Episode 7 – Europe Is Not a Continent

Description:

What if the maps lied to us?
What if the globe we learned from was never about land—but power?
In this episode of Who Yelling Now, we pull back the curtain on one of the world’s most accepted geographic fictions: the idea of Europe as a continent.

Because it isn’t.

Not by geological standards. Not by physical borders. Not by logic.
But by history? By empire? By whiteness? Oh yes. By those—it reigns.

We explore how Europe, a mere western stretch of the supercontinent Eurasia, was politically and culturally carved out as "exceptional." How the myth of separateness allowed it to label, divide, conquer, and name the rest of the world—especially Africa, Asia, and the so-called “Middle East,” itself a colonial compass point with no compass.

With poetry and reflection, we peel back colonial cartography and confront what it means to live in a world where even the shape of the earth was redrawn to uphold racial hierarchy. From schoolroom lies to travel visas, this episode isn’t just about a place on the map. It’s about the power to define, and the silence that follows.

If Europe isn’t a continent—
Then what else have they lied to us about?

Spoken word meets spoken truth.
Bring your globe. Bring your courage. We yelling now.
