Activism, matriarchy and a history of Queerness in Ghana w/ Alex Kofi Donkor | S1E7

In this episode, I speak to Alex Kofi Donkor, a photographer, model, campaigner and community builder, and founder of LGBT Rights Ghana. This was a powerful conversation and - whatever your views - is a must-listen for an education on the history of LGBTQ+ people and politics in Ghana. We discuss:

  • Growing up in a matriarchal home
  • Radical rest for activists
  • What Kofi’s utopia looks like 
  • How a Humanist approach informs Kofi’s life and work
  • The history of homosexuality in Ghana 
  • How Ghanaian tradition rejects binaries
  • How Western Christianity has gradually demonised different groups in Ghana (and beyond)
  • How the global Black community can support our LGBTQ+ family
  • The legacy Kofi wants to leave behind
