the mapped out shows the geopolitical reality beyond the board. what makes things the way they are mapped out? navigating a changing world. now on youtube, the queens from their 1st you see the famous screen of asia, egypt to the celebrated queen petra, the queen charlotte, i've seen it made for the experience of bridget 2 to the one and only between bay. queens, that icon is part of pop culture and the integral parts of everyday language. they symbolized ha l as in an individual hey, hey queen. the origin of the term yes, green can be traced about tickets to the case in queen was once as loved for gaming, but the l g b t q c. well, rooms and drag queens nested back and made it

a term of empowerment. hello, kings and queens. don't have to be royal to carry ourselves with pride and grace. the world queen has travelled through history covering layers of meaning. today, it's more than just a tied to a full monex. it's a celebration of pop identity and community. that's exactly what we'll be looking at. that looks role, but also the symbolic meaning of every sense of the word. my name is 5 to become a low. she welcome to the show. coming up on the show. you will be out with cell as girls gliding across and these are boxed with a grace and got with them to explain to cape town where i dropped out is i'd have to move like a fozzy, to the rights of clear people. and last but definitely not least, we turned in a jury a wow. queen shut off. he was on the excuse. seems to be amazing. ready to meet the

queens of the streets of these above us? well, i'm good about fellows, girls in high breeza came is, is really define and what it means to be as cater in ethiopia led by something i tell a lot, but easy. okay. and goes, caters, are causing their place in a male dominated sport. it's more than just catering for the girls. this is about breaking knobs, building community. i'm showing the wall that both mass and grace can roll side by side. they're stylish, they're daring. big chick slip the better then you can kick up the rest in the traditional how bishop came these, these ethiopians data girls are on a mission bigger than taking over the nearest top pipe. there. read defining skating in just a by says we're how the show we have a lot of culture as norms and everything. but it's not that much inviting regarding to this kind of research to support 26 year old. so seen

a child has been skating for 9 years. and remember the time when she was the only girl tearing up the streets, boxes in my cousins like we used this, marcia of water bosses and on china sand owners. and they're like, we push each other and then we still do that. so i like that. do i saw a skateboard like the boys were like security and was fun. so in search of a cruise so. so, you know, found due to the ethiopian girl skate as in 2019. that was the easy part. but convincing other girls to join it was hard to then mustering a 360 flip. when i asked the girls, like whenever i asked you want to try this or blah blah, there's kind of willie. but whenever the boys are like trying to approach them with the escape or they've kind of not okay. so i was like maybe if i start teaching one of the girls, they be so hard. so whenever i go there like i give them ice cube with

a nice start ringing, i just noticed the awards with me. gradually, a small group of intrigues like minded girls are riley to run so, so you know, and they started meeting up once a week. these days on most weekends they can be found at the skate clocked in at just about girls and young women are encouraged to join. i get them on the social media. sometimes i watch them there. and i was interesting to to escape one day i so voice kidding around and i want to join them and ask them about kidding. and they told me there is a solution for girls solely on saturday with more than 20 active members and 56000 follow is on instagram. ethiopian girl skate does on not just to prove that trends such as the and take on skates. quoting may be different from the grungy male dominated california based origins of the sport. but the ethiopian girl

scale does have something special. and it's there. while international media attention has also raised to their profile skating seems to keep the girls from the ground, except for of course, when they're catching some err on the off by. to learn skating, you have to send so many times said you have to not give up on skating. so it's pardon me patience. he can see this. the 1st a scene of skating has become a road to building a community and creating shots of old women and girls, and was society and their family might have been skeptical at 1st. but siena believes that it takes just a few trail blazers to lead the way. we are us of like a daughter of a very rarely is a sisters. so certainly we should have to be a little bit of, you know, reliving rebellious to do something crazy or to do something for others. so you

know what our parents is gonna say something. everybody's going to say something until they so it's accessible. they may not be the route you rebels of skateboarding. we recognize from tv, but with the distinctive outfits cool, has thousands of moves and the ability to roll with a crew. the ethiopian girl sketches probably have more in common with skating origin than most of those. if you opened scanner, queens are certainly covering all their plays with grace and determination. but let's go ahead and run for that into the intriguing i ran out of women sports in was i'm big of it to queens from the african continent has always been celebrated for the excellence behind the chairs and put in finishes life, another story. the dockside of high performance boards where the pages of success opened, collide with mental health challenges. that's the story or for my swimming pool to

