The first time I heard Lady Jay Dee was appointed to be the ambassador for women suffering from fistula in Tanzania, I immediately remembered the documentary below. Like many of you, before I watched this documentary I had no knowledge of what fistula was.

Fistula may seem to be a small problem, since is treatable by surgery, but this documentary takes even a longer walk around the issue. The women in this documentary tell stories of how this problem have enslaved them and even turning them against their societies.

Bahati was born and raised in Tanzania, and then moved to California to pursue his college education. He graduated in 2008 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science and a minor in Sociology. Bahati expects to be doing his Masters in African Studies in the near future. He is currently working on starting a t-shirt business and a possible publication of some of his writings. One thing that Bahati cannot live without is music, specifically Hip Hop & Bongoflava which he argues are both the voice of the youth today, and is excited to look into how Bongoflava can be a source of further entrepreneurship among the youth in Tanzania. Bahati believes that Bongoflava can help to reduce poverty in Tanzania, as can a more collective effort among key players.
