Afro-Masculinity Podcast

A podcast exploring African masculinities and the complexities of identities within them. Playing strictly African music. 🎧 | Hosted by @Rixpoet

[Afro-Masculinity Podcast @afromen_pod]

The chaos within the African man is castigated by a complex history marred with violence targeted toward him, aimed at disempowering both his senses and his body.

On this 3rd episode we discuss African men's relationship with their bodies. #AfroMasculinity #Masculinity #Violence

What’s a family?
A man & woman? Two moms? One dad? A chosen unit of love?
As hate groups meet in Nairobi this week, we choose inclusion.

Reclaim real family values: love, safety, dignity. #TLC4Rights #UNDayofFamilies @TheLegalCaravan

I sat down with Brian Muchiri Waihenya for a candid conversation on masculinity, disability and sexuality. He shared some valuable insights on the innings and outings of what it’s like to be disabled and sexual, the journey it took to accept himself after the accident.

We’re raising funds for @OmondiOchuka who’s been putting up a great fight. We know he’ll get through this too. He’ll also be sharing part of his story on the upcoming #NothingUnderneath event on April 26th. Please share and spare a few coins. 💛

It’s my birthday week. I’m introducing my first solo event. A storytelling experience about what my sexcapades have taught me about our culture and things I’ve had to question. You have to cum.

[The Spread @thespreadpod]

When consent is an elusive concept in sex matters then there is a huge problem in understanding our bodily autonomy and agency. Sex, sexuality, and gender education are essential in the fight for sexual liberation. Listen up to @afromen_pod 👉🏽https://t.co/K3teHcKdka

As shown in a published book titled “British Colonialism and the Criminalisation of Homosexuality”, many laws that make homosexuality a crime today were imposed during rule by the British Empire. Listen to the podcast here: https://t.co/YltI5sPDxE

Is it true that homosexuality is unAfrican? I have a lot to say about the Christian fundamentalist spite thrown at the #LGBTQ community and I put it all in my podcast here:

That vasectomy thingy raised a lot of questions for many.

As I think about it , I wonder, what is manhood and why is it tied to "reproductive" organs? What does it then mean for those that are impotent and other such questions.

[Kujikubali @kujikubali254]

It's painful how most of us were shamed into transformation and how this has had a devastating effect on our growth as adults.
I hope we find healing especially from the shame that robbed us off our souls.

It’s paramount to note, the majority of abuse against women and girls’ bodies happens in intimate spaces. Mostly at home. In their neighborhoods. With people they trust. #YouthEndFGM

The role of family planning should not be shouldered by women alone. Great efforts @MarieStopesKe .

Rape is the most highly under reported crime in Kenya. It is estimated that only 1 out of 20 women in Kenya will report a rape and only 1 in 6 will seek medical assistance. #EndVAW #EndGBV

In this @afromen_pod podcast episode I am curious to explore the correlation between my early learnings of domestic violence and Female Genital Mutilation. And how #FGM is embedded in culture. Please have a listen and share? #YouthEndFGM

Pleased to announce I've been awarded a grant by @youthhubafrica in partnership with @AYCommission & @GPtoEndFGM for my podcast @afromen_pod to engage young Kenyan men on the role of boys and men in ending Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). #YouthEndFGM

I began masturbating at 15 as an escape from stress as the heavily depressed teenager I was. The church demonised it and I really judged myself for doing it. But I later unlearned the shame of self pleasure; took matters into my own hands. #TreasureYourPleasure @IPPFAR

So I’m back to the studio recording the podcast again. Finally feeling settled to continue. 🎙 Look forward to a new episode coming Monday. #AfroMasculinity
