Africanisms Tee: a work-in-progress podcast

Still processing after re-reading my favourite book. It gets me right in the heart and stays there for years- potent. Case in point, it's been over 15 years since I read that book, and I'm still in my feelings about it... Before I get into that though, there's good insight into tribe greeting- the Edo tribe from Nigeria to be exact. Go on, put your listening ears on- and your watching eyes because this podcast is now filmed! 

Remember the horror movie 'Diamond Ring' with Liz Benson? Fun fact, did you know a dark-haired RMD (Richard Mofe-Damijo) was in the movie? But those nightmarish horror films sha! They did me something. How about Last Burial? or the 'Puff puff' film? Let's reminisce about why we couldn't sleep without disturbing our parents or why the theme tune of Last Burial was scary even in broad day light.

Then we talk books! Childhood books anyone? How about Drummer Boy and Echoes from the Lagoon. Oh those days! How time flies. Do these stories still hold the same perspective now as an adult?

Fore Warning: Gremlin mics got me at the end.

But to the first statement: 'It Is Better To Be Warm Than Cold': where is the lie in that? Haha, do you not agree? This 'sode was inspired by the freezing air going into my lungs. We take a trip to Nigeria, then talk about the TV show Yanga Bookclub and finally chuckle about why 'radiator' and 'elevator' are not the same!

It's the end of October and there's so much to say. Why should you listen? Because it's nice to feel connected, to be reminded of our idiosyncrasies, to connect to our quirks. Laugh at childhood memories, ponder on African cooking- be honest, it takes long! Which cartoons wouldn't have made it past in your day? What shows to watch that you don't need Netflix for? What about books? It is there!

We'd love to hear your stories, why not drop us a lovely little note at: africanismsvibes@gmail.com

Our thing is about celebrating the quirks and colloquialisms of African culture in our way... Those jokes, proverbs, way-of-life things, we've got you.

Living in the UK, there are oh-so-many mirthful ways we bring our Africanisms, so we talk about our meld-ishness with European culture.
