| 13 Mar 2022 | S03E04 | It's Layered: Delve Deeper Into... Comparison Culture! | 00:43:49 | |
To be an African child is to know that - in your community's eye - you will never measure up. There will always be that auntie or uncle, mom or dad, cousin or distant relative who feels the need to point out how you fall short compared to your counterparts. In this episode, we delve into the hard knock life of never living up to expectations and being compared to anyone and everyone, no matter how well you think you are doing. Can you relate?

| 22 Jan 2023 | S04 BONUS | It's Layered | Delve Deeper Into... Gemma Griffiths: A Girl From Harare | 00:32:21 | |
Gemma Griffiths is an Afro-fusion, award-winning star, proudly hailing from Harare, Zimbabwe. In this episode, we got to sit down with this multifaceted artist on what it means to be 'A Girl From Harare', as per the title of her latest album. We also speak to her about her love for Zimbabwe; what driving across Africa to make her album was like; how she acknowledges her privilege of being white whilst navigating predominantly black spaces; the curation of the Live version of her album; her backstory and what lies ahead for her. Keep Up With Gemma Instagram: @gemmamusic_ Twitter: @gemmamusic_ Facebook: Gemma Griffiths Zim Watch ‘A Girl From Harare’ The Live Album Recorded at the National Gallery here. Watch ‘A Girl From Harare’ | The Documentary here. About Gemma Gemma Griffiths, a household name in Zimbabwe with 4 x ZIMA’s (Zimbabwe Music Award) under her belt, she also counts another two awards from Star FM and a string of nominations for the prestigious MAMA’s (MTV Africa) and Afrimma Awards. Gemma grew up in Zimbabwe and continued her education in the USA, on a trumpet scholarship. She then moved to Cape Town to begin her career and shared the stage with some of South Africa’s finest, like - Freshly Ground, Goodluck, Majozi, and Matthew Mole. A personal career highlight was sharing the stage with the late great Dr Oliver Mtukudzi at Artscape Theatre. It was Gemma’s love of Zim-Dancehall, that inspired a rendition of ‘Musarova Bigman’, a track by her favourite artist – Winky D also a Godfather of the scene. Gemma’s version showcased her distinctive vocals accompanied by the piano, singing in both English and Shona. Thanks to social media, her version gained notoriety across Zimbabwe, catapulting her into the dancehall space as an artist as well as putting her directly in front of the man himself…and in 2019, her life changed forever. By 2020, Gemma independently released her debut EP ‘Pamwe’ via The Orchard. The second instalment, ‘A Girl From Harare’, was released in February 2022 alongside a mini documentary of the same name. Gemma’s joint first love with travel is playing live and this has seen her take her brand across the continent and beyond. 2022 unveiled a nationwide tour of 11 shows across Zimbabwe, with an artist community of friends such as Nutty O, DJ Tamuka, rapper Holy Ten and DJ King Her. She also toured Dubai and Australia alongside Sungura legend, Alick Macheso. Whilst Gemma is regarded a national treasure to many, she continues to carve out an international trajectory with music – carrying her beloved home country with her. She says, “I owe so much of my journey to Zimbabwean music culture and to Zim dancehall. I’m grateful for my upbringing, for my parents and my country, as before anything else, I am a Zimbabwean.”. We'd love to hear from you!

| 05 Feb 2023 | S04E07 | It's Layered | Delve Deeper Into... Black Tax (Recorded in Hamburg)! | 00:43:47 | |
"Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu" | Zulu Proverb “The central tenet of the so-called ubuntu philosophy, umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu, literally translates to "a person is a person through persons."” Jennifer L. Beight Given the communal and interconnectedness that this African proverb highlights, it is no surprise that this connectedness seeps into financial areas. With the economic and financial disparities that Africans face, the need to support one another becomes even more prevalent. In this episode, we delve deeper into ‘black tax’, defined by Investec as “A term for financial support that a professional or entrepreneur of colour is obliged to provide to their family on a continuous basis outside of their own living expenses. Sometimes it is taken on subconsciously, as a kind of payback for sacrifices made by previous generations or family members.” How do you feel about black tax? Is generational wealth a myth for historically oppressed communities? How do you manage expectations with reality?

“It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men." | Frederick Douglass Motherhood is a hood not all get to permanently reside in, but all have to pass through on their journey to adulthood. In this episode, we speak with Skhoe, a mother of over 21 years who has been mothering her two children in the diaspora. From Thailand to Swaziland, Washington D.C. to Switzerland. We try to glean from Skhoe the many lessons she has learnt on her motherhood journey; discuss the questions one has when parenting or thinking of parenting; and take a moment to reflect on what success as a parent looks like. As African women in the diaspora, we recognise that the community and support typical of raising children in Zimbabwe is not afforded to us as easily, whilst also recognising that parenting needs to be done a little differently in order to survive. What are some of your lessons from mothering or being mothered? Keep up with Skhoe Instagram: @skhoemaphosa Twitter: @skhoe1 We'd love to hear from you!

Marriage. Some get it. Some don’t. Some will. Some won’t. The topic of marriage is a never ending discussion that seems to be ever complex with no single answer.

We seek to understand the male perspective on marriage and proceed to explore the many questions that aren’t always brought up at kitchen teas and bachelor parties. From cultural pressures to Jeff Bezos, is marriage losing its original hold on society? Why do we continue to get married? What are the implications of choosing marriage? What are the hardest and best parts of the institution? Delve deeper into this and more. Keep up with Kudzai Kanyangarara Instagram: @kudzaik LinkedIn: Kudzai Kanyangarara We'd love to hear from you!

“Healthy boundaries are important, but you may be building a brick wall when a picket fence would do.” – Amy Dickinson Boundaries are all the rage in wellness speak. What exactly are they? What does it mean to ‘set boundaries’? Ummm, we’re African - how on earth do we set boundaries as black folks within a society that completely disregards personal space and autonomy? Personal boundaries can be defined as “the limits and rules we set for ourselves within relationships. A person with healthy boundaries can say “no” to others when they want to, but they are also comfortable opening themselves up to intimacy and close relationships.” | Therapist Aid, UHS Berkley We delve into all of this and more. How we are personally trying to set boundaries and the struggle that comes with it. We also talk about healthy boundaries and how we can allow those we trust and who honour us within our personal space. Help us out and let us know some of the ways you practise healthy boundaries.

| 07 Jan 2024 | S05E07 | It's Layered | Delve Deeper Into.. Allyship | 00:56:19 | |
Allyship is defined by the Cambridge Dictionary as “the quality or practice of helping or supporting other people who are part of a group that is treated badly or unfairly, although you are not yourself a member of this group. One of the most important ways to practise allyship is just to listen. Allyship means using your power, position, or privilege to uplift others.” It is also an acronym for Action, Listening, Learning and Yielding (A.L.L.Y.). From #BlackLivesMatter, #StopAsianHate, #LGTBQIA+rights to the #warinGaza and the #warinUkraine, there have been numerous global incidents over the last few years that have garnered attention and highlighted the need for allies. In this episode, we discuss allyship, what it is, the challenges of it, why it is necessary, how to properly inform oneself and encourage participation in some causes. We also delve into allyship on the ground level as Zimbabweans, dissecting patriarchy and how men can be allies against it. This is truly a layered topic which evokes a myriad of emotions and questions. How can you be an ally? What should you read to be properly informed when seeking to be an ally? What is the best way to be an ally? Delve deeper with us into allyship and how complex yet necessary it is.
