Respect Is Not Old School, TikTok, Youth Culture, and the Gambian Soul

In this powerful episode of M&M Beyond Words, Madi and Muha dive into a growing concern within Gambian society the misuse of TikTok among youths. What began as a platform for creativity, comedy, and opportunity has, in many cases, turned into a space for insults, public shaming, and even the disrespect of parents. Rooted deeply in Gambian culture and values, this conversation explores the tension between modern digital freedom and traditional respect. Madi and Muha reflect on how clout culture is reshaping behavior, how online actions carry real life consequences, and why respect for elders remains timeless, not “old school.” This episode is not about condemnation it is about consciousness. A call for youths to reclaim social media as a tool for growth, dignity, and legacy.

Listen. Reflect. Choose wisely.
