Diasporadicals

We delve into African history; we talk about African contributions to modern society and technology as we know it today. Our guest shares some knowledge on architecture and describes the benefits and history of mud huts as well as their contribution to social identity among different tribes, and how that might translate into modern structures.

We re-describe the narrative around how African history has been portrayed by the Western world. We talk about the written histories across the continent and how they have been erased from the archives, ultimately affecting how Africans see and express themselves. We look back at visionaries who have inspired Pan-African ideologies and wonder how we can start to transform these dreams into future realities.

We're back with some fresh and awesome voices to engage in an age-old discussion about gender wars, particularly from the perspective of the Black African Diaspora. We ask why Black men don't play a big part in raising families, the division of labour and duties between women and men from childhood to adulthood, and the idea of the progressive Black/African families within and outside of the continent. We question the status quo and efforts to understand each other as members of the different genders in efforts to challenge the mindsets that came out of how we were raised. How we can cope, be supportive and hopefully empower each other. As usual, it gets deep!

It's our Podversary! And what better way to celebrate than with a fiery episode featuring our birthday pod mates, The Talking Single Podcast! We get together to share our experiences of the dreaded 'Jungle Fever!' We talk about how black women and men have been stereotyped and fetishized and all the stories that surround the subject.

Happy Podversary to The Talking Singles Podcast & us 🎂
