  1. Kuwa baba: Changamoto na Baraka

    19 NOV

    Kuwa baba: Changamoto na Baraka

    Sadick Ali ni mchekeshaji, muigizaji, mfanyabiashara... na zaidi ya yote—ni baba. Sasa, kama wanaume wengi duniani, wazo la kuwa baba kwa mara ya kwanza lilimjia kama mshangao wa mitihani ya darasa la saba: hauko tayari, lakini unajidanganya kuwa utaweza! Na kama ulivyotegemea, Sadick alijikuta akikabiliana na mchanganyiko wa hisia—uoga, shauku, na sintofahamu isiyokuwa na GPS. Lakini kubwa zaidi, aligundua ukweli mchungu: hata uki-google kila kitu, hakuna njia ya kujiandaa kikamilifu kwa "daddy duties." Na ukifikiri unajua, mtoto wako atakutengenezea changamoto mpya—au diapers zitakutengenezea! Karibu katika Men Men Men The Podcast, ambapo Michael, Sadick, na Nadia wanazama kwa kina (na kwa vicheko) kwenye changamoto na baraka za kuwa baba kwa mara ya kwanza. Hii ni safari inayochanganya furaha, machungu, na maswali kama: “Mbona mtoto hajalala bado?”

    Nafsi Yangu Ina Amani

    Nafsi Yangu Ina Amani Katika dunia ambayo inashangalia ukamilifu wa mwanaume, dunia ambayo bado haiko tayari kuzungumzia kwa kina juu ya afya ya akili ya mwanaume, dunia ambayo mwanaume anayepitia changamoto za afya ya akili bado anatengwa na kuonekana mtu asiyefaa kushirikishwa na jamii yake, Sunday Kapesi anapambana kubadilisha hayo. Toka safari yake ya kuondokewa na baba yake mzazi, kuanza kuingia kwenye matumizi ya madawa ya kulevya na kupata urahibu, kuweza kumuangalia mama yake na ndugu zake usoni na kukiri kwamba anahitaji msaada, na kuamua kwenda “rehab” ili aweze kupambana na urahibu huo, Sunday haachi simulizi yeyote kwenye mazungumzo haya. Kama baba, kama mtoto, kama kaka, na kama mtu ambaye ana ndoto za kuisaidia na kuiokoa jamii yake, Sunday anaongea na sisi ni namna gani ni rahisi mno kwa mtu yeyote, hususani mwanaume kuingia kwenye urahibu, lakini pia anatutia moyo kwamba kila tatizo bado linauwezo wa kutatuliwa. Ilimchukua muda kiasi gani kwa Sunday kupambania afya yake ya akili mpaka kufikia hatua ya kuweza kupata “amani kwenye nafsi yake”?  Sikiliza kiundani mazungumzo haya ili na wewe uweze kufahamu kwamba haijalishi unapitia magumu kiasi gani, siku zote kuna suluhisho la unayopitia, na linaweza kuwa suluhisho bora ambalo litajenga zaidi afya yako ya akili na kukufanya uwe bora zaidi ya jana. Pambana kuipa nafsi yako amani
