For some reason, even though we are told to be ourselves - we are still anything but or a version of ourselves especially when it comes to relationships. This week we discuss the perils of being "The Cool Girlfriend". From pretending to be a soccer fanatic to a complete overhaul of your identity, we delve deeper into love at the cost of your identity.

The Cool Girlfriend

Kwam

A devotion to the experience of black women in South Africa. 

So often the experience of black women is monolithic. We are described as strong as if we can expend without breaking. We are described as aggressive as if we thunder without rain. But we are more than descriptions that we never subscribed to. 

Kwam – a conversation from two dynamic voices Nqobile and Lindie who do not account for everyone but offer more colour to a description of us, black women in the diaspora.

Listen to Kwam every week – to laugh, to think, to engage, to wonder but mostly to have a girlfriend in your ears after a long day wherever and whenever.
