Episode Title: Press for Progress

We celebrate International Women’s Month a week late, but at Podak Purple, every month is women’s month. It’s three times the trouble when Siran and Mansa join Pokuaa to talk Cardi B’s blow up, the combined nightmare of Ghanaian healthcare and childbirth, and sisterhood. It’s more or less a gushfest between 3 friends, but if you want a dose of girlpower, block off an hour or so and hop into this episode.

It's a thickums convention at Podak Purple headquarters with Helen (@FlavaFlavswife, IG: ordinaryfitgirll) and Mame (@mamestastes). We discuss creative outlets, being an intentional asshole and going vegan.

Helen loves her 9-5 and definitely ISN'T tweeting her way through her way through her breakup with Idris Elba during working hours. Mame shares her discoveries about the linkage between food and her body in a passionate speech about nkontomire. There are a lot of gems in between the laughing fits so give it a listen.

The Process Summit kicked off at the BBNZ space in Nima this year, organized by Juls and Signatures outfit, the AccraWeDey team were invited to host a live podcast which featured industry players like Kofi BeatMenace, Seven, JaySo, Official Kwame and Kemist.

Podak Purple is back, and this time she brought some friends with her to Rush City, Nima. Taylor, Cyril, Donald (of @GoldCoastReport) and Abankwa join us to relive the best and worst of Valentine’s Day in Ghana and define African romance. Turns out Donald is a baby boy with high standards and Abankwa wants to fight capitalism on the beach with a special someone. Taylor doesn’t rate the traditional flowers and chocolate anymore and Cyril officially puts himself on the market…. So… Ladies… *wink wink*.

P.S. If you’d like to know where to pick up a Tupac sex doll, keep listening

forLoopAfrica is an independent community of software developers and enthusiasts across Africa. The organization has, in the last 18 months of operation, spawned into a fundamental fabric of the African tech ecosystem.

The first forLoopAfrica Ghana event was organized at iSpace Ghana on November 11 2017.

We were there and fortunate enough to have a conversation with two of the speakers, Neo Ighodaro, and Micheal Agbo-Tettey Soli.

Our conversation ranged from why it is necessary to have events like forLoopGhana and why the things we take for granted - like steady power and internet - is essential to the growth of a productive Ghanaian developer community.

Neo Ighodaro (https://www.neoighodaro.com) is the CTO of hotels.ng

Michael Agbo-Tettey Soli (twitter.com/codeoverdoze) is a lecturer at the University of Ghana
