The latest episode of Queens & Kings Talk is creating a buzz online. Hosted by Edwin Shilo, Esther Natukunda, and Kalaala Geraldine, and powered by The Men at Work Records crew led by Mwanja Enock Naidoh a.k.a Keith Enock and Brivian Bryan, the podcast takes on a heavy but timely topic: If you don’t develop your country, and keep dreaming another country is the answer—this is what happens.
The trio breaks it down in a way that stings but also inspires. Edwin pushes the tough questions, Esther brings the heart and empathy, while Kalaala adds the cultural angle with urgency. Together, they flip the script on the mindset that “life is always better abroad.”
From brain drain that weakens industries, to the dependency syndrome that keeps Africa begging, the episode pulls no punches. Instead, it calls on Africans to put in the work at home—whether through entrepreneurship, content creation, culture, or innovation.
Some standout moments?
- Esther sharing the story of a neighbor who left for “greener pastures” but returned struggling and broken, a reminder that not all that glitters abroad is gold.
- Edwin pointing to Ugandans thriving locally—content creators proving that Kampala too can be a launchpad for global success.
- Kalaala reading listener stories of people torn between staying and going, highlighting the emotional tug-of-war many face.
By the end, the podcasters drop a challenge: create locally, support African voices, and be part of building our own success stories—because nobody will do it for us.
