Selam & Hello

Live! Who Am I? Understanding identity through race, language and religion


Listen Later

Huwaida, Sam and Jason share how their identities, linked to language, religion and race, have affected their Kenyan and global lives. They answer questions about privilege, gaps that exist between generations and how they respond when someone asks, "are you really Kenyan?" Up/Root is grateful to Trademark Hotel in Village Market that sponsored this live recording on December 11, 2019. Sound recording and editing provided by Bakachi Akatsa for BSTU Nairobi ([email protected]). Photography courtesy of Armstrong Kiprotich ([email protected]). The Up/Root jingle was written and performed by Selah Piper, my amazing daughter. This episode is dedicated to my friend George Wolf. We miss you, George.
