Episode three: Who's afraid of pop feminism?
As our Executive Director Zohra Moosa notes, a lot of her job is about trying to get people to become feminists; to practice feminism. But what does it actually mean when everyone starts calling themselves feminists? As she asks: “Am I hugely persuasive, or is this a disaster?” In the third episode of Tea with Mama Cash, hosts Zohra Moosa and Director of Programmes Happy Mwende Kinyili talk global solidarity in relation to the rise of pop feminism. How global is this trend really? And what effects is it having (or not) for feminist activists in different contexts? Do you think that the more people call themselves feminists, the better? Or do you agree with Happy, who says calling yourself a feminist “means you have to do thing in a certain way, you have to make decisions in a certain way, you have to be about fundamentally shifting power”?

Episode 5: Decolonising feminism
What do history books, the gender binary, and the language we use in this podcast have in common? As our Executive Director Zohra Moosa and Director of Programmes Happy Mwende Kinyili explore in this episode of Tea with Mama Cash, colonialism is not limited to the past, but a force that continues to shape our present - even our feminist movements. Tune in for a conversation about why decolonisation is a feminist project, how coloniality plays out within activism, development and aid, and what Mama Cash is doing differently. And don't forget to let us know what you think by leaving a comment, an iTunes review, or reaching out on twitter.com/mamacash!
