Each episode of this captivating podcast reveals a symphony of stories, each note resonating with the universal chords of our shared journey. Imagine a canvas where the colours of laughter, tears and triumph merge into a breathtaking masterpiece - a masterpiece painted by you, by me and by every soul who dares to step into the spotlight of vulnerability.
Feel the heartbeat of life pulsing through the spoken word performances that dance like fireflies in the night. Witness the alchemical fusion of comedy and tragedy, where every giggle and sigh becomes a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Immerse yourself in the melodies of interviews that unearth the gems hidden in the chapters of our lives, as shared experiences build bridges across time and space.
But this is no ordinary podcast, it's a place where authenticity is celebrated, where our stories transcend the boundaries of our individuality and come together to form a great mosaic of human connections. As you listen, you'll find your laughter harmonising with someone else's, your tears matching theirs, and your victories echoing the victories of like-minded people.
So put on your headphones and embark on a journey that transcends the boundaries of pure entertainment. Join us, not as passive listeners, but as active participants, as we co-write an ode to the human experience - one that celebrates our scars as much as our triumphs, one that navigates the intricate maze of emotions, and one that ultimately leaves an indelible mark on the tapestry of existence. The Hear My True Story podcast invites you to join us on this daring odyssey where the power of true storytelling is not only celebrated, but praised, embraced and honoured. Tune in and let the magic unfold as you add your voice to a chorus of stories that constantly remind us that our shared stories are the threads that bind us together.

So what exactly is linguistic racism?
It's February and we are celebrating Black History Month. We want to share with you this wonderful episode where we talk about personal stories of learning a new language and how some institutions and systems can use language to discriminate against people of certain races.
In this episode we have a conversation with Edwin Matovu where we share our personal experiences of learning a new language. We have to speak a German language fluently and sometimes we expose ourselves by speaking German with a Ugandan accent. As a result, people like us have fewer chances of being hired, accepted to schools and universities, or considered as tenants. This practice is called linguistic profiling.
So what exactly is linguistic racism?
Linguistic racism occurs when acts of racism are perpetuated against individuals on the basis of their language use.
