About this listen

 We all love receiving compliments, don't we? In this episode, the ladies discuss the art of giving and receiving compliments. They each provide accounts of what they believe is the history of praise-giving in the context of Africa. They further delve into family structures. Do African homes practice the act of giving compliments; what is that effect on the broader society? They also venture to the nature and intent behind our compliments. They also explore the issue of 'backhanded compliments'; is it a myth or fact? Do you always say 'thank you after someone compliments you, or do you find a way to dismiss the compliment by finding a fault in yourself? Could you tune in and find out what the ladies are thinking about this topic?
