July was mental health awareness month for Ethnic and racial minorities.
As black African LBQ womxn, we never give importance to mental health and this is because of society’s stigma towards mental health thus this podcast was necessary to share about the importance of mental health awareness and how we can approach it in an African understanding.

A lot of myth and misconception around gender expression, identity and sexual liberation influences LBQ womxn’s ability to make rational decisions about their bodies .the weight of society and institutional expectations make LBQ womxn vulnerable. Yet bodily autonomy is a fundamental human right for all persons.

2020 was a trying year for everyone. COVID-19 outbreak took so much from all of us. We were in constant fear because we had to stay away from friends, walk to work, be laid off work , we lost loved ones to COVID.
We were all on the converge of a mental breakdown. But this universe works in mysterious ways, FARUG was our hope. As we come to the end of the
Ba Lésbica Diaries we want to thank the writers, the readers, our sponsors and most of all our listeners. We hope you enjoyed ,learnt, related and got inspired by these real life experiences of LBQ.

Being a Womxn in a patriarchal society means you work twice as hard , just for being born as a womxn.
Your always blamed, it doesn’t matter if you are a victim or not .society has always looked down on womxn now if you identify as LBQ, society labels you and discriminates you .
Burning rage is all you feel.

Have you ever felt like your in a space of confinement.
Its so hard to move ,so hard to feel anything.
Only sadness and sorrow surrounding you .You ran out of breath and no one can hear you however much you shout .
Left in the tunnel is how you feel, loneliness is all you know.
