Today’s episode is a black history month special! Following the #securethetribe space late January, Lewa and I discuss black identity from an African perspective highlighting the burden placed on black people all over the world. We address whether or not African immigrants should be instrumental to the development of the black society in Western countries. We also discuss the conflict between Africans and Black Westerners particularly African-Americans and the need to tell genuine African and black stories exclusive of the American experience.

Articles I read;

Should the term 'black' to describe people of African origin be retired?
