For the first episode, Folake Rotimi explores the 'weird brain' of an African feminist with special guest Bukky Olayinka. With the fish out of water feeling still very much in place, these ladies try to reason with the formal definition of feminism while tearing apart why and how the backlash against the feminist movement in the African community is gratifying. The tangled concept of 'The female metamorphosis' is introduced and sets the conversation towards a path of self-realization and brutal honesty.

FEMINIST TALK: THE FEMALE METAMORPHOSIS

August 17th, 2020, By Folake Rotimi

In the new age of feminism, morphing into a female power is a metamorphosis that borders the unknown. As millennials, we are told that feminism = strength. In secret we compare ourselves to 'dem feminists' and find ourselves lacking. The independence that blazes in bold letters on the forefront of their banners might make some of us feel less than feminists'. Yet, these thoughts should not hinder us from exploring our feminine power. For there are steps to the top of every mountain and before we become 'dem feminist' there are three stages to the metamorphosis we have to accomplish. 

​

This podcast will detail the first stage of the female metamorphosis and the path to achieving it. The feminists will be informed on how the first stage of the metamorphosis involves the arduous process of a woman's transformation into a butterfly. Furthermore, we will delve into the spectacular process of a 'caterpillar morphing into a butterfly', and learn how we too can build our own cocoon and transform into a butterfly in today's world.

After one gathers the courage to speak, the three fingers pointed often times overshadows the truth. In today's 'me too' movement, women feel the cold disbelieve of not being believed and men feel a forewarning on how they can also be the next man standing at the gallows. 

​

Special Guests will be called to discuss why people feel both sides matter and why both sides shouldn't matter. Ultimately, feminists will get a better understanding on how rape culture continuous to live on.
