Afua and the gang continue with their discussion ABOUT police brutality and racism as a whole. This time, we go a layer deeper and dissects how all of this affects us.

We continue the conversation by discussing ideas about ourselves that forward the agenda of racism and colonialism, we discuss anti-blackness, anti-Africanness and self-hatred. We talked about unlearning of internalized self-hatred, the use of words like obroni which means white person on black people as a compliment in Ghana. We also discuss false narratives around colonialism, how the protests affect African and Caribbean women in tech and our careers, and how we can hold our friends, our elders and the companies we work for accountable.
