    #ppj We Don't Talk About Failure Enough

    Honorable members We greet you all. As you all know we like to share from our lives and for the most part... We share the best of ourselves. We tell stories about challenges only after we've overcome them... In a sense, we cruise past our failures and head to lessons.. In the episode today we try to sit with failure... Define what it means for us, what it looks like and how we frame it the grand narratives of our lives. Most especially tackling the question... Can a person a human being be a failure or just fail in some endeavours? As always we'd love to hear from you... How do you deal with failure? Do you think we don't talk about it enough? Like share and subscribe as it helps the channel a lot..

    #ppj | The Easy Way Out?

    Fresh from our discussion on access, this week Primah hosts the pod and has us talking.... "Shortcuts". Everyone one loves a good short cut home or life hack to get something faster in this world obsessed with speed and efficiency... However there's a contradiction at play, we also shame people for taking the easy way out - avoiding a tough conversation, leaning on a relationship or network of relationships to land a job or opportunity.  Today we try to unpack how we make this judgments and ask ourselves if there's anything wrong with taking the easy way out... Or if sometimes, the long difficult way is the point of the taking the trip. Let us know your thoughts, leave a comment, and kindly also tell us where you are watching us from. We'd like to give our global audience a shout out

    #ppj Intersectionality | Going Beyond a single story

    Hey folks... Question.. How do your multiple identities—like gender, tribe, or ability—shape your access to healthcare and education? In today's episode, the guys dive into intersectionality—the concept that our overlapping identities define our lived experiences. Hosts Pumla, Primah, Joel, and Allan discuss how recognizing this in Uganda's context is crucial for building equitable policies in SRHR and other essential services from education, to employment and even social acceptance. We ask: How have your own identities affected your access to services? This episode is Sponsored by The SRHR Alliance Uganda, a consortium ensuring vulnerable young people can access friendly SRHR services and claim their rights freely, without violence.
