Episode notes
Full-time everything. Part time human. A prelude, with Yolanda Ngwenya.
In this prelude to PART-TIME HUMAN, we sit with Yolanda Ngwenya — Creative Director of Bakhar, a member of the Fashion Council of Zimbabwe and cultural thinker to trace the making of the self we show the world. We talk about public identity. Expectation. The quiet burden of becoming everything for everyone. The strange reversal of raising the parents who once raised you. And the brick walls that force us to soften.
This not an episode. It is the threshold.
A glimpse into the conversations that follow : where performance ends, and the human begins.
