Conversations from the Diaspora

In our recent Circle Series live stream event for #MLKDay2022, our panelists discuss the legacies of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X. In these times of declining rights for black people and people of color in America, which leader's philosophy do we follow on the 'road to the mountaintop’ of cultural equity, inclusion, & healing?

In part I of this bonus episode, the panelists answer the questions of (1) which leader do they identify most with and why, and (2) what Malcolm X would say about black economics today.

'The Circle Series' is a restorative podcast series in partnership with Afrimerican Cultural Initiative where we will be exploring many different cultural topics of interest that will build community between African-Americans and African Immigrants in the USA.

In this panel discussion to kick off Kwanzaa, we aimed to address some of the deep rooted issues within the Black American and continental African communities and tried to find ways forward. We opened up with who lives in us, before going into past hurts and misperceptions, discovered similarities between both groups, and shared our admirations of each other. Could this be the great reconciliation?

In this episode, I’m joined by a special guest (who has decided to stay anonymous) as she shares her journey of trying to connect with her biological father’s side of the family. Through tears and laughter, she shares how her father’s absence affected her relationship with men, how therapy has helped her process her feelings about her dad, and the advice she has for others who are in a similar situation where they have no connection with a parent. Part 1 of our #livesinmechallenge episode series. Register for our upcoming event: Sunday, 12/26: https://bit.ly/3lC4HAJ. 

In this episode, Chinwe Ononuju and I discuss what and who are some of the drivers of cultural revitalization among African immigrant children, particularly of the millennial generation. We also considered who is responsible for maintaining culture (past and present) and some ways that our generation can do a better job in being intentional about passing on our cultural heritage to the next generation.
