    #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.

    The Pastor and the Prodigal : How to be Christian today.

    Karl Marx called religion the soul in soulless conditions. It's our expressiom of the almighty... And that expression matters as it either liberates all or causes us to look to the world to come instead of the world we're in The disembodied voice of Allan hosts two old friends who were once church boys, Reverend Captain Gideon and some guy called Joel, to a special debate that has a prodigal and a pastor asking each other what it means to be Christian today Does belief actually make us fail to do what God wants which is to love people and this world and bring justice? Why do we pray about what we ought to be acting on? Does believing in God as symbolic and not literal give anyone true hope? You know.... Light work. 😊 We aren't aiming to fully answer these questions but to rather raise them so you can engage with them We want to hear your answers and questions too. #christianity #Whatthetheory #hegel #Theology
