In the last few weeks, our next guest has encouraged to invest in our local tourism and explore the hidden gems that make our country great. Today, we focus on how COVID-19 has impacted the local tourism industry and the role that travel bans or lockdown regulations have played. We find out how travellers can make alternative arrangements when regulations do change and they can no longer go on their vacation.

In the past few days, we have seen how some quarters of the online community have shamed women for sharing their experiences of gender-based violence. According to a survey conducted by Plan International (2020), 58% of women had experienced online harassment; with half saying they faced more harassment online than in the street. Further, the report highlights that girls are being targeted online just for being young and female. It adds that it gets worse for women and girls who are politically outspoken, disabled, Black, or identify as queer (LGBTQI+). In light of the revelations that have emerged since the Jub Jub interview on Podcast and Chill with MacG, it has brought a conversation that is long overdue surrounding how communities respond to women coming forward and the trauma we may inflict on their mental health. There are many challenges faced by victims when it comes to their interactions with their local communities. It involves being shamed for sharing their story, where people ask why the victim did not choose to tell their story at the time of the incident. It involves how law enforcement protects perpetrators and victims going through secondary victimization

Our next guest was inspired to start her business after a trip to the supermarket where she found the eggs on the retail shelf were too expensive. Since that fateful day in 2012, she decided to buy 10 egg-laying chickens and started a small farm in her backyard. Since then, she has managed to expand her egg production business from selling to neighbours to supplying retail outlets where she used to buy eggs. She has also stepped into the vegetable production and launched a graduate training programme

The holiday season is generally thought of as a time of joy and love. However, it’s a time of loneliness for some people within our communities. For those people live far, their loneliness stems from missing the opportunity to see their loved ones. For some people, they may identify this time of year as one of grief and not fully healed from losing loved ones. For some people, they may have fallen out and become estranged with their families due to a toxic environment. For others, the thought of going to holiday parties is met with dread and often, they feel alone despite being in a room filled with people. For those who feel a sense of loneliness, holidays can be a time of additional stress.
