The Journey To Womanhood
<p>As we step into Women’s Month, we’re unpacking what it really means to be a woman. From the expectations we grew up with to redefining strength, softness, success, and self-worth on our own terms, we’re reflecting on the lessons that have shaped us, while also partnering with Kotex to continue an important conversation around periods and breaking the stigma through the “Say It Out”movement. Because womanhood includes every part of the journey, and no conversation should be off limits. </p><p><br>We also kick off the episode with our Pop Culture Rewind, where we share our thoughts on Tyla’s new album, Nonhle’s viral 947 interview and reflect on this year’s Glamour’s Most Glamorous Awards. </p>

Are Men Female Centered?
<p>This week on Because We Said So, we’re joined by one of South Africa’s biggest hip-hop DJs, 5FM radio host, content creator, and the founder of PHOLA, DJ PH. We unpack one of the internet’s most talked-about conversations: Are men female centered?</p><p>Do men build their lives around attracting women? Does success, status, and money influence dating more than we’d like to admit?</p><p>With DJ PH joining us as our honorary male bwsstie for the episode, we finally get to hear the male perspective on these conversations while sharing our own thoughts too. </p>
