Let鈥檚 talk about OCD
We hear what it鈥檚 really like to have OCD and how one man鈥檚 tackling the stigma around it.
We鈥檙e talking about OCD in this week鈥檚 episode. It affects two to three per cent of the population and is the lowest-funded mental health condition for research, according to the charity Orchard OCD. De-Graft is joined by Shaun Flores, who reveals what his life is like living with the condition. He noticed a lack of black people speaking about their OCD experiences and is on a mission to change that. Nick Sireau, co-founder and chair of Orchard OCD, also drops in.
And the 2022 World Cup final is nearly upon us! Morocco becoming the first African team to ever reach the semi-final has been celebrated as a big win for Africa and Africans around the world. But, it has also brought up conversations around African identity in the North African country. De-Graft hears from Zainab, who felt conflicted about supporting Morocco, and Hajar Chaffag, a 大象传媒 Africa reporter in Rabat.
