Podcasts about Uganda

Everyone is talking about building a village right now. It's on social media, in parenting forums, in wellness content, in the conversations we have when we're exhausted and lonely and wondering why support feels so hard to find.But how many of us have actually experienced a REAL village? Today's guest, Tom Karrel, has spent a lot of time thinking about it.Tom is the author of The Lost Art of Random Conversations, and he has more than 10,000 hours of group facilitation experience across 45 countries. He also spent years living and working in Uganda, including in rural village communities where the pace, expectations, and social fabric look very different from the way many of us live in the U.S.In this episode, Tom and I talk about what it felt like to enter a 350-person Ugandan village as an outsider, how learning to greet people in the local language became a bridge, and why “going first” is often the only way into connection.We also talk about time, uncertainty, social trust, Ring doorbells, random conversations, Seattle sidewalks, Mexican fishermen, and what it means to put your phone away long enough to notice the person standing in front of you.In this episode you'll hear about:How being visibly different forced Tom to practice vulnerability, humility, and going first over and over againWhat living in a 350-person village taught Tom about presence, schedules, and the way we prioritize tasks vs. peopleWhy the interruptions we avoid might be the exact moments that make life feel more connectedWhat the “Seattle Freeze” has to do with social trust, small risks, and choosing to smile at strangers anywayWhy fumbling through a new language in a Ugandan village is not that different from trying to make friends at a gymResources & LinksCheck out Tom's book, The Lost Art of Random Conversations and learn more about him on his website.Like what you hear?

During her two-decade career, the singer, actor, playwright and two-time NAACP Image Award winner Somi has blended the sounds of American and African music – jazz and R&B, but also Afrobeat, folksong, and highlife. Her last album was a tribute to the South African singer Miriam Makeba; that record also served as a companion to an Off-Broadway musical that Somi wrote – under her full name Somi Kakoma, called Dreaming Zenzile.Now a Harvard PhD recipient (the Creative Practice and Critical Inquiry Program), Somi has a new album of original music called What Does It Take To Bloom. Written and recorded between Dakar, Lagos, Paris and New York City, Somi's latest explores the many facets of self-discovery – questions of becoming and of identity (she is the Midwestern daughter of immigrants from Uganda and Rwanda) – and navigates uncertainly, loss, and change (Somimusic.com).

