Dedeh Rosidah, also known as Mamah Dedeh to her followers, is one of Indonesia’s most popular preachers. The fact that she is a middle-aged woman makes it all the more unique in this male-dominated arena. Mamah Dedeh delivers very frank and funny advice on otherwise taboo subjects such as “How to Deal with a Flirtatious Husband” and “Watch out for Homewreckers.” Her show is vastly popular with women, and many of them flock to see her shows live, with some women waiting years.
