October 22, 2018 African Masculinity
What do men talk about?
(Guest episode by Julian Obubo) On this episode of the AFROBLUSH podcast, our special guest Ade Bamgbala, Louisa and I discuss the construction and complexity around forms of masculinity, and more specifically, African masculinity. Popular culture will have you believe we (African men) don’t stray far beyond the topics of sports, sex and material things, and if we do, we keep it very superficial.
Whilst my lived experience has found this to be untrue, I can understand why this myth persists, and how we, African men, consciously and unconsciously maintain and propagate it. Listen now, and let us know your thoughts.
You're listening to: Louisa Kiwana (Creator & Host), Julian Obubo (Co-host), Ade Bamgbala, Creator of @Blacticulate (Guest).

September 04, 2018 Transcending Race
What does it mean to transcend race?
I discuss what it means to go 'beyond' your race and whether this is a progressive or reductive aspiration for the Pan-African diaspora.
Transcending race is a complicated topic that’s entangled in both systematic racism and the ability to overcome oppression. From the house negro, to O.J. Simpson and arguably even Fela Kuti and Beyoncé, the ability to transcend race is the dream for some and a nightmare for others.
You're listening to: Louisa Kiwana (Creator of The Mix), Tina Tama (Co-host), Julian Obubo (Guest), Nanda Poleon (Guest). Carine Kazadi (Guest)