In this episode of Behind the Genes, we explore Black communities and health research. Our guests discuss why some people feel research is not intended for them, how historical mistrust affects participation, and what needs to change to make research more inclusive, transparent and beneficial for everyone.  Our host, Sharon Jones, is joined by:  Professor Segun Fatumo - Professor and Chair of Genomic Diversity at Queen Mary's Hospital Christella Matoko - Project manager at Genomics England Hazel Attua - member of the Participant Panel at Genomics England We also hear from Mica and Mary, who took part in the Our health, our stories video on YouTube, who share their reflections on why taking part in research matters for Black communities.  As mentioned in the episode, you can also listen to our latest Genomics 101 episode, What is equity in healthcare?, to learn more about what equity means and why it matters in health research and care.  “Engaging in research is bigger than you. It shapes your community, and it shapes the lives of the children coming in the future.”  You can read the transcript below. Sharon Jones: [00:00:00] Hello, and welcome to Behind the Genes, the podcast that brings you the stories, research, and innovations shaping the future of genomic healthcare. Today, we're exploring Black communities and health research. Why do some Black people feel that research isn't intended for them? What role does trust play in participation? Sharon Jones: And what needs to change to improve health outcomes now and in the future? I'm Sharon Jones, and joining me today are Christella Matoko from Genomics England, [00:00:30] Segun Fatumo, Professor and Chair of Genomic Diversity at Queen Mary's Hospital, London, whose work focuses on improving representation and equity in genomic research, and Hazel Attua, who's a member of the Participant Panel at Genomics England. Sharon Jones: A warm welcome to everyone. So before we dive into these topics, let's start first to try and understand how people perceive research and how that can often influence whether they feel it's something for them. So Christella, I'd love to come to you [00:01:00] first. What comes to mind when you hear the words health research? Christella: I think when I'm talking about health research, what comes to mind is the opportunities to understand certain health conditions in different communities, and it's about understanding that we can get better treatments, and these treatments can prevent health inequalities. Although I might look at it from this lens, the whole of the Black community might not. Christella: I have the knowledge of medical care. I work in Genomics England, [00:01:30] so I understand the benefits of, um, health research and how it can improve outcomes within the healthcare. But when you speak about it in terms of the Black community, research doesn't necessarily sit naturally because of all of the historical mistrust that we've, you know, encountered. Sharon Jones: Yeah. Christella: So for me, good healthcare research should ultimately lead to better outcomes for everyone. And I think when I hear [00:02:00] health research, that's like what I like to think about. Sharon Jones: Yeah. Thank you. Thank you for sharing that. And, and Hazel, like coming to you, does that reflect what you've seen or experienced? Sharon Jones: You know, do you feel that research feels relevant to Black communities and why do you think some people may feel hesitant in, in taking part? Hazel: Yeah, I mean, I completely agree with Christella. I think it's difficult for people in the Black community to sometimes trust when research comes out [00:02:30] because previously there's been a lot of mistrust around research because there hasn't always been a lot of research within the Black communities. Hazel: Like when we talk about research, when we talk about, um, for example, with National Genomic Research Library, so when I used to do work with Genomics England- Christella: Mm. Hazel: I specifically was, um, working on the National Genomic Research Library within, um, diverse data. [00:03:00] And so our role was to get more diverse data into the National Genomic Research Library. Hazel: And so for those that don't know what that is, it's like a biobank. And so a biobank is essentially, um, where you help collect samples. So if you've decided to get into research, it's collecting samples, processing samples. So when we decided to do the initiative or when Genomics England decided to do this initiative, I thought it was [00:03:30] amazing because essentially not that much research was done previously for the Black communities. Hazel: And specifically for sickle cell. So to be able to do this, to be able to help understand the background for sickle cell for the Black communities, it's amazing. To be able to get more treatments and interventions, it's great. But like Christella is saying, like, it's interesting to see different people's [00:04:00] perspectives because, again, the trust and the misconceptions around research is different in everybody's eyes because of the, the lack of research that's been done before. Hazel: And so the hesitation around it is like, "Why, why is it only coming about now?" Like, "Why are we doing it now?" But that's the thing about the UK, we're such a diverse population, and it's amazing. So research needs to reflect that. [00:04:30]And so I think hopefully going forward, it actually does do that because we do need treatments and interventions that actually reflect the community. Hazel: Otherwise, we're not gonna get anywhere when it comes to medications, like, health data that actually reflects everyone. Sharon Jones: So we're gonna hear from Mary now, who's a research nurse and midwife, who shares her thoughts on why people [00:05:00] may be hesitant in taking part in research. Mary (Clip): Within the Black community, historically, the lack of participation in research stems from a lack of trust. Historically, I guess the best way to put it is why would I go to a party I've never been invited to? And it's trying to get people to understand that narrative has changed. The lack of trust should never be dismissed. Mary (Clip): It's not a, a myth. It stems from [00:05:30] somewhere. However, there's been so, so, so much change, and I'm hoping that people can see that there are people that really want to make this change for you, for me, for us, for our community. It's so important that, yes, we still hold on to the history of where research is coming from, but we need to paint the picture of the future. Sharon Jones: So Mary's analogy of being invited to a party you've never been to really gets to the heart of that question around trust. So [00:06:00] Segun, I'd love to bring you in at this point. From your experience working to improve representation in genomic research? Sharon Jones: Can you explain to listeners why historically Black communities have felt disconnected to research, and what needs to change to make it feel like it's something for the community rather than something that's being done to the Black community? Segun: So I think we need to get to a point where we acknowledge that there's mistrust. Segun: So some Black community are fed the old, kind of research that is being done on them and not being done with them. You cannot just show up in a community and start asking for their blood sample or asking for their data, and you just do research on them without, uh, proper community [00:07:00] engagement, without getting them involved, without asking them what are the things that are really very, very important, uh, to them. Segun: I think, uh, we researchers and also institution and as well as a nation, UK, where we are taking a lead in global genomics, needs to get to a point where we understand that the trust h-has gone, and, uh, we should not expect the Black community to [00:07:30] give us their trust. Segun: We need to get to a point that where we earn that trust from them, and we're able to do our study on them. So currently in the UK, if you look at some of those, uh, very successful, uh, Black community is really underrepresented. And one of the reason why you hear that is they say that the Black community, they are very hard to reach. Segun: So they're hard to reach because of the same issue. Community engagement has to [00:08:00] be done in a proper way. Yeah, you need to do research in a way that you go to those Black community and don't expect them to come to you. Segun: And we see a lot of that during, uh, during COVID. You see that many, uh, Black community were very hesitant to participate in any vaccine. So we need to get to a point where Black community earn our trust. Sharon Jones: Thank you. Christella, [00:08:30] what do you think about the role that trust plays in deciding whether to participate in research? Sharon Jones: You, you know, given that you've worked on the Generation Study. Christella: I think trust has to be earned, and I think Segun has said it perfectly here in terms of working with the community and coming into the community to understand how the community works. This mistrust that we're talking about is not something of today. Christella: It's something which has been reported on. It's something which we have seen. It's something which has-- it's not a made-up thing. [00:09:00] So when, um, when organisations say Black communities are harder to reach, there is reason for it. That cannot be an excuse not to actually participate with those people in the community to show the difference in which we have made over the years, to understand that we are making changes with the transparency of what we do, you know, creating, um, work which you know where your data is going, because at the end of the day, I'm giving away my [00:09:30] sample. Christella: I want to know who will have access to that sample, where that sample will go. And until we get to a point where we understand that trust has to be earned, it's always gonna be quite difficult if we think Black community are just gonna participate because there's a research available. Sharon Jones: And that's a really fair point. And what do you think, given your sort of experience, what do you think helps build that trust in practice? Christella: I think first of [00:10:00] all, um, not telling and actually going into communities and understanding. So when we talk about the Black community, it's not just a small group of people. Christella: There are Black Caribbeans, there are Black Africans, there are people from different tribes within different countries. So it's not just a, a one-size-fits-all kind of thing here. Yeah. So it's understanding what you're actually trying to achieve, going into places where the Black community [00:10:30] actually congregate, so whether that is church, whether that's community events, whether that's, uh, Black-based events, actually going in and understanding what is it that you would like us to do to show that we are not the research of, you know, the, the early 19th century? Christella: What have we done to show that we are progressing in terms of equality? What have we done in terms of how we're using your data? All those things there, it's not about [00:11:00] things being done to the Black community. It's the, it's the partnership, I think, that needs to be at the forefront of what we do now. Sharon Jones: Yeah. Yeah, and Hazel, coming to you, what do you think enables that participation? Hazel: Again, 100% agree with Chrisella and Segun that it's all about coming to the community and building that trust because it's, it's difficult, and it's about showing up and not just [00:11:30] showing up once. Hazel: It's about consistently showing up and consistently building that trust because it's easy to do a workshop or do an engagement once and tell everyone this is what you're trying to achieve. But if you consistently show everyone who you are, what the research that you're trying to do is, it's not just about telling them about the research, it's understanding who they are before you actually trying to gauge them about the research because, like, [00:12:00] it's breaking down their walls and breaking down their barriers. Hazel: As a Black community, we build up these walls, and I say it as we because we've been let down so many times and- Hazel: like, I say this from my experience, from times where, from the sickle cell community, for example We had treatments that were brought in, so there was, for example, crizanlizumab and [00:12:30] voxelotor that were brought in, and they were approved in, uh, like, 2023, 2024. Hazel: But then in 2024, they were then taken away. So early '24, crizanlizumab was then taken off the shelf. Sharon Jones: Right. Hazel: And then late September, October, voxelotor was then taken off the shelf, and that's very disheartening for patients with sickle cell. And in the Black community, you can see how also people have been let down [00:13:00] again and again Sharon Jones: Yeah. Hazel: in not just healthcare, but in general, like the stigma, the discrimination. And so to come in and just ask people to just get involved in research and then done and dusted- Sharon Jones: Mm-hmm ... Hazel: it's all about treating them as people before asking them to get involved in research. We have to be treated as people before we get involved in anything. Hazel: So it's, I think that's how you get [00:13:30] people to be involved and enable them to get involved in research. Sharon Jones: Yeah. Hazel: It's just treating them as people before anything else. Sharon Jones: And were there any factors for you that, you know, at first you might not have felt comfortable taking part, and what were sort of deciding factors that made you to get involved and participate? Hazel: So for me, coming from, like, a personal point of view, 'cause I was on voxelotor, um, for me It, again, it was very disheartening- Mm-hmm ... um, when it was taken off the shelf, [00:14:00] and it was done very quickly overnight. Sharon Jones: Right. Hazel: And so for me, it's kind of one of those things where it's like, hmm, what do I do? Do I just not trust the system anymore? Sharon Jones: Yeah. Hazel: But then, like the flip side to that is, okay, we've had this drug, and it actually worked for me very well. And the look of that is, okay, so we've had this drug. It was amazing. The potential is we'll get more drugs that will be like this. And so [00:14:30] going into the Diverse Data program and thinking about how we approach people to say, "If you can get involved in this study, the likelihood is we actually might get more drugs, more treatments, more interventions that are going to be as amazing as Voxzelator was." Hazel: Because the likelihood is we've had a drug that was great, and we could actually get more drugs that could be available. Sharon Jones: Yeah. Hazel: But we need research to do it because at the end of the [00:15:00] day, it's research. It's gonna take time, and the results are always gonna shift up and down. So yes, it can be disheartening, but at the end of the day, we've got to keep trying. Hazel: Otherwise, if we don't keep trying, then we're not gonna get anywhere. Sharon Jones: Yeah. Hazel: So I had to ... You have to bite the bullet sometimes, and that's all you can do. So yeah, I think that was what shifted my mindset from not [00:15:30] -from being upset about it to then actually looking at the positives around it. Sharon Jones: Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that is a difficult reframe when something that is working so effectively is suddenly kind of shelved, uh, very quickly like that. Sharon Jones: So changing your mindset couldn't have been, couldn't have been easy. Christella? Christella: When we're talking about what, what, um, Hazel has just said in terms of something was available to everyone and then it wasn't available, and then that goes again to what I say about [00:16:00] transparency. I think if there was more transparency about what was happening with this particular drug in the community, there would be that, that trust that would have, there would be more of an understanding, there would be more of a, like Hazel's taken the, the stance of, "Okay, I will still trust in the research because I believe something better will come along." Christella: It's because of also her knowledge within the research. She's been around- she's been around Genomics England, she's been with people that research has really helped. But those in the [00:16:30] community who haven't, they feel disheartened about this, and this is why I say transpare- transparency about what is happening is so important with our community 'cause we-- so we don't feel like things are just being done to us, we actually understand the reasons behind it. Christella: So for me, there's a few points. It's having people who represent the community actually being clinicians, um, being researchers, you know, leading in these community spaces, the transparency, the [00:17:00] long-term relationship that Hazel was talking about within the community. It's not you come in once and then, you know, you get what you want, and then you leave again. Christella: It's also sharing the findings, and it's also having a trusted message constantly in order for the Black community to actually participate in these research. Sharon Jones: Thank you, Christella. So we've got these themes of, like, consistency around trust, around communication, transparency. So Segun, I wanted to come to you now. Sharon Jones: So why-- if people at [00:17:30] home are still trying to understand why this is important, can you explain to them why representation matters in research, and what happens when communities are not adequately represented in research? What is the impact, and how does that show up? Segun: So representation matters in research because eventually a decision about our health will need to be made, uh, with this. Segun: I give you an example of, uh, a, a drug that we have today, medication we have today that is helping to lower cholesterol. So that medication came to be because some African ancestry individuals were involved in a study. So in that study, they found that those African individual, they have, uh, some genetic variation that is helping them to naturally, uh, lower their cholesterol. Segun: So because they included those African ancestry individuals, so we had, uh, PCSK9 inhibitor where the medication was derived. Now this medication is not only useful for, uh, people of, uh, Black community, but for everybody globally. So helping to lower cholesterol and prevent heart attack. Segun: So we are doing ourself harm if we continue to exclude some people from, uh, from res- from research. Diagnosis is very important. So some tool for [00:19:00] diagnosis might not be appropriate for an ethnic group or, or ancestry or maybe, for example, in this case, a, a Black community. Segun: In a research where we get the right diagnosis, uh, the right treatment, uh, for the right people, for the right community. So we cannot just do, uh, all the research on one particular community, and it posts the finding on another community. So representation is really, really very important, not only among, uh, people that participate in research and also in research leadership. Segun: It is much more easier for Black community, uh, to show interest in research if they see somebody that look like them. So the, the representation has to be at every layer, both the [00:18:42] participant and also at the, at the leadership level. Sharon Jones: Yeah. Segun: I give an example for, for my study, uh, genetic risk score, in most of the study that we've done, we've seen that where you develop a genetic risk score from one population, and you try to, uh, transfer that, uh, genetic risk score to a Black community, they do very poorly. Segun: So we need to include-- We need to be able to get to a point where we involve a Black community adequately in studies so that we can [00:20:30] be able to develop, uh, the right genetic risk score to every, every community. Sharon Jones: Yeah. Segun: So represent-representation is really, is really key. Uh, it's not just about fairness. Segun: It's about the, you know, accuracy. It's about, uh, you know, precision. It's about better healthcare. Sharon Jones: Yeah, and it's like you say, it's sort of holistically, it's from participants, but also for people who are working in research that also aids the sort of uptake in participation if you see people who look like you. Sharon Jones: We're now gonna hear from Mica, who is a mum who took part in a Generation study, and she's gonna talk about why getting involved was so important. Mica (Clip): I think as a Black woman, as a Black person, put yourself forward because the narrative at the moment is there's not enough research, and we're getting all these sort of doom and gloom headlines about, you know, Black maternal outcomes, Black men and prostate cancer, for example. And I feel like if we as a community don't put ourselves out there and make ourselves available for research, that narrative isn't gonna change. Sharon Jones: So, Segun, I'd like to come back to you again. On the flip side of that, how can research organisations better involve Black communities? And are there concerns that we've talked [00:20:38] about today that have, uh, been acknowledged and addressed effectively? Segun: So the first thing is that we need to acknowledge there's a problem. Sharon Jones: Yeah. Segun: And we see the Black people are not really, you know, participating in research because of trust. So how do we overcome that? One major thing is relationship or what I call, uh, community engagement. So community engagement is not community consultation. You know, you want to do research, you just [00:22:30] show up at that time you want to do research. Segun: You know, take people's blood sample and go away. So community engagement starts much more years ahead before... So when you have the right relationship with the community, it's much more easier to be able to do research with them. Segun: So we have to ensure that, uh, people that are doing the research are also well represented. So we have people that, that look similar, people that understand the community, uh, people that live among the community, so it's much more easier to help, help us to boost the trust. So the third one that people don't talk a lot about is benefit. Segun: I've done a lot about recruiting people into research [00:21:43] in, in Africa, and there's a benefit sharing component. What we, what we have done in Uganda is that if you have high blood pressure, we have medication. We refer you to, uh, the clinic that is under our own control. Segun: So we support you with your diabetes, support you with your high blood pressure or whatever thing that you have. If we cannot take care of you, that is where we now refer you to either to a doctor or a general, uh, general hospital. This is [00:25:00] really very important that there's a benefit. And also, uh, recently we've been working with, uh, some, uh, big pharmacy company, and we talk about benefit sharing. Segun: Uh, for example, if we done some study, uh, we find some drug and med-medication, and the, the company had make millions of, of USD. So what come back to the community? So now we talk about, okay, can you now build an hospital here in this, uh, village? So we have to think about an appropriate benefit sharing also for the Black community in the UK. Sharon Jones: Thank you. And I know, Christella, you touched upon some of those similar points that Segun made there. What does meaningful community engagement look like for you? Christella: The benefit sharing is so important because we have to understand there is a problem, first and foremost, okay? And we have to understand the impact of that problem. Christella: We have to bring solutions for that problem, but we also need to show those benefits in these communities that we're actually trying to engage with. And for me, when I'm talking about engagement, I'm really looking at co-designing, you know, not just consulting and telling them what to do, but the real difference is between being able to actually co-design the studies around Black people, so you can understand the nuances within the, the communities. Christella: So understanding how to actually engage with these communities is, is really important And I think it's also being honest about the limitations that we have, that we've seen in the past. Christella: You know? It's not about creating engagement which says you are the knight in shining armour and, and you're here to, you know, put a magic wand and [00:24:00] make everything okay. It's literally being honest about, you know, the preconceptions that people have. You know, what you're trying to achieve in the community, that you're actually trying to benefit the community. Christella: It's important that those who are creating these studies don't go into a room and assume how these communities work. It's really about understanding the experience of Black people and letting them be experts of their own experience, using that to then find ways to better engage with, with communities. Sharon Jones: Thank you. And Hazel, is there anything you would like to add? Hazel: I think Cristella and Segun have hit the nail completely on the head. I think co-design is so important when it comes to engaging with the Black community. And I also think that [00:24:49] when it comes to research, it shouldn't just be about the research. Hazel: It should be about, like, essentially giving back to the community as well. So e- exactly what Segun and Cristella were saying. So if we're talking about we need to do questionnaires or giving samples, the community, whoever is, whoever this research is for, should be able to [00:28:30] see results from this. It shouldn't just be a couple of years down the line they still don't know what is coming from this research. Hazel: Because sometimes we do research and people don't understand what's happened to, to this research, and sometimes that is off-putting to people. Sharon Jones: Thanks, Hazel, and we're gonna hear again from Mica, who captures that idea so powerfully Mica (Clip): The research isn't for the NHS, it isn't for any medical institution, it's not for the government. It's for our community. We're at the heart of that research, and, like, we've got a chance to do something about it, and if you're not gonna put yourself out there, then who else is going to? Sharon Jones: So, Segun, how can we ensure the future of healthcare innovations benefit everybody and they don't deepen health inequalities? Segun: I would say that, so what is the benefit of, uh, innovation, if it does not benefit everyone, particularly people that need it the most? Uh, give an example, maybe Hazel will know a lot about this. Segun: So now we have a sickle cell gene therapy. Of course, a few people have benefited, so this probably costs about, uh, millions of USD for one person. This is a great innovation, but who can benefit from it? It's too expensive. No-nobody's able to afford that. So we need to get a point where, so the so-called innovation can get to the right people, people that actually need it, and it's actually cost-effective. Segun: In my own, uh, domain of work, we're trying to develop a new, uh, gene-genomic test or genetic risk score. So what we have seen from the data that is currently available is that, you know, when you develop this, the score from one particular population, it doesn't transfer to other population. So it-- the genetic testing, uh, is a great innovation, but it doesn't, it doesn't really do well in the, in the Black community. Segun: So I think we should have to think much more at the beginning of innovation, uh, whether who is this innovation being prepared for? Who is going to benefit from this innovation? If innovation is not gonna, uh, benefit people that need it most, it doesn't really make any sense. Sharon Jones: That's a good point. And Christella, you also had an example of what happens when communities are not adequately represented in research. Christella: Yeah. So recently, um, in the NHS, they've started to, um, test for [00:27:45] a specific enzyme, which is, which is found in the Black community, um, for cancer patients going through chemotherapy. Originally, there were four enzyme that they tested for, um, in the genes, and they found that there's actually a fifth one which affects Black people within the community. Christella: And it's so important that this happened because Black patients were having, you know, severe side effects to the chemotherapy, and some patients unfortunately passed away due to this particular enzyme. So understanding that our genes do have variants in it and some, as Segun said, some things which work in one community will not always work, um, in a different community. Christella: So now before anyone undergoes a chemotherapy, the cancer patients across England undergo genetic testing, which can then lead into a change of treatment and reduce adverse, um, side effects for the chemo. Now that the NHS can test for this, it's gonna bring better outcomes to those in the Black community going through chemotherapy. Christella: We all know chemotherapy is hard enough to go through, so making it a little bit better for those in our community that are going through it is so important, and that's why we need to be part of this research, 'cause without us, they won't know what's best for us. Sharon Jones: Thank you for sharing that. And if you'd like to understand more about equity, please listen to our Explainer podcast, What Is Equity? Sharon Jones: So let's hear from Mary with a message she'd like listeners to leave with today. Mary (Clip): Thinking about my experiences, I would love listeners to take away the fact that engaging in research is bigger than you. It shapes your community, and it shapes the lives of the children coming in the future. Black communities, we need to know our baseline. Mary (Clip): We need to know where we are starting. It's bigger than us. My engagement helps the granddaughter I don't have, and that's what I need people to know. Sharon Jones: And given what Mary said, I'd like to ask you all, what message would you [00:29:34] like to leave for listeners who are interested in learning about research? I'll come to Christella first . Christella: I think first of all, we have to acknowledge that the questions and the hesitations within the community are very valid, and we have to understand that this makes sense given the history of research. Christella: But I would love listeners to be left with the knowledge that history shouldn't be the final word of our relationship with research. We ask the hard questions that we need to ask and invite those who need to also benefit from this research. And like Mary said, "I'm helping my grandchild that I don't even have yet." Christella: And I think that's how we need to look at it. It's not so much just about us, but it's the future generation. It's about having better outcomes for each and every one of us, and that includes the Black community. So help shape further research, and medicine will actually benefit us in the future. Sharon Jones: Hazel, what message would you like to leave listeners today? Hazel: I think going into research can sometimes be hard. However, I do think research is incredibly important, [00:31:14] especially for the younger generation. Hazel: So I do think that we should get involved. Sharon Jones: Thank you. And Segun? Segun: Yeah, I would like to, uh, recall what, uh, Christella was saying, uh, particularly saying that for everybody, uh, listening to me right now, if you are invited to participate in the research, please participate, you know. Segun: Ask the right question, "What is the research for?" And, uh, how does it benefit you? Maybe not you directly, maybe your children or maybe your grandchildren. Everyone should remember that, uh, so research is ultimately for the people, for better healthcare. Segun: So our contribution really matter. So you're contributing your sample really matter and can change, uh, somebody's life, can change generation. Every participant has something valuable, which is really key. So I would encourage all the listener to participate in research if you are invited. Segun: Thank you. Sharon Jones: I think that's a very salient point. We'll wrap up there. We've covered a lot today, from trust to participation and what is needed to change to ensure that healthcare is for everyone. A huge thank you to our guests, Christella, Segun, and Hazel, for joining me today as we discussed how Black communities are being served in health research.

