In this episode, I will be discussing some major issues concerning the continent of Africa.
Controversial headlines are inevitable these days; It has almost become the norm for our news outlets. Sometimes, we ignore certain things because of how aware we are of their normal conduct (in this case, hyping up the negative stereotype of Africa),but when there is a consistent pursuit to make something, someone and some place look despicable on every occasion, there must be a moral assessment that has to been done. Not to be misunderstood with informing someone about events that keep reoccurring, but having a healthy balance in the information that is being shared.
Africa has been on the receiving end of negative international portrayal. In the ‘Beauty in Being an African’ episode, some positive aspects and contributions to the African culture was shared but not to the fullest capacity. Although, striving to put out a positive outlook on Africa was the goal, in this episode, we are going to the depths of some issues that are the sources of corrupt headlines of Africa.