just like us by no one's best info. olympics blurry, had dream felt just 2nd, a short, leaving high grappling with high break and depression. but this is not a story of defeat. it's one of re bus. just the warning. this story contains the discussions around suicide. almost a decade ago. jessica sonya, what's most, i'm big square swimming is prodigy and ready to take on the olympics in rio de janeiro. the reason i started swimming when i was 2 years old, santa died a and when i was 7, i started competing to represent my country. and that will phase one, set the on and found the from the age of $25.00. it was practically my life. the level of my life, i think, i mean so many of the, the, one more that me as we discussed on, you know, one, several types of and such important individual records in mozambique simply a much natalie is being a very hardworking athlete. very persistent. she gave

a lot for the country for swimming, for the sports in the country. but just because olympic dream fell, go nice in the show. in qualifying, just for 2nd separated have from like, you know, with swimming be desktops in video. the disappointment, last question. for them, is it going to say about the last on? no, no, i 5 feel pretty simple. now i have support on the one hand, but it wasn't enough uh its own season. the people died. this the falls at the bottom. the motivated me and with the loss of my coach, but it'd be good to assign to us. i went into depression of things he moved for who do what i reside, the and i didn't know what to do with. it ain't annoyed all for that. it was besides arranging the because i was only a few seconds away from the pick minimum qualifying time. what's the, what's the meaning more name before now for a jessica story is not one of crushed dreams. in fact, it's

a boxed incredible turn around of a talented escalate. finding a korea beyond the pool, an ox saving a life. welcome to my studio. now it's hard to imagine that jessica was experienced suicidal thoughts after falling into a depression post within 2 miles to going to my i was in a very, very bad space. i attempted suicide during my depression. so it was really important for my lead. but i still don't know the nice face today shipping some various surfaces such as canvases, fabrics, was murals, and even human bodies. that's what she needs school. okay. i mean, guess i me that this is my friends. i'm either, she's a dime so and she's going to be my buddy painting model for

a performance she's going to do to live with that is a pretty natal a i us completes me, makes me more alive and freeze me to be who i am. so i already live from ok. it's really not every artist who has this opportunity to say it's helpful to me that uh, but i think that as a woman, artist, we're gaining more space to be able to make a living from us in dive as well swimming. it's never give up on her. jessica pretends to the pain in 2022. as a coach. jessica samuels phone raise to move on from despair, and had great issues and guidance. the next generation of most them becomes through the stress of competitive swimming is her new targets. just because sonya is doing it shows us how queens can reclaim their lives, even in the face of question to fit. it is a fond that depression rates amongst college athletes may range from 16 percent to

21 percent. yeah, for absolutely for mental health and wellbeing just as important as a physical health. if you do experience suicidal thoughts. so good help. i've been there as mental health support staff. it's now let's move to south africa where another group of queens is taking control of their well being. this time is a bottle of games. one of the country's most pressing health challenges. hayes ivy would not have 20 percent of those leaving with the virus. young women face pointing reality shift to buy a new quality stigma on limited access to health cap mcqueen's leading the charge for a healthy a future, especially for women in china is bag nearly 20 percent of adults in south africa live with h i v. that's among the highest incidence rates in the world, l g, b, t, q, class, individuals and young woman like for your kazi, my cache are particularly vulnerable. as a young woman living in south africa,

fishing females, they not really, really much. given the proper education, you know about how economic inequality also disproportionately affects women limits of access to quality health care. many feel pressured into relationships with older men, often without access to protection. that's promising clinical trials exploring injectable h ivy. medication could be a game changer. patients receive injections every 2 or 6 months as opposed to taking daily pope go. yeah, it's only old people that will, you know, keep the discipline of always having to remind themselves that okay, i need to dream vehicles you know, so yeah, i'm young as if my feet. oh for dates. experts say injectable prep eliminates meeting to carry or take polls, probably keep reducing the stigma associated with