Around the world there are people surrounded by crowds who still feel lonely. There are homes where someone quietly wonders whether anybody truly understands. Lord, meet people in Rwanda, France, China, Ireland, Singapore and Uganda. Bring encouragement to those who feel isolated and fellowship to those who long for meaningful Christian community. Let someone who has been praying alone discover that they are part of something much larger than themselves. Jesus, You gathered people around Yourself. You welcomed the overlooked, the searching and the broken. Holy Spirit, create within us the heart to notice others. Help us become people who listen, encourage and make room. Father, where someone has been wounded by relationships, bring healing. Where trust has been broken, give wisdom. Where loneliness has become normal, open a door towards healthy friendship and fellowship. Teach us not merely to ask, “Who will help me?” but also, “Who can I encourage today?” Let our homes, churches and communities become places where people experience something of the welcome of Jesus. God of Israel, strengthen those who feel forgotten. Remind them that they are seen by You. Give courage to take one small step towards connection, whether that means making a phone call, joining a Christian community, sharing a meal or simply telling someone honestly how they are doing. At this midday hour, let hope return through fellowship. Let prayer connect hearts across nations. And let the love of Christ make us people who carry one another gently. In Jesus' name, Amen. Gentle pause before the 6:00 p.m. prayer. Blessing May God surround you with good people, strengthen you through fellowship, and remind you that you are seen, known and loved by Christ.

