Show Notes
Hi Beloveds. We’re back with an episode to share from another show we love. Radio Workshop trains youth across Africa to make radio and podcasts. They provide the tools and teach the skills. Youth bring their creativity, local knowledge, and passion for tackling the issues that matter to them and their communities.
On today’s show...Rihanna was just 19 years old when she was arrested for being trans in Uganda. It was 2014. She spent 9 months in prison - an ordeal that tore a rift between her and her God-fearing mother. In this episode, we hear how her arrest radically changed the course of their lives - and how Rihanna’s mom unexpectedly became a staunch ally. This is the second in our two-part series on LGBTQ rights in Uganda, as the Anti-Homosexuality Act of 2023 turns a year old. This is A Mother’s Letter from Radio Workshop
