Independence Day - a time of gathering together to watch fireworks, eat good food, and celebrate with friends. But Independence Day has a greater symbolic meaning than just commemoration with friends and family. On this episode of 365 days with mxmtoon, Maia shares the reasoning to why September 30th is so special for the country Botswana - it’s their day of independence from the United Kingdom! But how did they gain their freedom and even end up in the control of the U.K.? Maia gives all the details of this special moment in history, and celebrates Botswana for their self-rule. Speaking of special moments, today we have a special guest joining us for our musical segment: Carly Rae Jespen!