In this episode of Can Marketing Save the Planet, are joined by Sarah Jordan, Founder and CEO of You Underwear, an ethical underwear business on a mission to change the world because, globally, 1 in 10 girls miss up to 3 months of school every year due to not having underwear during their periods. Sarah's journey began in 2016 when she was volunteering in Uganda and discovered the devastating impact of period poverty. Girls were missing up to a week of school every month, equating to 25% of their education, because they didn't have a pair of underwear. "It's literally the first thing that we put on in the morning, an item that we take for granted, which has an absolutely fundamental impact." Alongside the period poverty aspect, Sarah quickly saw the impacts of the fashion industry and knew she couldn't solve one problem by contributing to another, so Y.O.U Underwear was built on three pillars: 1) organic cotton, 2) Fairtrade certification, and 3) a buy-one-give-one model. "We donate a pair for every pair we sell." The name itself, Y.O.U Underwear, stands for "your own underwear," because Sarah believes everybody deserves exactly that. Transparency is at the heart of everything they do. From naming their factories to sharing their challenges and mistakes, Y.O.U Underwear publishes detailed impact reports and is a certified B Corp. "There is so much greenwashing in the fashion industry. We've tried to counter that and say, this is where we want to get to, these are the steps we're taking, this is where we go backwards, and this is where we're making progress." After launching online in 2018, and then introducing a pop-up in Oxford, Sarah now has a new shop in Brighton, where she's able to offer the connection she experienced at the pop-up, but at scale, letting customers touch the organic cotton, try things on, and feel the difference. The Y.O.U community goes beyond the shops and pop-ups, they have the Positive Pants Club, as well as many road trips and festivals where people are invited to photo shoots, so that photos and campaigns feature real bodies, creating space where people can feel seen, represented, and empowered. "We want everybody to be seen and reflected.” Sarah shares. Sarah's advice to marketers is clear: be honest, connect with your values, and use your skills to amplify the businesses and causes that are making a real difference. "The best marketing, the best advertising, is incredibly inspiring. We need that to support the people that are doing things differently." Tune in as we talk to Sarah about: The fundamental impact a simple pair of pants makes. Why Y.O.U Underwear is built on organic cotton, Fairtrade certification, and a buy-one-give-one model. The power of radical transparency. The shift from online to the high street: how physical shops build trust, community, and real human connection. Sarah's advice to marketers. This is a corker of an episode, packed with wisdom, over-coming challenges, passion and inspiration. Don't miss it - and if you love it, please share it.

Prophecy in the Spotlight with Dan Goodwin Danger in the Last Days: 2 Timothy 3 and Why Self-Love Is the Root of Perilous Times Dan Goodwin and Dr. Charles Hiltibidal open 2 Timothy chapter 3 to argue that the perilous times Paul warned about describe the condition of the church rather than the world, walking through the self-love, compromise, and broken families they see marking Christianity today. Opening: Perilous Times Ahead Dan Goodwin opens Prophecy in the Spotlight alone, telling viewers the broadcast is titled "Danger in the Last Days" and grounding it in 2 Timothy chapter 3. He reads verse 1, "this know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come," and stresses to viewers that Paul is not describing some distant future but conditions Goodwin believes are already here. He explains that "perilous" comes from "peril," meaning danger, and reads ahead to verse 2, where Paul writes that men "shall be lovers of their own selves." Goodwin argues that self-love has become the defining mark of the modern Christian, pointing to how believers now build their lives, beliefs, and priorities entirely around themselves rather than God. He tells viewers that Dr. Charles Hiltibidal is waiting in the studio to dig deeper into the passage, promises the show will not be a lighthearted one, and sends the broadcast to its opening break. Setting the Scene: Christianity, Not the World Back from the break, Dan Goodwin tells viewers the discussion may feel more sober than usual, recalling the show's occasional lighter moments but noting this is "a time of mourning." He and Charles Hiltibidal work through the early verses of 2 Timothy 3 together, and Hiltibidal points to verse 5, "having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof," arguing that the perilous times Paul describes are not a warning about the secular world but about "the condition of Christianity in those last days." Goodwin agrees, noting the world has always lived without Christ while the church was once set apart, with Bible reading, preaching, spiritual leadership, and parental discipline shaping believers' lives. Hiltibidal adds that even young parents in their twenties and thirties now treat church as optional, calling their pastors for advice they would have already heard had they attended the previous Sunday. Both men tie this decline to the "latter times" language of 1 Timothy 4:1 and the last church of Revelation chapter 3, the Laodicean church, which Hiltibidal insists describes Christianity rather than the world. Self-Love, Obsession, and Yielded Members Dan Goodwin returns to the phrase "lovers of their own selves," calling it the key statement of the passage and arguing that every trait Paul lists afterward flows out of that self-love. Charles Hiltibidal agrees, describing the list as character traits of someone who has let his "old man" become spiritualized while still living as before. The two address a common claim that a Christian cannot be influenced by demonic forces, with Hiltibidal clarifying that a believer cannot be possessed, since the Holy Spirit seals the inner man, but can still be "obsessed" through outside influence. Goodwin cites Paul's teaching, likely from Romans, that believers become servants to whatever they yield their members, whether eyes, hands, or thoughts, to. He argues Christians can yield themselves to demonic influence even while remaining saved. Hiltibidal broadens the point to responsibility, saying pastors, Sunday school teachers, deacons, and fathers must guard their households because scripture and preaching have been "watered down" to avoid confronting sin, with churches increasingly excusing compromise as simply belonging to "the Laodicean era." Natural Affection, Abortion, and Broken Walls The conversation turns to the phrase "without natural affection," and Goodwin asks why a woman would want to end her baby's life, answering that it requires the same self-love the passage describes. Hiltibidal points to a man running for the Senate in Texas who identifies as a preacher yet says abortion is acceptable, calling it proof that perilous times have reached Christian leadership itself. Goodwin then raises the old "doctrine of separation," illustrating it with the image of a wall meant to keep children, and especially sons, from wandering off like the prodigal son, and both men lament that courtship and chaperones, common in earlier generations, have largely disappeared because fathers will not enforce boundaries. Hiltibidal shares a personal memory from his pastorate in Dallas, recalling a respected evangelist who fell into adultery, lost his church and family, and wept at his desk confessing he believed God's blessing on his ministry meant the affair would be fine, an example Hiltibidal calls a clear picture of self overruling what a man already knows is true. Money, Debt, and Seducing Spirits Hiltibidal ties the list's word "covetous" to Paul's closing words in 1 Timothy 6:10, that the love of money is a root of evil that has caused some to err from the faith, and warns that Christian leaders today take advantage of their position for personal gain. Goodwin adds that many preachers avoid confronting certain sins because they fear offending the large donors who keep their churches running, and Hiltibidal suggests some leaders have built such debt through buildings and the appearance of success that they cannot risk losing that income. The men then return to 1 Timothy 4:1, where "the Spirit speaketh expressly" that in the latter times some will depart from the faith by giving heed to "seducing spirits" and doctrines of devils. Hiltibidal blames a lack of personal devotion, guessing that the vast majority of preachers, deacons, and Sunday school teachers never open their Bibles or spend quiet time with God before starting their day, leaving them vulnerable to whatever consumes their attention instead, a habit he says shapes much of what is wrong with Christianity today. Boasting, Pride, and a Call to Repent Working through the rest of Paul's list, Hiltibidal describes "boasters" as those who claim accomplishments and knowledge they do not truly have, and "proud" as those who consider themselves superior because of a larger congregation or following. He calls "blasphemous" not blasphemy against God directly but leaders who promote practices, which he says are unbiblical, while claiming spiritual authority, and ties "disobedient to parents" to fathers who refuse to set standards for their children's dress and conduct, warning that many preachers have lost their families by living one way in the pulpit and another at home. On "unthankful," Hiltibidal contrasts self-centered American believers with joyful Christians he has met in Uganda who own almost nothing, and a miserable millionaire he has also visited. He defines "unholy" as living by the old sinful nature while claiming spiritual justification. Goodwin closes by summarizing that self-love drives every trait on the list, urging viewers to be certain of their salvation and to walk with God, before signing off telling them to keep their eyes on the skies.

