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 carrying layers of meaning. today it's more than just a title for monex. it's a celebration of pop identity and community. that's exactly what we'll be looking at, that let's 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 this girl sliding across and these are boxed with grace and got with them to explain to cape town where i dropped out is i'd have to with like a 5 the 5. so 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. we've talked amazing. ready to meet

the queens of the streets of these above us. well, i'm good about fellows, girls and hobbies academy is, is really fine and what it means to be as cater in ethiopia led by. so it's an i tell a lot, but it will be and goes, caters, are causing their plays in a male dominated sport. it's more than just catering for the girls. this is about breaking knowns, 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 flick the better then you can kick up the rest in the traditional how bishop can these, these ethiopians data girls are on a mission bigger than taking over the nearest half price. they're redefining skating. and just uh, by those, we're how the show we have a lot of cultures, norms and everything like 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 i'm trying to stand on it and then like we push each other and then we still do that. so i like that, do i saw a skateboard like that? 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 them that 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 kind of not okay. sounds like maybe before i start teaching one of the girls, they be so hard. so whenever i go there, like i give them ice cables,

then i start bringing additional state boards, which means 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 clock in just a by 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 escape one day i so voice kidding around and i don't want to join them and ask them about kidding. and they told me there is a session for girls to leave on saturday with more than 20 active members and 56000 follows on instagram ethiopian girl skate does on not just to prove that trends such as that take on skates. quoting may be different from the grungy male dominated california based origins of the sport, but the ethiopian girl scared of have something special and it's their. while

international media attention has also raised their profiles, gaping seems to keep the girls from the ground. except of course, when they're catching some air on a 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 for so seen a skating has become a roads to building a community and creating chances for women and girls. and while society and their family might have been skeptical at 1st, but seeing, i believe is that it takes just a few trail blazers to lead the way. we are a, 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 is going to say something until they so it's a physical. 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 skate has probably have more in common with skating origin than most those is he opened scanner. queens are certainly covering all their plays with grace and determination. but let's go ahead and went for that into the intriguing irene of women. sports in with them big. i'm going to queens from the african continent has always been celebrated for the excellence behind the chairs and put him finishes life. another story, the dock side of high performance boards where the presence of success opened collide with mental health challenges. that's the story or for my swimming pool to

g. jessica spaniel one's best info olympics. glory. how dream self. just check on a short leaving how grappling with high break and depression. but this is not a story of defeat. it's one of re bus. just a warning. this story contains the discussions around suicide. almost a decade ago jessica sonya was most, i'm big, square, swimming 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 buy your school and set the on and found the from the age of 25. 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 2nd person's 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 gym felt a good, nice in the short and qualifying, just for 2nd separate to have from like, you know, with swimming big desktops in real. the disappointment of questions. is it good 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 its own season. the sequel died. this is the fault of the the motivated me and with the loss of my coach, then it'd be good to santos. i went into depression of things. he moved for you. what i resigned, and i didn't know what to do with it, and i knew it all sort of it. it was besides arranging the because i was only a few seconds away from the pick minimum qualifying time. what's the most of the meaning more name? now for a jessica story is lots,

one of crushed dreams. in fact, it's about the incredible 10 around of a talented escalate. finding a career beyond the pool, an ox saving a life. welcome to my studio. now it's hard to imagine that jessica was experienced suicidal thoughts as to 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 odd was really important for my lead, but i still don't know the nice face today. she paying some various surfaces such as canvases, fabrics was bureaus and even human bodies. that's what she needs for. okay, so i'm gonna guess i made up. this is my friends, i'm either she's a dime so and she's going to be my body painting model for

a performance she's going to do to live with that. is that pretty natal was a i r complete. some 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 as helpful to me that my but i think that as a woman, artist, we're gaining more space to be able to make a living from the dive as well. swimming. it's never give up on her. jessica pretends to paint in 2022 as a coach. jessica samuels, phone raise to move on from display, and have 3 is one and guidance. the next generation of most of the big comes through the stress of competitive swimming, is her new targets. jessica stein who is doing it, shows us how queens can reclaim their lives, even in the face of crushing defeat. it is a fun that depression rates amongst college athletes may range from 16 percent to

21 percent. now for us, please mental health and wellbeing just as important as a physical health. if you do experience suicidal thoughts. so good health, i've been there as mental health support stuff. 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 with another 20 percent of adults leaving with the virus. young women face thornton reality shift to buy and new quality stigma. unlimited 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 woman 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 clean deal with the 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. prepped 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 timble say, these factors could revolutionize h i v. prevention ability is because of the social and economic spaces in the country. they have this 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 mistakes, and even in some cases, multiple partners as a, as a, as a way to make on income. in south africa. clinical trials are underway for long acting drugs called lin, a cup of beer and tablets hargrove year. however, they all hurdles 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 responds to long acting h r b, medication disproportionately high number of transgender. so that's the can h, i v positive research. as in being as entwined, that feels trans people are being excluded from consideration. a huge part of our trust gender population is play, is working class and i feel like the odds being accommodated in terms of access to care or health care. and being using klein, i've talked about as well. so considering trying injectable medication, but they weren't 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 educate so on the side effects involved as perhaps so there's not much awareness i think available to me. and i like a person who's going to give me the lived experience on how perhaps treated 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 injectable 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 years. 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 of the long accident drugs. so the blended from fighting for health, a credit in south africa. we step into a world of apologetic self expression and cultural pride with bringing back a far as the the moment africa of drug, who and what is the sierras intersection of enclose a culture and create as belinda is redefining drug, as both as celebration and

a protest we've been moved, montage that black dr. magic, the how does the mama africa of drug celebrate quinn is and close the 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 cup of coffee is a drag onto as an active as living in. ty lita, a township on the cape flat, they drag the 3rd 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 2 for me i into lead because i'm proud of the cost. i'm also proud to be clear. and for me it is obviously 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 career people living in township. sweet discrimination is part of everyday life. tundra spaces south full queer lives. if the difficult bass to navigate normally exact is to see with the one that roll definition, but it's the live thing, k you clap, and that is also protest. i think in the township, particularly plays of political it for only because it times crosses, it really says x and norma tells type, this is no space. it's lisa english and i this ideas of the same time being belinda is prepaying for the next performance 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 reflects 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 narratives 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 l. g, b, t to plus issues and continuously campaigns for the freedoms of the queer community . in south africa, we are very lucky to being put africa. tons of it affords us our human security. we really, i'm katie, to go off. i was to blame said, uh any at all possible africa. why do we denied existing in the own homelands input after jobs we need to appreciate and for the legislation that
