In this episode we are discussing the seismic events that have been taking place on the African continent throughout the year. From South Africa to Nigeria, we break down our personal connections to these events and question the role of media in deciding which protests matter. We also hear from people who represent the diaspora of these countries and their thoughts and feelings on these events. We would like to thank Deborah Aderibigbe, Tariro Zuzanyika and Pena Hamutengela for their contributions to this episode.
