In this episode, we discuss a piece titled "Dear African Abroad: Home Is Not Waiting For You" by Takondwa. We talk about our blind spots and how they impact the ways in which we continue to interact with the places we call home.  The sound quality is a bit shambolic but please bare with us as we work our way through that. We promise it will improve as we continue on this journey.  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/socialexperiment/message

Surviving Winter And Searching For The Sun

In this week's episode, we've decided to talk about our self care journeys and struggles, before and while we are in college. We feel that we all need to start taking better care of ourselves in order to participate fully in our everyday lives. We also recognize that with school, some moments are tougher than others, and that so often taking care of ourselves ends up taking the back seat. However, we think if we work together, we can be of better help to each other.  Feel free to leave us comments, we would love to know what you think and how you each practice self care, especially when life gets in the way.  Feel free to also reach out to us on our favorite social media platform, you guessed it, TWITTER!

At The End Of The Day, The Work Still Gets Done (Making Self Care A Priority)

Our friends, Zola and NK, have joined us for an exciting episode about transitioning from high school to college. This episode touches on culture shock, fitting in, forming new relationships and much much more. Feel free to leave us a comment and remember to subscribe and share this with all of your friends.  NB, The team would like to address the misuse and overlook of the term cisgender. The proper term in this case is cis-het men, men who are cisgender and heterosexual. The use of just “cis” in the podcast implies that the hosts could have been referring to cisgender queer folks as well, which is not the case. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/socialexperiment/message