The morning may have gone well, or it may have brought difficulties we never expected. Yet Your Word reminds us that You know the plans You have for Your people, plans marked by hope and a future. Lord, meet people in Rwanda, France, Ireland, Singapore and Uganda. Speak hope to those who are discouraged about their future, worried about their family, uncertain about work, or wondering whether their circumstances will ever change. Let them know that uncertainty is not the same as abandonment. Jesus, You are our hope. We do not place our confidence in a perfect set of circumstances; we place it in the One who walks with us through imperfect circumstances. Holy Spirit, breathe fresh hope into anyone who feels that their future has become smaller than their dreams. Father, where disappointment has settled in the heart, bring fresh perspective. Where waiting has become painful, give patience. Where someone feels forgotten, remind them that they are seen. Where fear is speaking about tomorrow, let Your promises speak more deeply. God of Israel, lead us through this day with wisdom. Help us to be faithful with what is in our hands today without becoming consumed by what we cannot yet see. Let hope become more than a word. Let it become a quiet confidence that You are still God, Jesus is still Lord, and our lives remain within Your care. So at this midday hour, we release the future into Your hands. Give us grace for today and courage for tomorrow when it arrives. Let the hope of Christ rise again within us, steady and alive. In Jesus' name, Amen. Gentle pause before the 6:00 p.m. prayer.

As heavy fighting resumes between a coalition of armed opposition forces and Ethiopia's federal government, the country's army commander has accused Sudan and Eritrea of backing the rebel groups. Sudan has denied the claimes and described them as baseless. In Tigray, where a deadly war ended in 2022, the regional state broadcaster, Tigray TV went off air on Sunday. Privately-owned news outlet Zara Media Network reported that the station was hit by a drone strike by the federal military. And a new king is set to be crowned in Uganda's Tooro Kingdom on Tuesday, following the death of King Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV.

What if some of the most painful parts of your story became the very places God used to shape the way you lead? Zahara McCoy was born in Uganda and lost her mother during the AIDS epidemic when she was just ten years old. Without a parent to advocate for her, her future became incredibly uncertain. But through sponsorship, Zahara was connected with Marianne McCoy in California, a relationship that eventually led to adoption, education and an entirely different future. Years later, Zahara returned to Uganda and encountered children facing circumstances painfully similar to those she had once experienced herself. It became a pivotal moment in her story: she was no longer the child needing someone to step in for her; God was now giving her the opportunity to step in for someone else. Today, Zahara leads Children of Grace, the organisation her adoptive mother began, supporting vulnerable children in Uganda through education, mentorship and holistic care. In this conversation, we talk about Zahara's journey from Uganda to America, faith, identity, advocacy and how our lived experiences can profoundly shape the leaders we become.   A Leadership Truth to Take Into Your Week One of the things that stayed with me after this conversation was Zahara's statement: “Identity precedes performance.” Leadership isn't only shaped in boardrooms, qualifications or positions of authority. Sometimes God uses the very experiences we would never have chosen to develop our compassion, perspective, courage and ability to advocate for others. So perhaps the question to take into this week is: What has God allowed me to walk through that could now help me lead and serve someone else well?   Connect with Zahara You can connect with Zahara and follow her work on social media: Instagram: @zaharamccoy X: @zahara_mccoy Children of Grace https://www.childrenofgrace.com/ Sponsor a child https://childrenofgrace.donorshops.com/sponsorship

You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead, they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven (Matthew 5:14-16). Our workplaces and other spaces we inhabit need Christians who understand that their presence matters. Christianity does not always produce the transformation we would expect. Some lights are too dim. It is relatively easy to do the right thing when everyone else is doing the right thing. It is easy to practice integrity in a culture of integrity. It is easy to pursue justice when justice is already valued. It is easy to refuse corruption when corruption isn't an option. But what happens when we are surrounded by dishonesty, bribery, exploitation, injustice, or unethical practices? That is when our light becomes particularly visible. It is easy to be light in a room of light, but to be light in a room of darkness is more difficult. Then we get noticed. Then we are unique. Then we may not be wanted, for our light exposes the darkness of others. God calls us to bear the fruit of His Kingdom in every season. Even during drought. Even when injustice appears to be winning. Even when corruption seems normal. We are called to bear the light of justice when injustice surrounds us. We are called to hold the light of integrity when dishonesty is profitable. We are called to extend the fruit of generosity when everyone else is pursuing more. We are called to uphold the fruit of excellence when mediocrity has become acceptable. We are called to carry the fruit of truth when lies are easier. That is what it means to be light. Sarah is a small business owner in Uganda. When she came to understand this teaching of the light she changed. She says, "I began keeping proper records, organizing my shop, and serving every customer with genuine attention and respect. My work became a daily offering to the Lord, bringing me renewed joy and purpose. I make sure my measurements are accurate and my prices are fair. I refuse to sell expired products or mislead customers. When a supplier accidentally delivered an extra sack of flour, I contacted them and returned it. My honesty opened an opportunity for me to explain that I run my business for God's glory—not merely for profit. "Before, my work was just work and my faith was for Sunday. Now every bag I lift, every coin I count, and every person who walks through my door is an opportunity to worship and to witness." To shine the light of Jesus must become our vision. Ask yourself: What do I want my life to be? Do I want to influence the environment around me? Does my integrity, excellence, treatment of others, leadership, and decision-making point people toward Jesus? Is there any wrong thing I accept because everyone is doing it? Where have I allowed "normal" to replace "right"? Change begins by asking God for help. As you journey on, go with his blessing: Wherever God takes you today, may He fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit and that you may live carefully—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity.

We may have received difficult news, faced an unexpected problem, or simply carried too much in our minds. Your Word tells us not to be anxious about anything, but to bring everything to You in prayer. So we stop and breathe before You. Lord, bring peace to people in Rwanda, France, China, Ireland, Singapore and Uganda. Meet those searching for relief from anxiety, those who are worried about family, finances, health, work or the future. Let them know that prayer is not an escape from real life; it is a way of bringing real life into the presence of God. Jesus, receive the burdens we have been carrying. We do not need to hide our fear from You. We can tell You exactly what is troubling us and trust You with what we cannot control.

Counter terrorism police in Britain are investigating a major incident near a Royal Air Force base that's used by the United States as a forward operating location - including to launch strikes on Iran. Five men have been arrested on explosives and terror charges. We ask why the base might be a target. Also on the programme: who's really in charge in Uganda after the head of the armed forces tells a minister he can't leave the country? and is panda diplomacy effective at selling China's image abroad?

Send us your feedback — we're listeningJames 1:5 — If Any of You Lacks Wisdom, Ask God: A Midday Prayer for Guidance and Clear Direction Themes: Wisdom · Guidance · Direction Scripture James 1:5 — Ask God for Wisdom “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault.”  — James 1:5, NIV Spoken Prayer Father, at the centre of this day we stop for a moment and admit something simple: we do not always know what to do next. There are decisions that need making, conversations that need wisdom, and situations where every option seems to carry uncertainty. Your Word gives us permission to ask. So today, we ask You. Give wisdom to people in Rwanda, France, China, Ireland, Singapore and Uganda. Give clarity to those making important decisions, patience to those waiting for answers, and discernment to those who are unsure which direction to take. Where fear is making a decision for someone, let Your peace create space to think clearly. Jesus, You are not impatient with our questions. You welcomed people who came searching, doubting, hurting and confused. So we bring our uncertainty honestly. We do not need to pretend that we have everything worked out. We simply need to know where to place our trust. Holy Spirit, illuminate what matters. Close the doors that should not be opened and give courage where a faithful step is needed. Help us distinguish between pressure and conviction, between anxiety and wisdom, between what we want immediately and what will truly serve the purpose of God. Father, give us wisdom for our families, our finances, our work, our relationships and our responsibilities. Teach us to listen before speaking and to pray before deciding. When the answer is not immediate, give us patience. When the path becomes clear, give us courage to walk it. We place the unknown before You now. We surrender the need to know everything at once. You see the beginning, the middle and the end, while we see only today. So lead us, Lord. Give us wisdom generously, guard our hearts from fear, and keep us close to Jesus. Let this midday become a quiet turning point, where confusion gives way to trust and the next step becomes clear enough to take. In Jesus' name, Amen. Gentle pause before the 6:00 p.m. prayer. Blessing May God give you wisdom when decisions are difficult, clarity when the way seems uncertain, and courage to take the next step with Jesus.

Mit Pfr. Clemes Bombeck, Buchautor Pfarrer Clemens Bohmbeck berichtet von seinen jahrzehntelangen Erfahrungen in Uganda, von der Verehrung der Märtyrer, lebendigen Gottesdiensten und einem Glauben, der selbstverständlich zum Alltag gehört. Er erzählt von persönlichen Begegnungen, von der großen Zahl junger Priesteramtskandidaten – und davon, warum die Kirche in Afrika heute auch der Kirche in Europa etwas geben kann.

