i might be able to lake bright health. why pap smear, when they feel and you know, having i since as a country and look at that 15 man, see that it count. all you've done done pick

a month is like gender and difficult concentration of people that include the different counting people like what the government era and you actually called humble for dates. can you click that because it's not being born. kimberly says that speaking out for people like her is not an easy task, but she remains convinced that changing society. i take one little push at a time. that was really interesting to me by 1st i would like to hear your thoughts on that story. well, i believe everyone is created equal and you should feel free to be whoever you where you are in bob and probably will come in. but we're in the country. we don't allow jan. how do you feel that transgender is or gaze, or lesbians? although the, this will, of course, is the same as in, you know, with the leaving is secret life. but we have, as in bob, when was very popular,

was the transgender, and he's very, i think everything, but we love him. her just not a woman. and she's, she's just living a life though. ok. let's come back to music. the global funding because really cost havoc across many systems including use mean has been a very difficult civil li of since the equipment outbreak. many artists have had really difficult to perform and you included how have you been able to manage all this? well, the panoramic has affected the sector more than anything i think. and we have come up with different ideas of doing online shows, which are obviously not the same as being in contact with the audience. we love it when people are shouting and screaming and sweating. so, but that is not been really happening. but as for the travel bun, we are very unhappy about that because then it, it stops us from touring,

from being in other countries to do different shows. i personally didn't stop. i was traveling through the pandemic. i did everything i could to make sure i don't stop, which means i had to follow every protocol from every country i was going to. and if i have to quarantine or get a p c r, i did that so that at least i can continue to make music into what i love. well, thank you so much bye. moodle for hanging out with us today, and we wish you all the best in your endeavors. thank you so much for having me. the international travel bonds against many countries in sub saharan africa caused heated the bits. our own entity money is driving right into it. took it out. and when the emergence of the coven 19 on the con variant led to an almost immediate imposition of travel bonds, 2 countries in south africa,

africans reacted angry africa is not new to being left behind, singled out or just being ignored in times of global shad crises we just need to look back to december of 2020, to be reminded how did sometimes happens at the time us secretary general antonio parish want that vaccine. nationalism was moving at full speed. he was of course, referring to the hoarding and delays with intellectual property waivers. of the vaccines from wealthy countries. 12 months later, that's today, the results are in full display. a recent report from doctors without borders estimates, there are 500000000 excess doses in the united states. even if every eligible american got a booth to do, the same report goes on to say, but 241000000 doses could be wasted by g 7 and you countries alone in 2021. now of course, these countries can do with their doses what they want, but when you consider that only 76000 people have been fully vaccinated in chad or

just a 1000 in burgundy, then the question of moral responsibility really comes into play. these vaccine iniquities reflect long standing social, economic, and political inequality between wealthy and poor nations. these inequality is manifest in empathy response as well. in march of 2016, the l. a times published a piece headlined, why you probably didn't hear everyone talking about these major terror attacks. the piece went on to describe how attacks in african and middle eastern countries had gone and noticed that as belgium and france were also reeling back from violent and deadly attacks on home soil. now the world watched as social media giants pushed hashtags and special colored profile pictures in support of the european countries . the world also watched the monuments all over the world war covered in digital, french, and belgium flags. and unfortunately, that's where the empathy seems to run out. that one, no flags,

no hash tags or more, pres, to go around. it is impossible to care for everyone's problems everywhere all the time. but when did it become so easy to not care about? most of the problems coming from one part of the world. so often thank you. it is for but passionate educational overview. if you want more content, more heated debates took out, are you to know? when i'll head over to somali land there, we see a bunch of passionate young female eclipse fixing another to bu, of sort them, playing basketball is a porn in the sight of many traditionalists, angeles with girls out of tile is in the running against the social norms we met them on the court. so practicing lay up under the baking sun of some molly land is hard work, but sport woman like half star alma don't seem to care. when i come here is,

is basically like the best moments of the whole week because i love basketball and i've been playing for 9 years now. the only i know you thing is like when we're about to come inside here is just like people make some noises. so say something half. so my refers to intruding boys. this basketball court is closed off from the public, but that doesn't prevent some boys from trying to sneak in or watch from a distance. they are very strict towards religion, but i feel like it's only be used for women because men go out to do whatever they want. a lot of these girls have to stay or home per clean. a lot of them don't have jobs to go to as they're, the employment rate here is very, very low. the time that they're training is that the only time that they have some sort of freedom. a jamar hammered is a boxing champion and a professional basketball player from the u. k. live, after graduating, she moved to summerland to encourage sports among girls. now she's manage to set up

their 1st international match ever against you booty. it's some feat, considering the ministry of sports previously cancelled and or female football match, alleging bureaucratic problems. but i, on believes officials bowed to conservative pressure and were looking for an excuse to prevent girls from playing sports. but somali land is a conservative society. some believe women and girls shouldn't play sports at all. he did that. you well, if girls are playing alone, it is okay, but not to get the with boys it's normal would be play alone, but not with boys. our religion doesn't allow that. very western culture says that as normal but our culture and religion and don't support that just to legit. our struggle with very few bucketful quotes surrounded by wolves like this one. a young and her team also face harassment on the streets and on social media. if there were

around the street and get recognized, will be respected in the way that they should be respected. it's a very dangerous game that we're playing in general as full. but just as the team you put the arrives, i gets a call from an intermediary to the ministry of sport. they won't sanction the match . it's a massive disappointment. it's a massive disappointment to me, actually, to national community, the communities that helped us the, you know, to the part of the company and allowed all of this to happen later live music club in the capital r k. so the 2 teams make the best of the situation by enjoying the evening together . but it's only a temporary distraction from a crushing disappointment. i just hope things change. maybe in can. yes, this is not the thing case. you know, they need to have better connections, maybe better people, better them into the city better. i am mohammed though is far from giving up. she

says she'll do whatever it takes to see the girls compete on the court. even if it takes another 10 years. tough times for these girls, what makes it even harder? somebody land is realistic, organized of a sobering state and not but of international or even olympic committees. that lack of that resources get difficult surroundings. fingers crossed big thing, but they push on to keep your heads up golf. it's time to wrap up the shore. hope you've enjoyed every bit of it. we are eager for your feedback. so get in touch on facebook, youtube, or on our instagram channel. as on, if we leave you with some music, and of course it's no better choice today than been by is immortal. so here she is in her song, volcanic enjoy and bye for now a big
