🌈✨What a Day at NWU Mahikeng Campus!✨🌈

Yesterday’s Kasi 2 Kasi Q***r Cinema Film Festival screening at North-West University – Mahikeng Campus was nothing short of powerful, moving, and unforgettable!

🎬 From Mxsterminds: An African Agenda that sparked powerful dialogue, to Man>Code that had the room buzzing, and stories like Onthou vi Fredo? and Gender Affirming Healthcare in Mzansi that left us reflecting deeply — the screens lit up with courage and truth.

💜 A heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who came through — students, creatives, allies, and community — for making the space vibrant, safe, and alive. Your voices and presence reminded us why q***r stories matter. 🙌🏾

Did you know that South Africa’s Pride celebrations, especially Pride Month in October, honour our country’s very first Pride march back in 1990? That march was held during apartheid when it was still illegal to be LGBTQ+. It was an act of defiance, courage, and hope — and it laid the foundation for every Pride that followed.

Today, Pride events remain a powerful mix of celebration, activism, and remembrance — reminding us that the struggle for full LGBTQ+ equality and inclusion continues.

✨ We’d love to hear from YOU:
What was your first Pride like?
What keeps you coming back to Pride every year?
Or, if you stopped going — what made you feel you’d never attend a Pride again?

Your story matters. Share it with us in the comments. 🏳️‍🌈💬
