In this deeply emotional and boldly unfiltered episode of Hot in The City, we bid farewell to our beloved host Sainabou as she prepares to relocate abroad. But she’s not leaving quietly—her final appearance is a courageous and powerful conversation about a topic many avoid in Gambian homes, relationships, and culture: Consent and Boundaries.

 What We Discuss:

What Consent and Boundaries really mean—beyond just saying “no.”

How Gambian cultural norms often blur or dismiss personal limits.

Emotional intrusions by family, partners, and friends—where is the line?

Everyday violations we normalize—from forced hugs to guilt-driven decisions.

Why respecting boundaries isn’t rebellion—it’s self-respect.

 Why This Matters:

This episode isn’t just a send-off—it’s a wake-up call. We’re challenging unhealthy cultural habits, empowering personal freedom, and urging YOU to reflect on how you respect others’ space—and protect your own.

💐 A Special Tribute to Sainabou:

We honor Sainabou’s vibrant energy, fearless opinions, and warm soul. Her journey with us may be ending, but her impact will be felt long after this episode. Join us in celebrating her legacy.

In this gripping and emotional episode of Hot in The City, the Daily Dose Plus team takes a brave and unfiltered look at sexual abuse in The Gambia — and the culture of silence that protects it. From personal stories to harsh societal truths, the girls open up about a painful reality that too many face in silence.

Victims are shamed. Abusers are protected.

Boys and men are left out of the conversation.

Justice is out of reach.

This episode exposes the emotional, psychological, and societal cost of a culture that buries abuse under fear, shame, and stigma. It’s time to have the conversation — for survivors, for justice, and for a future where silence no longer wins.

After the May 8th youth protests that shook Banjul, it's time for hard truths about our generation. Why did scores of young Gambians take to the streets? Why are over 35,000 of our youth risking death in the Mediterranean when Gambians abroad send home remittances worth 20% of our GDP. In this episode, we dissect the mental toll of job stigma that has our youth doing "backway" rather than certain jobs at home while thriving in those same roles abroad. We explore how desperation is crushing self-esteem and why the recent anti-corruption protests represent more than politics—they're a cry for dignity. Are we nurturing a culture that devalues local work? Or is the system broken beyond repair? Join the conversation that's dividing households across The Gambia. 🇬🇲

In this episode, we dive into the often-unseen forces behind real social change. While protests and public campaigns are powerful, change—especially in countries with limited civic space—often unfolds through quieter, strategic efforts. From community organizers and legal advocates to professionals pushing for equity within their roles, we explore the diverse actors and methods driving progress. Join us as we uncover the behind-the-scenes work of changemakers across sectors—women mobilizing at the grassroots, CSOs lobbying for reform, and individuals using their platforms to shape policy and justice. This conversation challenges traditional ideas of activism and invites us to rethink what it truly means to make an impact.
