Because We Said So is a podcast by Zama Marubelela and Landzy Gama, two 20-something South African women figuring life out in real time. From navigating friendships, love, careers, and the chaos of growing up—no topic is off-limits. It’s girlhood, unfiltered. Come for the laughs, stay for the realness.
