In this episode of Ayanmo Radio, I dive into a necessary conversation about the tension that exists across the African diaspora particularly the disrespect often aimed at Black Americans and where these common misunderstandings come from. Sparked by a recent post from beauty creator Deja.Zhane, we’re unpacking xenophobia, and the impact of historical erasure on how we see each other.From Pan-Africanism to cultural pride, we ask: Do people across the African diaspora truly recognize Black American culture as a continuity of African culture? Or are we losing the plot all together?