In his weekly clinical update, Daniel Griffin and Vincent Racaniello frustration continues over the increasing number of measles infections, Kennedy's undermining of vaccines, perpetuation of autism- vaccine, autism-tylenol myths, an outbreak of hepatitis A virus in the US, the Ebola outbreak in Uganda, changes in reporting of virus infection and vaccine recommendations, Legionnaires disease and screw worm cases, and before Dr. Griffin deep dives into recent statistics RSV, influenza, SARS-CoV-2 infections, economics of a measles outbreak in Chicago, what defines reactogenicity of the mRNA COVID vaccines, the on-going delay by HHS of COVID shots for children, neuropsychiatric symptoms of long COVID and contacting your federal government representative to stop the assault on science and biomedical research.

Welcome to Shabbat Unbound, the world's longest Friday night Sabbath service, stretching over eight episodes. Instead of rushing through all the Friday night Shabbat prayers in one sitting, like we might in a classical synagogue environment, we're taking our time diving deep into one prayer each episode through song study and sacred conversation. It's the most original and traditional way to engage in the transition into Shabbat, taking each prayer as its own world with its own Torah to teach us. Miriam Terlinchamp, Lex Rofeberg and an incredible group of musicians invite you to discover what happens when Shabbat slows down. The fourth episode focuses on Lecha Dodi.[1] Source for writing Lecha Dodi. Rabbi Chaim Vital (1543-1620), student of Arizal (Rabbi Isaac Luria, 1534-1572), writes in his Pri Etz Chaim (Sha'ar Shabbat) the Arizal's precise procedure for Kabbalat Shabbat:He would go out into the fields and first recite Psalm 29 (‘Mizmor l'David'). Then he would say bo'i kallah three times, followed by Psalm 92 (‘Mizmor Shir l'Yom haShabbat'). That was it! The Arizal would then return home, and had another set of rituals around the meal table. One of these was to recite the words Zachor v'shamor b'dibbur echad ne'emru, to recall the mitzvah of Shabbat in the Ten Commandments. Recall that in the first passage of the Ten Commandments in the Book of Exodus, God says zachor et yom haShabbat, to “commemorate” the Sabbath day, while in the second passage of the Ten Commandments in the Book of Deuteronomy, Moses recorded it as shamor et yom haShabbat, to “safeguard” the Sabbath day. Our Sages explained that God had said both words simultaneously—the people heard zachor v'shamor b'dibbur echad, to “commemorate” and “safeguard” in a single utterance.[2] Miriam mentions bridal imagery in Lecha Dodi and Sabbath practices in general. Here is a sweet article about mystic love by Sara Crispe in her www.myjewishlearning.com essay, “Love Lessons from Lecha Dodi.” [3] Love this rendition of Lecha Dodi? Great! Check out Batya Levine's other recordings and compositions on her website www.batyalevine.com. Batya's newest album “Yivarechecha” focuses on blessings and is a downright magical compilation of gorgeous and resonant music. [4] If you want to listen to some of the other nearly 1,000 tunes for Lecha Dodi, we have a few special one's highlighted on our website at: www.judaismunbound.com/shabbat5785. There's one set to “All of me” by John Legend, another by “The Jews of Uganda”, a Bretzlover chasidic tune, and more! [5] Want to watch the music video of our version of Lecha Dodi? Great you can find it here.

Tulijifunza jambo hili kwa gharama kubwa sana ya kibinadamu na kiuchumi.” • Tukielekea Afrika, Hama hama ya watu kutokana na mapigano mashariki mwa Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia ya Congo, DRC, inmelilazimu Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Uhamiaji, IOM, kuongeza ufuatiliaji wa Ebola katika mipaka, vituo vya wakimbizi na njia za usafiri. Hadi Septemba 21, zaidi ya watu 7,700 walikuwa wamethibitishwa kuwa na Ebola, huku 3,700 wakifariki. • Na nchini Yemen takriban watoto milioni 2.2 wenye umri wa chini ya miaka 5 wanakumbwa na utapiamlo kila uchao hawajui pa kula wala pa kulala kwa mujibu wa Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Kuhudumia Watoto UNICEF likisistiza kuwa usalama ndio kipaumbele ili watoto hao waweze kuishi kama Watoto. Akizungumza Geneva Uswisi kwa njia ya video kutoka Aden, Yemen Mwakilishi wa UNICEF nchini humo, Akhil Iyer, amesema “Tunashuhudia ongezeko la utapiamlo mkali mtoto 1 kati ya 4 anautapiamlo mkali na Watoto 200 wako katika hali mbaya sana ya unyafuzi.” Mwenyeji wako ni Leah Mushi, karibu!

"This Gay Week: Progress and Panic, All in 7 Days" It's This Gay Week on The Karel Cast — and this week proves LGBTQ rights are moving in every direction at once, sometimes in the same breath. Turkey just arrested 241 people in an anti-trans sweep so severe that human rights groups are now demanding the EU freeze its accession bid entirely. Indonesia has officially classified "LGBTQ culture" as a national security threat, grouped alongside terrorism. Colombia just quit the world's largest LGBTQ rights coalition mid-term. And in the Netherlands — long seen as Europe's most tolerant nation — acceptance among teenage boys has nearly been cut in half in just four years, a number even the country's own gay Prime Minister calls "shocking." Closer to home, Southlake, Texas quietly killed a Pride festival's permit with zero explanation, one year after approving the same event. And outside a Liverpool LGBT bar, a stabbing has three men hospitalized — police haven't confirmed a motive, but Karel asks the question anyway. But it's not all bad news: Hungary, freed from 16 years of Viktor Orbán, is actively repealing his anti-LGBTQ "promotion" laws — proof governments can turn around faster than people expect. And Anthony Fauci is being honored for a legacy that started in the trenches of the AIDS crisis, alongside Pennsylvania's first openly transgender mayor. Karel connects the dots on what's really a week-long lesson: legal progress, social acceptance, and institutional protection don't move together — and sometimes they move in opposite directions in the same seven days.

Research on how to collect more tax in developing countries has focused on how information, especially administrative data, can help. But in Uganda for example, buyers and sellers report different amounts for the same VAT transaction in 79% of cases. The invoices exist ... but nobody in the tax administration is comparing them.In this week's VoxDev Talk Anders Jensen (Harvard Kennedy School) and Jonathan Weigel (UC Berkeley) argue that information needs an administration that is able to use it. They have examined the research evidence on how tax authorities are organised, who they hire, where they send their staff, and how much freedom those officials get. To maximise revenues they find that many of Max Weber's century-old rules for how to run a bureaucracy still apply, but others often need to bend a little. The research behind this episode:Jensen, Anders, and Jonathan L.

