of the the queens from their 1st you see the famous friend of asia, is it to the celebrated queen petra, the queen charlotte, i've seen it made for the experience of bridgets in to the one and only queen bay queen size icon is part of pop culture and an integral parts of everyday language. they symbolized top elegance, an individual policy. hey, hey queen. the origin of the term yes, queen can be traced about tickets to the case in queen was ones as loved for gaming . but the l g b t q c. ball room and drag queens, smashed it back and made it

a term of empowerment. hello, kings and queens. don't have to be royal to carry yourselves with pride and grace. the word 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 roll 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 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 from gold. and last but definitely not least we turned in nigeria. wow. queen shut off. he was us exclusive, tall. you may say. ready to meet the queens of the streets of these above us. well,

i'm good about fellows, girls and hobbies academies is really fine and what it means to be as cater in a he will be led by so soon i tell a lot easier for young girls 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 slip back to 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 top pipe. they are redefining skating in just a by says 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 risk to support 26 year old so. so you know, charla has been skating for 9 years,

and remember the time when she was the only girl tearing up the street boxes in my cousins like we used this, marcia of water bosses and i'm trying to sand 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 fine. so in search of a cruise so. so, you know, founder did 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 cable or they kind of not ok. so i was like maybe if i start teaching one of the girls, they be so happy. so whenever i go there like i give them my skateboard and i start

bringing additional skateboards with me. gradually, a small group of intrigues like minded girls are riley to run, so i'll see, you know, and they started meeting up once a week. these days on most week trans they can be found at this stage clocked in at just a by girls and young women are encouraged to join. i get them on a 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 skating. and they told me there is a station for girls solely on saturday, with more than 20 active members and 56000 follow us on instagram. ethiopian girl skate does on not just to prove their trends such as they and take on skates. quoting may be different from the grungy male dominated california based origins of the sport, but the ethiopian girl skate does have something special and it's there. while the

international media attention has also raised to that profile, so gauging seems to keep the girls from the ground. it except of course, when they're catching some air on the off by to learn. kidding. you have to sell so many times said you have to not give up on skating. so it's pardon me patients. he can see this 1st, a seen, a skating has become a road to building a community and creating shots as for women and girls. and while society and their family might have been skeptical at 1st fussing, i believe is that it takes just a few trailblazers to lead the way we are us of like a daughter of a very rarely is a sisters so that 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? and so our parents is gonna say something. everybody is going to say something until they so it's a physical. they may not be the rowdy rebels of skateboarding. we recognize from tv, but with the distinctive outfits cool, has thousands of moves and ability to roll with a crew. the opium girl skate has probably have more in common with skating origin than most of those. is he opened scanner creams are certainly covering all their plays with grace and determination. but let's go ahead and when fall back into the intriguing irene of women sports in was i'm big of a 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 presence of success opened collide with mental health challenges. that's the story or form of swimming pool. did you just like us

by no one's best info. olympics blurry, had dream felt just 2nd, 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 the warning. this story contains the discussions around suicide. almost a decade ago. jessica sonya, what's most, i'm big, square, swimming prodigy and ready to take on the olympics in rio de janeiro is really the reason i started swimming when i was 2 years old. santa died a and when i was 7, i started the competing to represent my countries isn't that requires concept 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 such important individual records in what some peak 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 lie you know, with swimming. biggest task in really the disappointment of questions? is it good to say about the less 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 sequel died this. the falls at the bottom, the motivated me with the loss of my coach, but 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 jessica story is not 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 experience 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 pain some various surfaces such as canvases, fabrics, was murals, and even human bodies. that's what she needs for. okay, i mean guess i made up. this is my friends. i mean, 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 was 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 my but i think that as a woman, artist with gaining more space to be able to make a living from the side 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 despair, and had great issues and guidance. the next generation of most of the big comes 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 crushing defeat. it is a fun that depression rates among 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 those leaving with the virus. young women face pointing reality shift to buy a new quality stigma. unlimited access to health cap mcqueen's leading the charge for a healthy, a future. especially for women in johannesburg. 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 plus 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. bally 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 as 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. prep can also be used without

a partner as 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 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 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 south african 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 is inclined. i've talked about as well, so considering trying injectable medication, but they want more information set. yes, i have heard about thinking 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 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 them the lived experience on how perhaps cheated 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 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 health 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 clear news 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 aren't as an active as living in. ty lita, a township on the cape flat. they drag the sword 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 spaces so full queer lives. if the difficult bass to navigate normally the zach is to see with the one that rolls definition, but it's the lips 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 releasing position either this i d is of same time 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, it reflects the diversity of the community, but it also seems as different message age. the cream is not necessarily

a white thing, and that's the, the, the dominant negatives in africa. but that, that the creative was imported from the waste. so lack 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 all 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 after death. tons of it affords us our human dignity. we really, i'm katie, to like go off. i was to blame, said any and all positive africa. why do we denied existence 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 3 by one stage. it's the type of thing built that i one for if it was, 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 the 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 queen. i mean, i all the sends out from the now could do an estate in the general. yeah. staying
