“The present predicaments of Africa are often not a matter of personal choice: they arise from a historical situation.’’- Ngugi wa Thiong’o.

What is the relationship between the old white men who wrote about the history of Africa and the African students who engage with their works today? For a lot of us, there is a desire to see a change in the works we engage with. My guests Onika, Nancy and Eva join me to have a deeper discussion about 1. The curriculum at SOAS among other unis, 2. The power of language. We hope you enjoy!

Song of the week: BDE and Flex ft Brimz- F*ck Love

You probably look crazy walking down the road talking to yourself. Sometimes you catch yourself and in a shame filled haste you stop moving your lips, hoping no one caught you. And yet, that's like your only way of sorting through the mangled mess that is your mind.

Step in, let's talk inner voices.

Evergreen Alert! This is one from the vault. My guest Amine came through for the second part of our discussion on social media. Today we delved into what habits social media gets us into, how social media addiction affects people, and what do we do to counter this? Hope you enjoy!

The words of the title are a fact of human existence that we should never forget. And yet...it seems now more than ever before (not literally) we are divided. Today my guest Freddie and I discuss just how far the division has gone, and who is to blame? Us? Them? Enjoy.

Higher education, or straight to work? It's terrifying deciding at 18. Oz an IT professional joins the team to talk about the wonders of work life. (Ongoing series)

In a land far far away (yes, this is how we’re starting), a young man speaks his mind. Hours later the town is gathered, with pitchforks and fire, ready to burn him at the stake. Okay this analogy went left. But you get the gist.

Today, my guest @Ahmed and I discuss the idea of freedom of speech. Do we have the right to say anything, or are we actually restricted? Is everyone allowed to say what they want? And what are the consequences? Tune in to find out more!

Guest of the day: Ozzie (@ozzieeratli)

How weird is it that anyone online can find you and just...watch everything you post. Welcome to the age of the social media gods, who control most facets of our lives. The gods can be kind, but they can also be cruel. How do we balance this out? My guests and I combine minds to figure out how social media interacts with mental health, modern dating (apps apps apps!!), and even stalking! Enjoy.

What started off as a conversation about Individualism, soon took a whirlwind turn into so many other subjects! This week, my guests (Eva and Alfred) and I spoke on topics covering the ideas of; What love is, what is bad parenting? how do we learn to love and if we are all God (i said no btw).