His research spans the rise of modern tax systems, informality and consumption taxes, and how governments with limited capacity can improve tax administration and enforcement. He works with governments in Ghana, Zambia, Liberia and Brazil.Jonathan Weigel is Assistant Professor of Business and Public Policy at the Haas School of Business, University of California, Berkeley, and a Faculty Research Fellow at the National Bureau of Economic Research. His research spans state capacity, taxation, corruption, and the links between religion and institutions. His fieldwork is based mainly in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where he runs the research organisation ODEKA.Research cited in this episodeNo taxation without information. Dina Pomeranz's study of Chile's value-added tax showed how the paper trail between firms helps to enforce the tax; each firm has a reason to demand an invoice from its supplier, and the tax authority can use those invoices to detect evasion. Pomeranz, Dina. 2015. "No Taxation without Information: Deterrence and Self-Enforcement in the Value Added Tax." American Economic Review 105 (8): 2539-2569.Third-party reporting in Denmark. Henrik Kleven and co-authors ran a randomised tax audit experiment in Denmark. Evasion was close to zero on income that employers and banks report to the tax authority, and substantial on income that taxpayers report themselves. Kleven, Henrik Jacobsen, Martin B. Knudsen, Claus Thustrup Kreiner, Soren Pedersen, and Emmanuel Saez. 2011. "Unwilling or Unable to Cheat? Evidence from a Tax Audit Experiment in Denmark." Econometrica 79 (3): 651-692.Missing transactions in Uganda. The 79% figure comes from VAT reports in Uganda, where sellers and buyers declare different amounts for the same transactions. The gap suggests that the tax authority does not systematically cross-check the reports, or that firms act as if it does not. Almunia, Miguel, Jonas Hjort, Justine Knebelmann, and Lin Tian. 2024. "Strategic or Confused Firms? Evidence from 'Missing' Transactions in Uganda." Review of Economics and Statistics 106 (1): 256-265.The US tax gap. Even a high-capacity administration struggles without third-party data. For tax years 2014 to 2016, the Internal Revenue Service estimated that 55% of income subject to little or no information reporting, such as sole proprietor income, was misreported, compared with 1% of wages and salaries. Internal Revenue Service. 2022. Tax Gap Estimates for Tax Years 2014-2016. Publication 5364. Washington, DC: IRS."In developing countries, tax administration is tax policy." The paper's epigraph comes from Milka Casanegra de Jantscher, who co-edited an IMF volume on tax administration with Richard Bird. The line sums up an older policy consensus that building the tax authority matters more than setting the right rates. Bird, Richard M., and Milka Casanegra de Jantscher, eds. 1992. Improving Tax Administration in Developing Countries. Washington, DC: International Monetary Fund.Weber's ideal bureaucracy. Max Weber described a "rational" bureaucracy with a single chain of command, specialised departments, recruitment by examination, promotion by seniority and decisions governed by rules rather than discretion. Jensen and Weigel use his categories to organise the evidence, and show how developing countries adapt them to local conditions. Weber, Max. 1978 (first published 1921). Economy and Society: An Outline of Interpretive Sociology. Berkeley: University of California Press.The sinews of power. The phrase comes from John Brewer's history of the British state, which credits a professional, specialised Excise Office with raising the revenue that paid for Britain's 18th-century wars. Brewer, John. 1990. The Sinews of Power: War, Money, and the English State, 1688-1783. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press.Medium taxpayer offices in Indonesia. Indonesia created dedicated offices for medium-sized corporate taxpayers, which sharply cut the number of taxpayers per auditor. Revenue from the firms in these offices rose by 64% in the short term and by 128% after six years. Basri, M. Chatib, Mayara Felix, Rema Hanna, and Benjamin A. Olken. 2021. "Tax Administration vs. Tax Rates: Evidence from Corporate Taxation in Indonesia." American Economic Review 111 (12): 3827-3871.Transfer mispricing and the arm's length principle. Multinationals can shift profits by setting the prices of transactions between their own subsidiaries. Tax authorities test these prices against the arm's length principle, which asks what unrelated firms would have charged each other. Staff in large taxpayer offices must learn to apply it; staff who deal with small firms never need to.The Pendleton Act. The US Civil Service Reform Act of 1883 introduced competitive examinations for federal jobs, to limit patronage appointments. Abhay Aneja and Guo Xu find that the reform improved public sector performance. Aneja, Abhay, and Guo Xu. 2024. "Strengthening State Capacity: Civil Service Reform and Public Sector Performance during the Gilded Age." American Economic Review 114 (8): 2352-2387.City chiefs as tax collectors. In Kananga, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, neighbourhoods were randomly assigned to property tax collection by state agents or by local city chiefs. Chiefs raised revenue by more than 40%, mainly because they knew which households were more willing to pay. Balan, Pablo, Augustin Bergeron, Gabriel Tourek, and Jonathan L. Weigel. 2022. "Local Elites as State Capacity: How City Chiefs Use Local Information to Increase Tax Compliance in the Democratic Republic of the Congo." American Economic Review 112 (3): 762-797.Assigning tax collectors. The same tax campaign randomly assigned collectors to teams and to neighbourhoods. Simulations suggest that pairing the best collectors together, and sending them to the neighbourhoods with the highest revenue potential, would raise compliance by 37% compared with random assignment.

American Economic Review.Discretion, technology and bribes. In Ghana, property tax collectors equipped with tablets and digital maps spent less time finding properties and more time deciding whom to revisit; collections rose by 103% relative to the control group. In Tajikistan, electronic filing removed face-to-face contact with inspectors, and firms at high risk of evasion paid more tax, probably because they could no longer bribe the inspector.

American Economic Journal: Economic Policy 14 (1): 341-372.Public goods and tax compliance. Several studies test whether a government can persuade citizens to pay more tax by providing public goods first. In Acayucan, a small city in Mexico, randomised street paving raised property tax compliance. Programmes in Mexico City, Pakistan and Freetown, Sierra Leone, found small or mixed effects.

How do you get into investment banking in London with no finance background, no connections and no spring week conversion? Praneel grew up in Uganda with no exposure to finance. In this episode he breaks down the numbers that got him an off-cycle M&A offer at a London boutique — 15 cold emails a day for two months, 60+ calls — why Point72 cut him in the final round, and the one question he now asks every interviewer.

Send us Fan MailAfter nearly 25 years as Prime Minister of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Dr. Ralph Gonsalves joins us for a candid and wide-ranging conversation about losing power, accepting the will of the electorate and adjusting to his new role as Leader of the Opposition.He reveals why he removed every personal possession—even his toothbrush—from the Prime Minister's residence before each election and explains the philosophy behind his declaration: “My brain is not defeated. My spirit is not defeated.”We explore his Trinidadian roots, relationship with Kamla Persad-Bissessar, lifelong friendship with Patrick Manning and what he believes contributed to his government's electoral defeat. He also reflects on growing up without electricity or pipe-borne water, earning his PhD at 27, living in Uganda under Idi Amin and being accused of serving Cuban and Soviet interests.Gonsalves speaks frankly about Donald Trump, American foreign policy, Venezuela, Cuba, Caribbean sovereignty and why the region must never simply “roll over and play dead.”Plus, he shares the remarkable story behind helping Vybz Kartel receive medical treatment in St. Vincent—and explains why he considers himself the real “World Boss.”Is his political career finally coming to an end?

Ein paar Rappen Einsatz, ein Monatslohn als möglicher Gewinn: Sportwetten boomen in Afrika. Gerade für viele junge Männer mit unsicherem Einkommen ist die Verlockung gross. Gleichzeitig wächst ein Markt, mit dem Regulierung und Aufsicht kaum Schritt halten. FC Zürich, Servette, Young Boys: In der ugandischen Hauptstadt Kampala kennt man sich erstaunlich gut mit Schweizer Fussball aus. Nicht nur aus sportlichem Interesse. Auf europäische Spiele wird längst intensiv gewettet – im Wettbüro, vor allem aber via Smartphone-App. Arsenal, Barcelona, PSG - längst geht es dabei nicht mehr nur darum, wer gewinnt: Getippt wird auf Tore, Karten, Eckbälle oder darauf, was in den nächsten zehn Minuten passiert. Kleine Einsätze, schnelle Entscheidungen, laufend neue Wettmöglichkeiten. «International» ist in Uganda und Ghana unterwegs und trifft junge Männer, für die Sportwetten längst zum Alltag gehören. Sie erzählen von Gewinnen, aber auch davon, wie schnell Wetten selbst zum finanziellen Problem werden kann.

Welcome to Season 2 of Not by Sight: Faith in the Valley!If you're new here - welcome! Since it's been a few years since my last episode, I want to re-introduce myself. In 2020, I felt God calling me to start a podcast - a place where He was asking me to “proclaim what the Lord has done” (Psalm 118:17b), and where others could proclaim what He has done in their lives, too. That verse became my starting point because it was the scripture that carried me as my shield and refuge while I fought cancer for a second time in 2015. (You can hear my full story in Season 1, Episode 1.This theme of walking by faith and not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7) runs throughout the lives of people in the Bible, and it runs through our lives too. Most of us have at least one story where we've had to exercise faith in the middle of crisis, with no idea how things would turn out. It's in those places that faith becomes real - or where we walk away from it altogether.This podcast is about pressing into Jesus in the middle of uncertainty. You'll hear stories from people who chose to trust the Lord when life threw them a curveball, when hope was all they had left. It's choosing faith in the valley.On this episode, I sit down again with one of my spiritual heroes, Andrea Kaiser. She and her husband, Daniel, are missionaries in Jinja, Uganda, where their mission is to restore families through the power of the gospel. Andrea was orphaned at 14, after surviving the car crash that killed her parents and older sister. (If you haven't heard her story yet, go back to Season 1, Episode 13 - it's powerful.) God is using her surrendered, compassionate heart to reach others in the slums of Jinja and beyond.To support Andrea's organization visit:https://riversofjoyafrica.org

Send us Fan MailThat's Nas. "Black Zombie."He wasn't talking about horror movies. He was talking about us.Walking talking dead. Breathing, but on autopilot. Alive, but not living. Bodies moving through days somebody else designed. And that middle line — "though we think we're living" — is the dangerous part. We think we're alive. We think we're free. We mistake movement for direction.Then the second line lands harder. We just copy-cat, following the system. Not building. Not questioning. Copying. Following a system we didn't write and don't control.But that same song has another line. And this one is the cure."Envisioning ownership, yo it can happen. What do we own? Not enough land, not enough homes. Not enough banks to give my brother a loan. What do we own? The skin on our backs — we rent and we ask for reparations, then they hit us with tax."Listen to what Nas does there. The first line is hope. Ownership can happen. The vision isn't fantasy. Then he runs the honest inventory. What do we own? Not enough land. Not enough homes. Not enough banks to give each other a loan. We don't even own the skin on our backs — we rent it, we ask for it back, and when restitution finally comes, they tax it.One song. Two truths. The condition and the possibility. We're walking dead because we follow a system we don't own. And the only cure for following is owning.RBT is at three hundred episodes. Most people would use that number to look backward. I'm not going to do that.Three hundred episodes of examining politics, religion, race, economics and culture comes down to one question. What have we actually learned about how power works?Three hundred episodes represents persistence. But persistence by itself isn't power. The question after all this time is sharper than the one we started with. We've watched Black faces take positions of authority. We've watched representation arrive. We've watched access open up. And the underlying conditions haven't moved the way they were supposed to. Something about that equation doesn't add up. This episode is about what does.So here is the lesson. Power is not a Black face in a position of authority. It is not the right to complain. It is not being represented in somebody else's institution. It is not being allowed to participate.Power is having meaningful control over the circumstances that shape your life.And control, at its most concrete, is ownership. That's what Nas was pointing at. You can't control what you don't own. So you follow. And following is how you end up as the walking dead.That idea runs through everything this week. George Jackson defines liberation as controlling the conditions of your daily life. Economic withdrawal asks whether Black people can control where our money goes. Trump's five thousand dollar promise asks why a government benefit should depend on keeping one party in power. A deputy's conduct in a North Carolina courthouse asks whether the badge outranks the truth. A missionary in Uganda asks when help becomes control. And Taylor Townsend shows what it looks like when an institution judges you but doesn't get to define you.The question in all episodes is the same. Who has power, over whom, and what lets them keep it.Intro: Quote of the Week: George Jackson Unmasking the News: Democracy Watch: The Five-Thousand-Dollar Dividend Policing: When the Badge Changes the Equation The Missionary and the Monkey Good News: Don't Call it a Comeback Strategies for Black Power: The Power to Withhold: Economic Withdrawal as Black Strategy Reflections and Call to Action:Closing/Outro: Power Concedes Nothing without a Demand...

