  • A Refreshing Perspective

    Just discovered Africa and love what she says. She challenges her listeners to be authentically who they are. This allows us an alternative to the two untenable, unlivable, extremes being pushed on us by our cultures and institutions - to not be afraid to be who we are, free from fear of being placed in dehumanizing groups, being told who we must be, and being cancelled.
