Or the “curse twins” in the Antambahoaka tribe of Madagascar, rejected at birth, victims of a tradition that no one fully grasps.

💔 It’s a heartbreaking podcast, difficult to watch with a subject that will appall you. But it is a necessary conversation and an outrageous reality the African continent and community must face and tackle. 👉🏿 Only the African community truly hold the keys for cultural, social and political change by prioritizing and protecting its youth 🚸.
