EXCUSE MY ZAMBIAN

I’ve only just listened to the first two podcasts so far, but this is a fantastic source of respectful honesty and wisdom that I have really enjoyed listening to so far. I’m a caucasian man born and raised in the USA, so I can not relate directly on a personal level to things like Zambia’s cultural impacts on the rights and social standing of women (discussed in the second podcast). However, I’m blessed with an amazing Zambian girlfriend who I only just returned from visiting in Lusaka a week ago. Her and I have had many discussions around family and faith, but there are many things discussed here just in the first two podcasts that we really haven’t discussed much. This podcast is very interesting to me as it opens my eyes to the perspective of another wise Christian sister in Zambia speaking to the current events and issues of culture, race, sexism, etc. in Zambia. Many of these issues are evident on a global scale, but they can look different culturally here in the US. I’m looking forward to sharing this with my gf, Abby Bwalya, and discussing her views on these same issues. Thank you for investing in this, Ruth, you are educating me so far in listening and encouraging action and advocacy. God bless you!
