Money is a constant struggle in the African Diaspora household especially if you are from a big family. In this week’s discussion, our young panelist discuss the importance of investing especially for African millennials and GenZ living in the diaspora. Investment is the process of exchanging income during one period of time for an asset that is expected to produce earnings in future periods. Thus, consumption in the current period is foregone in order to obtain a greater return in the future.  What you should invest in and the best strategies to use when it comes to it. Share in the comment section your investing strategies. What are YOU investing in?  Share this episode: https://youtu.be/8jcCQF1Q-ow

Wedding season is here and that means seeing a lot of exciting videos of some elaborate African weddings on  Instagram.  So, this week, we discuss the pressure in the African community to get married and what that means here in the Diaspora. The pressure to enter  the institution of marriage is particularly strong for African women in their 20s. If you are 22 or above and unmarried, you have probably heard one of these remarks from a nosy relative or community member: “It’s time for you to settle down already…” If you’re in a relationship, you and your partner have been asked multiple times “when will you tie the knot?” However, in the diaspora instead of getting married, younger African women/men  are now choosing to concentrate on education and career first (economic empowerment); and then maybe head towards having committed relationships that may or may not lead to marriage. As a species, we have evolved, and we do not need marriage in the ways we did in times past, yet society keeps trying to ram people into the “traditional marriage” model.

Many of the issues facing the African community require uncomfortable yet necessary conversations and mental health is certainly one of those issues, at the top of that list. In this first episode, we discuss the mental health stigma in the African community. We take a deep dive into the origins of this stigma. Although we recognize that this is an issue, we shy away from speaking about it and potentially addressing  the challenge with some real solutions. Mental health matters and it is time to start having these conversations to remove the stigma.
