Are you aware there is crime against humanity happening in the world right now that’s as cruel and inhumane as the Holocaust under Hitler? 

In this special episode of I Am The Universe with Martin Cowart, Rob Smith, CEO and Founder of The Phluid Project, joins Martin to discuss the passing of the Anti-Homosexuality Bill 2023 in Uganda. This law makes being gay punishable by death and is a humanitarian crisis that demands urgent attention.

This is a crime against humanity, and everyone on the planet is affected by it. In this conversation, Martin and Rob Smith, discuss ways to respond with compassion and humanity to this crisis.

Key highlights:

• The passing of the Anti-Homosexuality Bill 2023 in Uganda is a humanitarian crisis that demands urgent attention.

• This law makes being gay punishable by death and is inhumane, just like what happened during the Holocaust.

• The purpose of this podcast conversation is to raise awareness about this urgent crisis and explore ways to work towards a more inclusive and just world.

• Martin and Rob discuss the role of corporations and individuals in solving this crisis and the importance of taking action.

• It is crucial for everyone to become informed about this issue and to take action to save lives.

• This is not just an attack on the LGBTQ community, but on humanity itself, and we must respond with compassion and humanity.

• Martin talks about how you save the life of the most vulnerable people on the planet by making a $1000 donation to The Diamond Mine Academy 

Martin and Rob discuss the importance of amplifying the message and spreading awareness about the situation in Uganda through various platforms like social media, podcasts, and news outlets. They also talked about the power of individual actions and how people can contribute their time and influence to make a difference.

They emphasize the urgency of the situation and the need for immediate action. They urge people to speak up and use their platforms to raise awareness and pressure leaders to make a change. They also highlighted the importance of donating to organizations, like The Diamond Mine Academy,  that are working to help LGBTQ individuals in Uganda and other affected countries.

Towards the end of the show, Martin and Rob discuss the role of corporations in putting pressure on countries like Uganda to change the law by impacting them financially. They also touched on the importance of religious institutions like The Anglican Church and the Archbishop of Canterbury taking a stand the way the Pope has done against the law and advocating for the LGBTQ community.

Something that individuals and organizations can do is to support The Diamond Mine Academy. This institution is raising funds to move 1000+ LGBTQ refugees from the Kakuma refugee camp to a safe location. 

Become a Founding Member of the Diamond Mine Academy for a little as $35/monthly and save a life today. 

You can donate on their website, www.diamondmineacademy.org, and be a member.

Let's come together as a community and support this cause. The African people have a huge heart, and we need to break through the veneer of fear and hatred to get to the truth of who Africans really are. 

They are heartwarming, loving people like everybody else in the world, and we must respond with compassion and humanity. Let’s turn Africa upside down and help make it the most welcoming, most loving and acceptable continent on the planet.

 Episode summary:

I am delighted to welcome our guest, Uche Chukwu, to our live podcast this week. 

In this podcast, recorded live on March 10,2023 Uche Chukwu and Martin Cowart will lead a discussion to teach vulnerable LGBTQ Africans the best ways to safeguard themselves and their loved ones in this trying period.

In light of the hostile rhetoric and government crack-downs on human rights groups in Africa, I invited Uche to be my co-host to talk with LGBTQ African’s about the importance of protecting themselves from the hostile and dangerous environment where they are living. 

Uche is a Nigerian-American gay man living in the United States. Uche moved to the United States at age 15 with his parents. 

Uche’s aware of the privileges of growing up gay in America. He believes this is his reality and not the reality of his LGBTQ Africans living in Africa. 

LGBTQ people have no protection, especially from the government. It is important for LGBTQ Africans to protect themselves by not publicly displaying their identity as LGBTQ. 

It is critical for LGBTQ Africans to be safe and not seen in order to protect themselves from potential harm.and need to take safe cover underground to protect themselves. 

Kenya's First Lady Rachel Ruto has declared national prayers against homosexuality and the Ugandan Parliament has granted an MP leave to process the Anti-Homosexuality Bill, 2023, which would prohibit same-sex relationships.

If you’re LGBTQ living in Africa now is the time to be safe, not seen. Tune in to find out exactly how self-love and self-care is critical for your survival. We will tell you exactly what you must be doing to protect yourselves from the people on the ground who want to cause you harm. 

If you’re LGBTQ living in Africa, don’t miss this opportunity to learn and share what we need to do to go undercover and protect yourself during unrest.

Devoted to helping members of the African Diaspora LGBTQ community, Uche is a life coach and podcast host who works to enable LGBTQ Africans to reclaim their true selves in the face of systemic racism and homophobia.
