About this listen

In this final episode of the season, we talk about emboldening our young Black youth to love their bodies, to be in their bodies. Guest Thokozani Ndaba guides us through her work of maneuvering through the objectification and over-sexualization of Black bodies, and together we learn how she turns that mess into treasure. How can we own our sexuality while also realizing that we live in a dangerous world for Black bodies? Let us start by finding our own voices.

Our Guest Today: Thokozani Ndaba is the founder and executive director of Ntethelelo Foundation in Alexandra, Johannesburg. The trained drama and theater practitioner activist and facilitator uses theater methodologies and techniques to facilitate healing, empowerment and support within vulnerable communities, creating safe spaces that enable dialogues and social change, empower youngsters, and break the chains of abuse, poverty and control. “Ntethelelo” means forgiveness and the core values of Thokozani and her work are about healing, personal growth and self-love and self-respect.
