What kind of leaders does Africa need? Are we satisfied with the current state of leadership on the continent with elections being rigged, terms being extended and a massive age gap between the people and their leaders? These are some of the questions we addressed in the podcast. Have a listen to find out more.

In this episode, we connected the parallels African and Native American colonial experiences, exploring topics such as internalised racism, cultural appropriation, native beliefs about land and the importance of language in preserving cultural identity. This may be the last episode in the series depending on what we decide to do. ENJOY!

In this episode we briefly went through ways in which Africa impacted World History through trade,  prehistoric discoveries, participation in the World Wars and through political breakthroughs. Prepare to learn more about our motherland than you ever will in the classroom. 

In this urgent episode we discussed what we know about the case of Mahomud Hassan, the controversial responses from the media and the lack of responses from institutions like the Cardiff University Student's Union as well as the university itself. Racism is alive and well in Cardiff and in this episode we sought to unpack the instances in which racism has shown its true face in the city. If you can, please donate to Mahomud's family and if not, share this podcast or any useful piece of information on this case so that we can get the truth out to the world. 

In what has to be one of my favorite podcasts of all time, I got the chance to talk with Darcy. An indigenous Australian that has had to deal with the struggles of losing native lands, fighting to preserve his culture, and guarding it from cultural appropriation while facing racism from the wider community.  Together, we connected our post colonial experiences as I also shared my experience in the post colonial world as an African in relation to our conception of blackness, our educational systems and the topic of racism.

In this episode, I covered 5 main actions, ideas or dynamics that are keeping the African Diaspora in constant warfare with native Africans. This included the question of 'did black people sell their own into slavery?' and another investigation of the dynamics at play on social media between the groups. There are loads of memes, speeches from influential figures and more. Hope you'll enjoy!
