Lavender Lounge Reloaded
Step into The Lavender Lounge Reloaded, a bold new chapter of Carmen Prins’ soulful journey. Exclusive to AfriKaap Radio, this show is a powerful testament to resilience, and radical joy. Expect a rich soundscape of energy-lifting tunes - from classic R&B and hip-hop to house, neo-soul, and South African gems - celebrating queer and conscious artists locally and globally. Through raw, intimate interviews, Carmen speaks with LGBTQIA+ creatives, thought leaders, mental health advocates, entrepreneurs, healers, academics, and culture-shapers. Together they unpack personal growth, wellness, identity, justice, and survival. Grounded in Carmen’s own journey from corporate banking to creative activism, the show is a sanctuary for authenticity, transformation, and connection. The Lavender Lounge Reloaded also shines a spotlight on queer-owned businesses and freelancers, offering a rare platform for visibility and global reach. More than a radio show, The Lavender Lounge Reloaded is a revolution in sound - a weekly retreat and rallying cry for Queer liberation, healing, and truth.
