  • S2 E1: The Culture of Silence
    Officially back for Season Two! On this episode, Kabasigyi (@shesamukiga) and I (@muna_kampala) begin to unpack the culture of silence in our community. As we explore taboo topics this season, it's important to first dive into why these topics became taboo. Why don't we feel comfortable to express ourselves in our relationships? Why do we feel shame around being seen and/or heard?
    We talk about our different experiences being raised in Ugandan homes (one in Kampala, and the other in Canada) and how it affected the way we express ourselves. We touch on why some of us in the younger generation to speak on the current political situation in Uganda. We also get into silence in the workplace, church and lots more! Get ready for some good ol' conversation.

  • Season Two: Taboo Topics Trailer

    WE'RE BACK! 

    Season Two of the podcast is going to be focused on healing and learning through conversations about taboo topics in our Ugandan community. I (@muna_kampala) is joined by Kabasigyi (@shesamukiga) for this season.

    Understanding what causes us trauma and causes us to be the way we are is not only the first step to healing, but breaking generational patterns. So join us this season as we unpack and break the silence around different taboo topics; from family-inflicted trauma to sex and alcohol, we're going in! 

    We're showing up authentically, keeping it real and going IN this season. So, CAN WE TALK?
