In this episode, host Tinatswe Mhaka sits with Dorothy, a queer Zimbabwean woman, to talk about what it means to love deeply in a world that makes no room for that love. Dorothy shares her story of finding intimacy, connection, and care with someone whose family could not accept the relationship because of her sexuality. This conversation explores what it feels like to be loved, but not welcomed. What it means to lose a relationship because of homophobia and family pressure. And how we carry love after it ends — not as something broken, but as something we can still honour and learn from. Together, Tinatswe and Dorothy reflect on grief, longing, survival, and the quiet power of choosing to live openly in the aftermath of loss. Listen and follow us wherever you get your podcasts.
