Yeah, so I actually went to Ghana for the first Pride Month after a new very kind of, you know, homophobic bill was approved by Parliament.
And I was covering how...
Yeah, how this community, they call it their community, how people support each other and how they managed to have a pride event in a secret location even after this terrible bill had, you know, been approved and unleashed this kind of wave of homophobia.

I went there.
It was pretty much my first professional journalistic trip.
