Times are changing for LGBT Africans.
In Angola, being in a same-sex relationship is no longer a crime, thanks to a new law that has just come into force.
And yet, well-rooted prejudices mean that life for the LGBT community there won’t change overnight.
For long, LGBT Africans have struggled to come together and have their voices heard.
But social media has finally provided them with a space to do so.
In the first of two special episodes, we hear from Kevin Mwachiro, a journalist and queer activist in Kenya.