h i. v press can also be used without apartments cooperation. this is particularly important when a woman is violence from the pop. now, if she asked them to use a condom research as like angela campbell say, these factors could revolutionize h i v prevention. the ability is because of the social and economic spaces in the country. they have least access to you cannot make benefits because of cultural issues. as well, the girl child is often forgotten in the household. you find that they make very bad decisions with regards to older partners. and also in terms of the social activities, way they come to condom to 6. and even in some cases, multiple partners as a, as a, as a way to make on income in south africa. the clinical trials are underway for long accident drugs called linda cup of beer and tablets hargrove year. however, they offered us to overcome. while prep has been used successfully and homosexual men for several years, clinical studies have shown

a mixed picture regarding the effectiveness of print in women, as also not search and how transgender people respond to long acting h r b medication. a disproportionately high number of transgender south africans h i. v positive research as in being, is entwined, that field traffic people are being excluded from consideration. a huge part of our trust in the population is play is working cause and i feel like the odds being accommodated in terms of access to care or health care and being using klein of cognitive skills or considering trying injectable medication. but they want more information set. yes, i have heard about the engine tools, and i thought about them as something that i would rather get on to as opposed to the polls. i'm not very educates are on the side effects involved as proof. so there's not much awareness, i think, available to me, and i lack a person who's going to give me the lived experience on how perhaps she did them in my communities, among the unknowns. there's one fact long acting,

a chevy. medication is currently more expensive than daily pulled presently on the market. guessing the drug to remote communities will also be a challenge. a realistic timeline to get these injectables at a fair price to people who need it. i mean, it depends on how hard we want to fight and how much we want to be an advocate, realistically speaking, 10 to 15 is. that's when we'll have access to these things. if we do it the right way, while advances in a try be treatment or promising, and indeed, groundbreaking, house officials are still wary according prep. i'm other long accident drugs. so the blended from fighting for health, a credit in south africa were step into a world of an apologetic, self expression and cultural pride with bringing back a far as the the moment africa of drug who embodies the sierras, intersection of enclose a culture and create as belinda is redefining drug as both as celebration and

protest. we've been moved. montage that black dr. magic. the how does the mama africa of craig celebrate? quinn is an closer culture. despite pushed back. i can not separate my cost on it from my pier. knows because they both a part of my identity, but then they could come a couple months the is a drag on so it's an active living in. ty lita, a township on the cape flat. they drag the survey is inspired by the close of culture and permanent female, so that for contrib places. when i say i'm a cost of quail queer costs. uh if, because the to for me i into lead because i'm proudly cost. i'm also proud to clear up for me it is only important because it's also work of i'm doing these either on his ideas that being create, i'm african. belinda is the founder of

a move and quote, hash tag to that track. magic which tells the stories of the struggles of black, clear people living in township. sweet discrimination is part of everyday life. tons of space of south full queer life. it's a difficult space to navigate normally. zach is to see with one natural definition, but it's the live thing, k you clap, and that is also protest. i think in the township, particularly, plays a politico because it was crisis. it really says x and norma tells type, this is no space. it's really the condition either this i d is of same day being belinda is prepaying for the next performing as, as a huge liner at kate's on pride. we've been deemed invisible for a very long time. not because we want to buy because we haven't been given the space also to reflect the diversity of the community,

but it also seems as different message age. the cream is not going to be a white thing. and that's the, the, the dominant narrative in africa. but that is it, that the creative was imported from the waste. so black visibility increased spaces is definitely very much important. for this use pride, belinda is performing songs by brenda fussy, the icon, the closest thing at the mcdonough of townships by time magazine k town. pride raises awareness of eligibility to plus issues and continuously campaigns for the freedoms of the queer community. in south africa, we are very lucky to be and, but africa, tons of it affords us our human dignity. we really, i'm katie. this is my goal of how was to play said any and all possible africa. why do we denied existing in the own homelands input after jobs we need to

appreciate and for the legislation that provide us with our freedom and liberty for belinda, this freedom is not just political. it is also the personal. it's the only time when i'm free, but i'm on stage. it's the type of free build, but i one for you for life. it's the soul of right to the the moment because the drag is making a statement by challenging traditional know, bringing awareness to the fact that culture and orientation one when it comes to who you are, the those greens of fi alas. and now to crohn the show we celebrate african cleans me the house of oreo quin. i mean not all of them is all from the now. could do an
