In this incredibly raw and moving episode, we sit down with Anam, a brave voice from the LGBTQ+ community. Anam shares their journey growing up in the rural Eastern Cape, South Africa, a place where being a member of the LGBTQ+ community is often considered a taboo.

Anam's story is one of profound resilience. Despite attending an all-boys school and facing a society that did not always understand them, they never lost their sense of self. This is a powerful testament to the strength it takes to stay true to who you are, even when the world tells you to be someone else. We explore the emotional landscape of navigating identity in a traditional community, the challenges of finding your voice, and the beautiful process of self-discovery.

This conversation is more than just a personal story; it’s a crucial insight into the realities faced by many LGBTQ+ people in rural areas of South Africa. Anam's journey is a beacon of hope and a reminder that authenticity can thrive even in the most difficult circumstances.
