33 | From A Survival: Periods, Bruises & Purpose| Luthando Madhlopa
In this deeply emotional and powerful episode of I AM NALA, host Aya Chebbi is joined by South African activist, survivor, and advocate Luthando Modise for an unfiltered conversation about survival, healing, and resistance.
Luthando shares her life story with brutal honesty—from experiencing sexual abuse as a young child, facing repeated sexual violence in adolescence and adulthood, to navigating an abusive relationship. But this is not only a story of pain—it is also one of incredible strength, purpose, and leadership.
Together, they explore the intersections of patriarchy, colonial legacies, and systemic violence in South Africa, asking critical questions about justice, healing, and solidarity. Luthando speaks not only as a survivor but as a leader who continues to advocate for women and girls through her work with the Bold Women Network and beyond.
This conversation is an invitation to listen, to witness, and to learn from the courage of a survivor who chooses to keep standing, keep leading, and keep loving.
