19. Activism: where being "woke" means doing more than just the bare minimum! w/ Boniface Mwangi
In this fifth episode of Season 3, the Yes Girls say "yes" to their most challenging "being" episode yet! They both say "YES" to being activists.
But what exactly does being an activist mean? What does it entail, and what are some types of activism? The Yes Girls explore answers to all of these questions, including why activism is important, how to be an activist on social media, and if anyone can be one.
So for this challenge, the girls had one week to step into the shoes of activists by focusing on topics of their choice. Claire chose to handle the water shortage situation in her local area, while Akumu chose to handle mental health awareness.
On hand to guide them through the entire process was the guest expert for this episode, Boniface Mwangi (Instagram: @bonifacemwangi).
From being an artist himself & travelling the world as a documentary photographer; to promoting the arts in Kenya through a groundbreaking creative space; fighting corruption every day; holding Kenyan public officials to account; seeking political office, and founding a political party. We can't even list everything he does or has done!
He offered the girls the guidance they needed, and off they went into their 1-week challenge to become some version of Boniface Mwangi with their topic of choice.
Listen in if you're curious about activism or how you can get started as an activist with a topic you are passionate about.
