Unlearning Strongwoman Podcast

23. I Am Not A Rock - MoAfrika wa Mokgathi

Tolu Agbelusi Season 3 Episode 4

In this episode Tolu Agbelusi speaks with MoAfrika wa Mokgathi, a South African poet, singer, cultural activist, translator, producer and so so much more. She is the authour of poetry collection 'My Tongue is A Rainbow'. In this expisode we explore what it means to redefine strength for yourself and the joy we can have when we allow others to share our load. I particulalry enjoyed MoAfrika speaking about learning and unlearning things and then going back to her mother to say this is how you taught me but there's a better way and seeing the liberation such an exchange brings on an intergenerational level.

Bonus: at the end, Mo shares a poem.
