EPISODE 23: Off the Market & On the Move

It's birthday season, Vuyanzi is taking herself off the market again, and Democrats Abroad Kenya just hosted the first-ever Democrats Abroad AGM on the African continent. No big deal. Brendan explains why Nairobi was the right place to do it - and what it means to bring that kind of gathering to this city.

In this episode:

• Opening conversation - birthday shenanigans and Vuyanzi's latest decision to remove herself from romantic circulation, which both hosts agree they've heard before
• Whose America Is It Anyway? - The Democrats Abroad AGM comes to Nairobi: why here, why now, and what DAKE is actually building on the ground
• Lost in Translation - "that's alright" versus "that's okay" and why the distinction matters more than it should; Brendan learns Kenyan poker on the train
• All Joy Matters - Queer Joy: a Black queer panel at the AGM that delivered; Black Joy: dancing, full stop
