Ep.22 Communication in African Homes with Lengwe Bobo

Episode • May 11, 2021 • 48m

As we continue to speak to young African women, I thought it pertinent to talk about how communication plays out in African homes from the perspective of younger people in a household. My guest Lengwe Bobo takes us on a fascinating discussion about Rape Culture, Parenting Stylyes, Youth Exposure and her own personal experience with depression. Even though her mother is a medical doctor she did not know how to help Lengwe.

Lengwe Bobo is a 20 year old speaker, Christian, leader, blogger, advocate, pan-Africanist, pro-female who has (at some point) dabbled in the fine science of Robotics. Born and raised in Zambia, she describes herself as ambitious and tenacious. Apart from the whole changing the world thing she has going on, she is currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in law.

Lengwe is driven by three core beliefs: She can (still) change the world. Being a voice to the voiceless and Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. So she decided to start with the man in the mirror. Her passions span: She is an advocate for Christ, mental health,

education, climate justice, the dismantling of rape culture, equality of the races, truth, accountability-

you name it. Lengwe lives for honest conversations and is a firm believer of starting where you are with what you have. For this reason, my main platform of dissemination is social media. Feel free to reach out to me on any social media platforms
