Episode 2: Ketch Up, (basket weaving) with Ms Vee
Bezically (basically) this is a whole basket weaving episode where we throw in everything from drones to aliens - which is our equivalent of from feminism to travel and books in between. Yes, books - we do talk about that too (because our guest is a bonafide bookie). And then about the woman in her different states - just as water exists in solid, liquid and gaseous states. Tell me that is not woven enough and we will add another twist on the hair discussion! See, purely basket weaving. The important thing is to have a basket - at the end of the day.
Just in case you get tangled in the strings along the way, here's is a mapping for easier navigation around this basket:
00:00 - 10:00 intros; all protocol observed; the case of an over 25-year old yung thung
traveling and touring on a half-a-shoestring budget
10:00 - 20:00 Over 25, in this part of Africa, not married. Need we say more?
Is a ring on 'the' finger a weighting factor for the woman?
20:00 - 30:00 the feminist manifesto (or demanifesto). Is feminism a smart vehicle of emasculation or nah? Oh, & why i don't identify as a feminist.
Does male priviledge still exist? - and why are we still talking about this in 2023 anyway?
Why do only a few in skirts cross over to the C-suite? Is the corporate world still largely a man's world?
30:00 - 45:00 Books. Books. More books.
Anybody else been to worlds that don't exist (or do but so far away from home) coz of books? Oz, anybody? I 'been to the Areopagus.
Honestly though, do Zimbos read only books that matter, like Nhaka Yeupenyu - for the Shona exam?
If leaders are readers, are we creating a leadership prowess or crisis by our reading culture?
45:00 - 50:00 Choppers: the hair journey - - gents you can sit this one out; but wait some of y'all got slicker hairdos than the ladies so.....
Is your hair just another accessory or is it a whole story you're carrying on that your head?
It's possible to feel very great and at the same time the photos tell a different story - but who's to judge?
50:00 - 50chakadero: Basket complete! All the weaving done. Now y'all can carry on with whatever it is you were doing before this....
