On Finding Your Voice As An African Woman (w/ Yar and Amek Barkeui)

On Finding Your Voice As An African Woman (w/ Yar and Amek Barkeui)

In this episode, I had the opportunity to speak with two lovely sisters, Yar and Amek, and we discussed what it means to find your voice as an African woman. In the process, we highlighted so many of our similar experiences as African women even though we are from different parts of the Continent and different ethnic and cultural groups. We talked about why women are pressured into marriage once they get in their 20s and 30s, what it means to be a "good woman", and why we as African women feel that much of our existence is based on living for others and not ourselves and what we are doing to change some of these things for the future generation. Yar also shared why she started her platform, The Women of the Sudans.
