    Death in Dubai and The Commodification of Black Women

    In this episode, Khaddija and Lola discuss two recent instances of African women being lured into questionable and dangerous situations under pretenses. Some of which have turned deadly. Unfortunately, these situations are not new, and are not unknown to us or many living on the continent. The increased use of social media to attract young and vulnerable populations has now exacerbated the dangers of a long-standing and often ignored issue.  South African women warned about viral Russian job videos - August 25, 2025, Mayeni Jones, BBC News in Johannesburg  South African influencer Cyan Boujee apologises over viral Russian job videos - August 27, 2025, Khanyisile Ngcobo, BBC News in Johannesburg  Boss of degrading sex-trade ring in Dubai's glamour districts unmasked by BBC - September 14, 2025, Runako Celina, BBC Eye Investigations Documentary Death in Dubai: #DubaiPortaPotty - BBC Africa Eye Documentary - September 14, 2025, BBC News Africa

    Let's Talk...Unaccompanied Children & Youth

    In this episode, we focus on unaccompanied children and youth migrants. We know that the challenges faced by migrants are numerous. Those challenges and vulnerability are heightened for children and youth on the move due to their age.  Young migrants have reported severe challenges, such as lack of food, poor shelter, health issues, theft, lost or stolen documents, and deprivation of liberty.  Tune in as we bring further attention to the plight of these young people and the continued complexities of global migration.  To all the unaccompanied, separated, missing, and unaccounted-for children and young migrants out there, you are not forgotten.
