Convos With Ekeesit

In this episode, we have strived t shade light on the issues of drug abuse and mental health in the poetry circles. There seems to be an increase of abuse of drugs,  what leads most creatives to this point and how do we fight it? Lule and Miti share personal experiences and what they think should be done to curtail this phenomenon that is sweeping the poetry fraternity like a wildfire. 

We also speak about mental health and what we ought to do to look out for each other and where to find help, what are the ways we can use poetry as a vehicle to fight mental health issues that are prevalent in most creatives. 

Hopefully, this opens your mind and mine on how we can tackle these issues. I hope this podcast makes you better so that you can make those around you better. 

In this episode we go back to the beginning of the year when Ugandan Social media was awash with accusations of Rape, these were seen as untrue by mostly men  . in this conversation we try to understand why the victim is always blamed, why does our Populus seem to be clueless on how to fight this vice?  Pesh and Phil exchange their thoughts and some experiences to help see our society for what it truly is and how we can do better.  How can we stop rape and we also try to understand the idea of consent when it comes to sex.
