Black, African, African American, Caribbean, Pan African, a member of the diaspora ... there are so many ways for those connected to The Continent to identify themselves and that relationship ✊🏿🌍 This week Naana and Obie discuss their heritage and how they have each chosen to identify as first-generation immigrants. Much to their surprise, despite sharing similar origins, they have both had very different experiences.

Are some of the misconceptions that define the #DiasporaWars accurate or just another way that we tear each other down? All this and more on this week’s episode of Work Bae!
