Description
This week, we're so excited to introduce the women behind the Instagram account 'No White Saviours'. No White Saviours is an advocacy campaign led by a majority female and majority African team of professionals based in Kampala, Uganda. In this episode, host Mungi Ngomane speaks to Alaso Olivia and Kelsey Neilsen about their work that aims to disrupt and deconstruct the traditional power structures between the African continent and the Western world. Hear all about the "White saviour industrial complex," and how White people approach the African continent and its people as if they are heroes swooping in to save the day. Furthermore, Kelsey, a self-described 'White saviour in recovery' explains what recovery means and shares suggestions for how White people can be less 'White saviour' and more co-conspirators and accomplices.
