Africa Stayed Multilingual… The Diaspora Needs to Catch Up


Listen Later

In this episode, we’re talking about the power of language and why Black people across the diaspora should embrace becoming more multilingual. Across Africa, it’s normal for many people to speak 3, 4, 5 languages and some even 9 or more. That ability creates connection, opportunity, cultural pride, and unity.


Meanwhile, many of us in the diaspora were disconnected from our ancestral languages through history. But now it’s time to rebuild.


Imagine Black people worldwide connecting through Yoruba, Igbo, Swahili, Haitian Creole, Patois, St Lucian Creole and more.


Language is power. Language is culture. Language is identity.


The more languages we learn, the more doors we open together and the closer we become globally.
