In this weeks podcast episode I reflect on the Renee Bach case and how her white saviour complex contributed to illegaly practicing medicine in Jinja, Uganda - killing hundreds of children. Connecting to the case I speak of the damaging consequences of volunteer hype and aid workers without proper education or qualities for the task at hand. As well as the commodification and exploitation of black bodies for the sake of white peoples "poverty porn" and/or humble brags on social media. This ends here.
