Episode 09: “Plan B, Not Plan A” — A Talk on Emergency Contraceptives with Tuli Kamati

In this episode our host Selma Ndasilohenda Iyambo is joined by medical trainee and reproductive justice advocate Tuli Kamati for an open conversation about what the morning-after pill is, how it works, and why it’s important to separate fact from myths. Recorded live at the #BeFree Youth Campus in Katutura, this episode tackles common misconceptions, from the belief that the pill is an abortion pill to fears about how many times it can be safely taken. Tuli offers clear, accessible explanations about the science behind emergency contraception, when it’s most effective, possible side effects, and the importance of using it as a backup rather than a primary method of birth control.  She also shares practical advice on where to find it in Namibia, what to expect when accessing it, and why following up with a pregnancy test a week later is crucial.This is an episode about empowerment, knowledge, and taking charge of your reproductive health without shame. Whether you’ve had a contraceptive mishap or simply want to be informed, this conversation will equip you with the facts you need.
