What's up cousins!!!

We're back with a brand new episode this week, featuring our long-time friend Adel T! He's no stranger to the podcast world, Adel T was one of the co-hosts of Loose Merto, a podcast focusing on different issues in the East African community. Though they may be on an indefinite hiatus, Adel graciously joined us as our special guest this week. We compared the differences between American and Canadian Hararis, how we've assimilated and who's more in tune with the Harari culture! We highlighted the several different events within the global Harari community and how the recent lack of these events has had an impact on networking and meeting amongst first-generation Hararis...aka we're trying to see everyone get married lol! We hope you enjoy this week's episode!
