Hiii Cousins!!!

This week we had the pleasure of chatting with Sultan Mohammed Hassan who came all the way from Harar for kuba week here in Toronto. We spoke about the current issues within our hometown and the goals for the future as well as how to unite the East African community. This episode is different from our usual lighthearted style but we hope you enjoy the listen!
