This episode is so edutaining we created a side chat to talk about it because someone needs to stop it from being this GOOD! Why is it so good, you ask? It's about a male beauty contest! Do we really need to say more? Sit down with us as we put on our National Geographic outfits to learn all about the Guérewold festival, which has been celebrated yearly in the Sahara desert by the Wodaabe people for generations. It has elaborate make-up challenges, talent rounds with dancing and singing, a wheel of destiny, hallucinogenics drinks, and it ends in marriage. If this doesn't spark your interest, we're sorry to say: you are dead inside. Press play, girl!
