Star Trek, Diaspora, & The Art of Weaving

<p>Are you proud to be an American? On this podcast we grapple with the powerful and conflicted heart of American Identity</p>
<p>On American Self we set ourselves to the exploration and interrogation of what it means for each of us to be American. How did we come to be like this? Is this how it should be? Can you be proud? Through long form conversation with host Amas Muhammad and guests, we will attempt the revelatory understanding of the who, what and why, we are in this country. There will be harmony and there will be conflict, but without welcoming honest and unflinching dialogue, we can never expect to find the crucial joy of mutual understanding. American Self is a brave space. There are no wrong answers.</p>
