Arya Jeipea Karijo on Queer Digital Utopias

Queer people deserve to enjoy the same rights and privileges as everyone else, although we see time and time again their rights being eroded by conservative politicians. In this episode, join Kerubo and Youlendree as they have an open and thoughtful conversation with Arya Jeipea Karijo, a transgender woman and a lesbian who views life through a young, African feminist lens. If you want to understand more about the LGBTQIA+ community and how decolonization of the internet and online spaces influences their wellbeing, this is the ideal episode for you. The availability and accessibility of information online about queer people, especially queer African activists, ancestors and traditions can vary significantly depending on factors like geographical location, cultural context and internet surveillance and censorship.
