This episode brings together voices from Zambia and Canada to talk about how colonization disrupted traditional gender roles, silenced women’s leadership, and helped normalize gender-based violence. Guests share powerful personal stories and community histories, reflecting on what was lost—and what’s still worth fighting for. From pre-colonial matriarchies to modern movements for justice, this conversation is about healing, reclaiming culture, and finding new ways forward rooted in old wisdom.
