https://www.media24.com/ News24 proudly presents Pride Pulse, a four-part podcast celebrating Pride Month this October. The podcast will fire up critical conversations about the multiple realities lived by the LGBTIQ+ community. The podcast was born from this dire need: to create a space where queer voices can be heard and to provide a moment for listeners-members or allies alike to reflect, analyse and celebrate life in all its queerness. For many queer people, finding a supportive community can be rather difficult. Pride Pulse fills that gap- it is a site for candid discussions of critical issues that make a difference in the lives of LGBTIQ+ individuals. A safe and inclusive space for those who might not have access to a larger community-every listener tuning in will, for the first time, experience queer joy, work out their identity, and share in the collective experiences of others.

It's about the fight for equality, safety and dignity. When we reflect on Pride's historical roots, particularly within South Africa, we see the intersection of race, class and gender, further complicating what it means to be queer in this country. Pride a celebration of identity and a defiant stand against the forces that continue to oppress us. ]]> Society & Culture Wed, 09 Oct 2024 15:00:00 +0200 0 0 Pride Pulse | Ep. 01: Understanding Pride - its history, its significance, and its future 0 0 Iviwe Mzandisi full 27:24 Pride Pulse
