Samuel is that typical African man dubbed ”woman wrapper.” And like every other young man, he's effeminate. He has been called several names. Tagged being gay and feminine. And insulted and shamed for being different in demeanor.
Sadly, a few years ago, he went to a party, lost his phone, and ”unknown” gained access to his social media accounts. His phone was hacked. He was outed as being gay.
In this episode, he shared how it all transpired, his family and friends' reaction to the posts. It's been a cycle of shame and grief for the lad. From losing his dad just recently as well to a whole lot more.
He shared his story raw with me and explained what kept him going and how life has been in general for him. In his words from a place of resilience, ”I picked myself up from the ground and I dust my body.” Against all impossible odds stacked against him, he is still surviving, crossing over hurdles, crushing down obstacles and pulling through.
Listen and enjoy!