It's Friday, September 18th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Ugandan Muslim father tried to burn Christian daughters alive At around midnight on September 6, Amina and Shamila, two newly converted Christian sisters, were inside their home in Kasese District in the country of Uganda, Africa when their house was set on fire, reports International Christian Concern. The arsonist was their Muslim father, Muhamud. He had doused the house with gas, then set it alight while the girls slept inside. He had told them he would act to fulfill Islamic law since they had rejected Islam when they recently converted to Christianity on August 26. The girls awoke to the smell of gas and the sight of flames surrounding them. Amina said, “We saw flames of fire consuming our house. We now started looking for Plan B to escape death.”  The girls barely escaped in time.  Shamila added, “We knew that our lives were in danger. We removed the bricks and escaped through the hole. Thank God that He gave us a way to get out alive.”   The girls survived the fire which destroyed almost everything they owned. Amina said, “We are happy to say that the fire consumed our shelter, but did not consume our faith and hope in Jesus Christ.” Indeed, 1 Peter 1:3 says, “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In His great mercy, He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead." In your prayers today, thank God for protecting Amina and Shamila, these Ugandan sisters who recently trusted Christ.  Pray for their father to be held accountable and that he, too, would come to Christ. Muslims represent only 14% of the Ugandan population. Rising gas/food prices are "killing" Trump and Republicans Appearing on Fox News, Brit Hume, their Chief Political Analyst, explained to Bret Baier that the November 3rd election is not looking good for President Donald Trump and the Republican Party. HUME: “The Fed is concerned about the same thing that our polling today, that came out today, suggests the American public is concerned about. That's the issue that helped elect Donald Trump. And I'm talking about inflation right now. “Question has been raised: Has the Trump administration made the economy better or worse? Fully 63% say it's made it worse, and that is 11 points higher, 11 percentage points higher than the number of people who thought that last year. That is not a number that the president can be very content with, and if you look at what people are saying about what is a major problem for their family: 62% said grocery prices, 61% said gasoline prices. Those are both things that are up. “The president was elected in the hope, I believe, that inflation could be brought under control, and to some extent on many products it has. But when it comes to gasoline, a reflection of the Iran war, and groceries, which have continued to go up, the problem is worse. “And it's certainly plaguing the president and driving down his approval rating. When a president's approval rating is down, particularly in a midterm election, it is very hard on his party.” House ensures data centers cover their own energy costs On September 16, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a measure put forward by Republicans that would provide a federal blueprint to ensure that data centers pay for their use of local energy grids, reports The Epoch Times. It was adopted in a 417–3 vote. The legislation would impose new requirements on artificial intelligence data centers.  Typically, they draw huge amounts of electricity from local power grids, straining supplies and leading to utility bill shocks for households across the nation. Estimates indicate that data centers use about 4 percent of the U.S. electric grid. According to Electric Choice, the energy used to power these facilities, which draw roughly 176 terawatts of electricity per year, could otherwise be used to power 16 million homes. Hollywood refused to honor Chuck Norris at Emmys Hollywood is facing a Texas-sized backlash after television legend Chuck Norris was conspicuously left out of the Emmy Awards' televised “In Memoriam” tribute, reports Christian talk show host Todd Starnes. Norris, the conservative Christian action star who became a television icon playing Cordell Walker on CBS's “Walker, Texas Ranger,” died in March at the age of 86. Yet his name and image were nowhere to be found during Monday night's tribute. Breitbart's John Nolte suggested that politics may have been behind the snub, calling Norris a “conservative TV icon” and arguing the omission amounted to blacklisting. Academy chairman Cris Abrego said before the broadcast that an unusually large number of prominent television figures had died and it was “not feasible” to include everyone in the televised segment. But for Norris fans, leaving out the man who dominated Saturday-night television for nearly a decade was one roundhouse kick too many. Single mothers are getting older Single moms are getting older. According to the Institute for Family Studies,  “Births to unmarried mothers are stereotypically thought of as occurring to young women. This is still true — but increasingly less so. In recent years, the age profile of unmarried mothers has changed due to shifting birth rates. Birth rates to young, unmarried women are declining, while birth rates to unmarried women over 35 are increasing. “The birth rate to unmarried women, ages 15 to 44, declined by 19% in the decade between 2014 and 2024. “Meanwhile, the unmarried birth rate for women over 35 is increasing — by 15% between 2014 and 2024. “At the same time, the unmarried birth rate for women over 40 increased by 40%. Notably, 2024 was the first year where the birth rate to unmarried women ages 40-44 was higher than the birth rate to unmarried teens.” Court upholds Indiana's ban on ‘horrific' ‘trans' surgeries for kids Last Friday, a federal court sided with Indiana in upholding a state law prohibiting ‘horrific' ‘trans' surgeries from being conducted on children, reports the Federalist. Indiana Republican Attorney General Todd Rokita said, “We have won this critical fight against radicals who would otherwise impose this horrific practice on our kids for ideological and financial reasons. My office will keep standing between our children and those who would sacrifice their health, innocence, and well-being on the altar of woke gender ideology.'” Head of Texas Libertarian Party is a polygamist And finally, you probably have never heard of Andrew Amelang, the Chairman of the Texas Libertarian Party. He is also a proud polygamist, reports The Daily Citizen. Worse yet, he also holds a key leadership position in an organization called Biblical Families. The website claims that “plural marriage” is Biblical. Full stop. Any Christian worth his salt knows well that the presence of a particular act, like polygamy, rape or incest in the Bible, does not mean that God endorses it. By no means!  The Bible holds up a mirror to the sinfulness of man and thus his need for a Savior. Genesis 2:24 could not be more clear. "Therefore, shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.”  The verse does not say he will cleave unto his multiple wives.

Michael Brady says he has perfect clients and he means it.Frank sits down with Michael, founder of Generosity Wealth Management, to unpack how his career took a hard turn away from traditional financial planning. Michael shares the story of a longtime client, one of the first AIDS doctors in Boulder, who retired and went on to train doctors in Uganda, a moment that pushed Michael to eventually take two years off with his wife to travel and volunteer before starting his own firm in 2008.Michael shares how upfront he was with prospective clients from day one about exactly what kind of advisor he is, so the people who are not a fit filter themselves out naturally, a dynamic Frank names himself, calling it positive friction. Frank pushes him to explain what having perfect clients actually looks like in practice and Michael walks through how deeply charity is woven into his firm, from inviting clients onto nonprofit boards alongside him to requiring every advisor at Generosity Wealth Management to serve on a board of their own.The conversation covers how this approach builds real trust and referrals, not just goodwill and why Michael believes purpose driven practices attract clients who stay for decades.Questions answered in this episode include:What does it mean for a financial advisor to have perfect clients?How do you build a financial advisory practice around philanthropy?What is positive friction and how does it help attract the right clients?How can financial advisors get their clients involved in charitable boards?Why does Generosity Wealth Management require advisors to serve on a nonprofit board?How do you know if a charity or nonprofit is legitimate before getting involved?What does it look like to build a business centered on purpose instead of just revenue?

In this episode of the Evangelism Podcast, I interview Apostle Ben Okello, an apostle, a pastor and an evangelist from Homa Bay. This city is one of the poorest cities in Kenya with the highest rate of HIV AIDS but now the Gospel had brought significant transformation. 26 years ago, Ben started his church with five people and has since grown his congregation to thousands. He has planted churches, and conducted crusades across the Lake Victoria region, including Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, and Burundi. Today we talk about how the Gospel is more powerful than witchcraft.

After seizing power in a 1971 coup, Ugandan military commander Idi Amin promised a return to democracy — but he delivered a brutal dictatorship. Known for his erratic and sadistic behaviour, Amin's reign was defined by ethnic purges, forced expulsions and total economic collapse. We continue our four-part series, How to Defeat Authoritarianism, exploring the legacy of Idi Amin and the conflation of personality with totalitarian politics.
