What is it like being a young human rights defender? 

For our first episode we hear from Stevo from Mathare Social Justice Center, Toure from Mukuru Community Justice Center, and ZamaZama from Kiambiu Justice and Information Network on being young HRD's in Kenya.

What are we Jamming to this week? We’re glad you asked! 

This week we are twisting our waists and bobbing our heads to this absolute African classic, A Luta Continua by Miriam Makeba. A luta continua –Portuguese for the struggle continues was the rallying cry of the FRELIMO movement during Mozambique’s war for independence. Popularized by Miriam Makeba, better known as Mama Africa, a South African singer, songwriter, actress, United Nations goodwill ambassador, and civil rights activist. The song was written for her by her daughter Bongi Makeba following a trip to Mozambique.
