The Boys Are Not Alright: "Misogyny, Education & the Price of Patriarchy" ft Bill Muriuki
In this heartfelt episode of Sango, we ask: what happens when girls rise… and boys are left behind? We open with a playful but powerful “Is it Misogyny?” game rooted in African realities, then dive into the quiet crisis of boys dropping out of school while women break barriers. This isn’t about blame — it’s about truth. We explore how patriarchy harms everyone, and why real liberation must include boys too. From classrooms to culture, we ask: how do we build a future where no one gets left behind? Gentle, honest, and deeply necessary — this one’s for all of us.
