Welcome to the very first episode of How We See It — a voice-notes-first podcast where each episode weaves together real-time reflections from themed WhatsApp conversations into a slow, layered conversation about a fast-changing world.
This episode asks the foundational question:
“Wowe ubibona ute?” | How do you see it?
In this thread, we explore the stories, beliefs, and power structures that have shaped how we interpret the world—from religion and war, to language, land, and origin myths.
🌀 Topics we touch:
Is there a difference between religion and spirituality?
What is the influence of global religious leaders like the Pope?
How does Google vs. God reshape how we access truth?
What does Mitochondrial Eve say to the story of Eden and the Bible’s creation timeline?
Are today’s wars just echoes of older ones?
What’s happening in the Sahel region, the Horn of Africa, and Kenya?
Who or what is driving Russia’s military footprint in West Africa?
