The Africalypso Podcast

As elections take place around the world, we reflect on the state of politics, the power of our votes, and our place in the democratic process. From the recent Brazilian elections and municipal elections in Canada to the upcoming US midterms and elections in Nigeria and Kenya, we explore what's at stake and why staying politically engaged matters.We also discuss our own journeys from immigrants to citizens with the right to vote, and the importance of understanding the systems that govern us and holding our leaders accountable.Find us @AfricalypsoPod on all socialsWebsite: https://www.africalypsopodcast.com/

That's a wrap... for whatever season this is. On this episode, it was a few days after our very first live show and we looked back on the night (and the season) with a sprint retrospective. We chat about what went well, what surprised us, and what we'd do differently next time. Plus, we end the episode by reading a listener dilemma we didn't get to at the live show.Thank you for being part of this season with us.

On this week's episode, we break down the Aba Women’s Riot Uprising of 1929, from colonial indirect rule to the powerful tactics women used to challenge oppression and connect it to modern movements like #EndSARS. We also spend a lot of the episode talking about “sitting on a man” (don’t worry, it’s not what you think lol)… and by the end, you might just feel inspired to join our movement yourself.Our live show is on May 16th!
