Our guests, a queer mother originally from Zimbabwe and queer guardian from Uganda, share deeply personal stories of raising children in a society that often questions and criminalizes their existence. From navigating cultural expectations to building affirming homes, this conversation is a celebration of African resilience and queer joy.

Topics we explore:

- What “queer parenting” really means?

- How identity shapes the journey to parenthood

- Talking to kids about queer identity and family structure

- Building community and finding support

- Facing misconceptions and legal hurdles

- Raising children with values rooted in love and authenticity

This episode is for anyone who believes in the power of storytelling to shift narratives. Whether you're queer parent, aspiring to be one, an ally, or simply curious—come witness how African queer families are rewriting the script with love at the centre.
