In this episode, we will discuss the topic of Superwoman Syndrome and its impact on African women. Our guests Evarita Kamau and Grace Kinuthia will share their personal experiences with this phenomenon and how they have managed to cope with its effects on their lives.

We will explore the societal and cultural factors that contribute to Superwoman Syndrome, including parentification and the burden of responsibility that young women and girls often assume in their families.

We will also discuss the impact of this phenomenon in the workplace, where women often feel pressured to take on more than their fair share of responsibilities and downplay their emotions to avoid negative stereotypes.

The importance of setting boundaries and community support in alleviating the burden of responsibility.
