On this episode, I have a conversation with Matthew Blaise, an LGBT+ activist living in Lagos, Nigeria. Matthew uses their social media to shed light on life as a young, queer Nigerian and the discrimination LGBT+ Nigerians experience systematically and institutionally. In this conversation, Matthew and I talk about LGBT+ rights and the state of homophobia in Nigeria, LGBT+ activism, queer visibility in the #ENDSARS protests last year and Nigeria’s masculinity complex. 

To find out more about Matthew, follow them on Instagram (@matthew.Blaise) and Twitter (@Blaise_21).
