The most recent guest of MacG's Podcast and Chill was actress Kuli Roberts. One of the stand-out conversations was Kuli bringing up the fact that she is trying to normalise albinism and encourage Mzansi to let go of derogatory names for people who suffer from the condition, even if the words are embedded in a language.
When talking about her advocacy for albinism on the series, MacG asked Kuli if she has considered the ways she can help her movement reach many. He asked:
"Why do you think it's not sticking? I have never seen #Albinism anywhere."
Kuli simply responded saying that her advocacy is not a trend, it is a way of life. She eats, sleeps and breathes her beliefs and therefore does not need to put a hashtag in front of them to make them real.

In the podcast, Roberts continues to explain this concept by equating it to the same way she observes 'Lesbian Thursdays'. The celeb said:
"The reason I say that is so that the black man who is a homophobe can know that there women who like other women because as black people, we like to use tradition and culture and all sorts of excuses for weirdness."
Kuli further says that the only way out of that mentality is to be exposed to things. Even if people do not agree, they need to know that things exist beyond their comfort zone.
Kuli says her reasons for supporting people with albinism are she wants Africans to stop killing them and she wants the type of language used to describe them to change.
Kuli Roberts calls out social media user's act of racial self-hate
