Zoom with Mari & Ferdinand Kamuzora: The Person Beneath the Label
Episode 7
Friday, 15 May, 2026
This episode starts with something simple, but not small. A question we often rehearse and think we know how to answer: who are you? With conviction and flair, Ferdinand Kamuzora answers it directly: he is human first.From there, we talk about identity. What happens when you begin removing the things you’ve used to define yourself. The titles, the expectations, the versions of you that make sense to other people. He talks about self-image and how it shifts when those things fall away.This becomes a conversation about what remains when roles no longer define you. What do you build your self-image on when you are not relying on labels to explain you? He brings in Nietzsche’s concept of the “Übermensch” — the idea of a self that is continuously shaped by values you choose to embody.I ask him: what is his male perspective on self image? And this is where the tension comes in.Because even when someone steps away from labels, people still interpret them through those same labels. Especially when it comes to gender. There is a gap between how he defines himself and how he is seen, and that gap becomes part of the conversation. He resists being reduced to a category. I try to hold space for what that resistance is pointing to.
