Connecting people and shared realities through stories from global perspectives

Where stories blur lines

Love can be borderless, but power never is. In this episode of Borderscapes catch Carolina and Sergio, a Spanish Colombian couple as they move through the interplay of colonial legacies and everyday love. Who holds power, who gets exoticized, and who does the dishes?

From heated debates about colonialism to small negotiations about wet bathroom floors, it's all political if you look closely. Tune in to this episode which is part history lesson, part relationship therapy and the right amount of awkward.

Is it possible to be both a feminist and a Christian? The one thing that comes to my mind when I think of Christianity is the patriarchy a.k.a. the antithesis of feminism. From how Eve doomed mankind in the tale of Adam and Eve, to the perpetuation of gender roles, Christianity has brought with it rigid and harmful depictions of women. Can my mind be changed?

In this episode, I'm joined by Blessing, a self-declared feminist and Christian. I will be asking her about her religious and feminist beliefs and experiences to determine if one can truly be both. Swinging from moments of light-hearted chatter to earnest discussions, this episode dissects the stereotypes and borders that divide the two identities.
