About this episode

Wanjiru shares her personal relationship journey with Bett, exploring themes of identity and love.

In this episode, Wanjiru shares the deeply personal story of her relationship with Bett. This love unfolds not as a dramatic coming-of-age queer tale, but as something quieter and more profound: the journey of finding yourself through another person. What begins as an unexpected connection slowly evolves into a relationship that challenges assumptions about identity, belonging, and what love is supposed to look like. With honesty, humour, and tenderness, Wanjiru reflects on the moments that shaped their bond - the beautiful, the complicated, and the transformative.
