    Religion vs Sexual Health | Her Hour Pro-Life VS Pro-Choice Series

    We are back and this time we touching on a sensitive subject between Religion and the idea of abortion. We also went into the streets to hear the opinions of some Zimbabweans on who would win the battle between Religion and Abortion!  Zimbabwe is a country where the laws do not allow people to freely access abortion as a form of contraceptive, due to our conservative laws which are kept alive because of the nature of our society. Zimbabwean society is a seemingly, very Christian society, and has been known to refer to itself as a Christian nation, therefore the members of society uphold religious beliefs that in many cases remove the right to choice and bodily autonomy. As a result, these ideals trickle into our healthcare and law systems, meaning that people who are being trusted to look out for the best interests of citizens are also the same people who may not believe in a right to choice because of their religious beliefs. There is also the idea that a lot of people do not know what their rights are, or what they have access to because of a lack of information and in many cases, misinformation that is perpetuated by churches, public figures, social media and sometimes even the government owned media. We feel it is important for us to bring to the forefront the various aspects surrounding this topic in a Zimbabwean context while also shedding light on the various products, forms of contraceptives as well as the different platforms that are provided by Women First Digital.   Also available on   https://anchor.fm/herhourzw/episodes/Her-Hour-Podcast-Season-2-Episode-13---The-Influence-Series-with-Chengeto-Brown-evb77b  For any donations or to be a guest, email: incubatorzw@gmail.com or call: +263772844613     Make donations via ecocash to : 0772844613 Maria Chisvo     Sponsored by Women First Digital Safe2Choose   Music: Photoshoot Perfect by Mr Rebel     Venue: Somewhere in Harare   Hosts: Vera Chisvo, Jordan Chanetsa     Guest: Peggie Shangwa (Harare, Zimbabwe)    Videography: DT Productions    Motion Graphics : Pedro Designs

    ' Cartels influence our government' HerHour Podcast S2 Episode 16| Influence Series| Comrade Fatso

    To end of an amazing series, we got one of the biggest influencers who has managed to use the arts to advocate for change. Yes, yours truly, Comrade Fatso, the co-founder of Magamba Network, host of ‘The Week with Comrade Fatso’, artivist, poet, rapper, satirist and trouble maker. We end off the series speaking to Comrade Fatso and looking at influence from the perspective of local government. Whether it be the influence of cartels on government or the influence of a president (Trump) on a group of extremists, influence plays a very crucial role in shaping the politics and the economies of countries around the world. All throughout 2020 there were multiple events that took place that posed the question behind what helped to catalyze the creation of “the influence series”. The question being “Do persons in positions of social influence have the responsibility of being socially responsible and speaking in response to events that may be taking place globally or within their immediate sphere of influence?”. In 2020 we saw the crescendo of the Black Lives Matter movement which snowballed into what seemed like the beginning of a global awakening in terms of political and social activism. This took place at the beginning of a global pandemic where we saw celebrities and influencers speaking about people staying safe, staying home and following the necessary precautions to stay healthy. Although, when it came to the various political and social events that were taking place all over the globe at the same time, there seemed to be a loud silence coming from people who were in positions of influence. During the Black lives matter movement, which took place in the United States, there was the time when everyone was posting black squares and promoting specific hashtags on their social media platforms. This quickly started to become a social and political statement, on a global scale, as to whether or not businesses and people in positions of influence cared enough about racism and the social issues surrounding that to use their platform to speak on it. We watched people in positions of influence being dragged through the mud for their silence and questioned on the front of whether or not they carried the correct values of someone who has been given a platform by the people. To bring it closer to home, here in Zimbabwe we witnessed our very own political and social event around the same time of the creation of the Zimbabwean Lives Matter hashtag. This hashtag quickly became a marker for whether or not people in Zimbabwe stood on the side of “good” or “evil”, or whether they would choose to remain silent. There was a lot of discourse around why some Zimbabweans in positions of influence chose to remain silent, and when they did speak up it might not have been what the people had expected from someone in their position. This all brings us to “The influence series” as we begin to unpack the idea of influence and what that means to different people at different levels of influence.

    'Why Ellen DeGeneres won't get cancelled" HerHour Podcast S2 Episode 14| Influence Series|Will Kae

    Ever wonder why big celebs like Ellen DeGeneres will never get cancelled? Check out our news episode with motivational speaker Willard Kachere .  He is a young Zimbabwean entrepreneur with multiple start-ups under his belt. As a motivational speaker, Willard, better known as Will Kae, truly understands the role of being an influencer. In today’s episode Will Kae shares on how influence is not about the number of followers on our social media handles but the change you can make in someone’s life through your actions and words.    All throughout 2020 there were multiple events that took place that posed the question behind what helped to catalyze the creation of “the influence series”.

    Her Hour Podcast Season 2 Episode 13 - The Influence Series with Chengeto Brown

    Being born in a family of famous parents and siblings is never an easy task. Chengeto Brown is a mental health advocate, female vocalist and song writer who is no stranger to the lime light. In today’s episode we discuss how being born into ‘influence’ may forcibly put pressure on someone to take the path of influence whether you want to or not. Chengeto Brown shares how she found her ‘voice’ and now uses it to influence change through her organisation and music.    All throughout 2020 there were multiple events that took place that posed the question behind what helped to catalyze the creation of “the influence series”. The question being “Do persons in positions of social influence have the responsibility of being socially responsible and speaking in response to events that may be taking place globally or within their immediate sphere of influence?”.

    Her Hour Podcast Season 2 Episode 12 - The Influence Series with Namatai Kwekweza

    Namatai Kwekweza represents everything Her Hour ZW loves; youth, influence, advocacy, female empowerment and basically being a baddass in heels!  From being arrested for activism to founding her own organisation WELEAD in 2017 at the young age of 18, Namatai has proven that age is literally just a number. As an African Union African Governance Architecture Youth Ambassador, Namatai has become one of the most influential young people in Africa. In this episode we explore the understanding of influence from the perspective of an activist. Oftentimes people disregard ‘non celebrities’ because of their seemingly mundane lives and fail to realise their impact on the world as a whole. Today’s episode shines light on the vast difference on the appreciation of influencers who are celebrities and the influencers who are advocates and activists, on the frontlines risking their lives to make a change.    All throughout 2020 there were multiple events that took place that posed the question behind what helped to catalyze the creation of “the influence series”. The question being “Do persons in positions of social influence have the responsibility of being socially responsible and speaking in response to events that may be taking place globally or within their immediate sphere of influence?”.

    Her Hour Podcast Season 2 Episode 11 - The Influence Series with King Kandoro

    King Kandoro is no stranger to using   satire to influence change. From writing and acting in Magamba Network’s ‘The   Week’ with Comrade Fatso, to being the hilarious co-host on ‘Sadza in the   Morning’, King Kandoro has shown young Zimbabweans that influence can be used   to build a culture of appreciation as is seen on ‘Madhorofiya FM’. On a   slightly more serious note (but not so serious note because he kept us   laughing the whole time), we talk to King Kandoro on why some influencers   seem to be ‘uninformed’ or ignorant and why ‘Cancel Culture’ is just a   slippery slope of vindictiveness. All throughout 2020 there were multiple events that took place that posed the question behind what helped to catalyze the creation of “the influence series”. The question being “Do persons in positions of social influence have the responsibility of being socially responsible and speaking in response to events that may be taking place globally or within their immediate sphere of influence?”.
