Ep24: Cultural Disobedience with Phionah Kyokusiima

If you are always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be.— Maya Angelou

Phil sits with a longtime comradely fellow organizer Phionah Kyokusiima from Solidarity Uganda. Together they delve into the tactic of cultural disobedience, which has just as much subversive power—sometimes more—as civil disobedience. Kyokusiima is a seasoned organizer with the powerful Solidarity Uganda network (solidarityuganda.org). She enlightens us on how

women are proliferating the spaces they have been excluded from and seizing their power through breaking traditional gender taboos.

Can culturally profane expressions serve as a mobilization tool for social change? Are they inherently powerful in themselves? Join us as we unpack these questions and more in a conversation that bridges questions of tradition and transformation.
