On this episode I talk about a few of the many experiences I've had living in L.A. Naturally, it's a huge city with so many languages, cultures, and food (my favorite)! Discovering the many parts of this large city and talking to a variety of people has given me the chance to learn about other cities and countries through their stories. 

Adiam Tesfay, an incredible force to be reckoned with, is a community activist, mentor, and leader that's committed to her community- both small and large. You can see her in the youtube video, "Anti-Black Bias in the Habesha Community", as well. 

Yonas Fikak, the other half of "Anti-Black Bias in the Habesha Community", is an amazing young man who has given back to his community on many levels. You can check out his videos on youtube. 

Yikealo Kesete, one part of a Dynamic Duo who have a youtube show: "Anti-Blackness in the Habesha Community".  In these videos, YK and his partner, Yonas Fikak, talk about the conversations and honest dialogues that they carry out with other Habeshas about Blackness, identity, and cross-cultural misconceptions and biases.

In this episode, I interview Assane Konte, who taught and guided several generations of dancers in the Washington D.C. area. We discuss dance, music, and stories and the why you can not have one without the other two elements. Kankouran, the dance company can be found at:  www.kankouran.org.
