Episode Synopsis

Uganda and Africa today are full of paradoxes: millions of young people are unemployed or underemployed, while others are cushioned by family names, networks, inheritance, or access to global opportunities. Globally, Millennials face shrinking opportunities even as the largest wealth transfer in history is underway. Privilege is layered, sometimes it’s money, but it’s also gender, skin color, the school you attended, or the freedom to make life choices without survival anxiety. In today’s episode, we explore privilege at the intersection of wealth, gender, race, and networks, asking: what does it mean, who benefits, and how can we use it responsibly?It's not therapy but it might help.
