Hello there!
We celebrated Africa day on 25th May. Personally, it was my first time learning about Africa day...l am being honest here...A quick search on google shows that the Africa day celebration is an opportunity to commemorate Africa's Unique diversity and success and to highlight the cultural and economic potential that exists on the planet.
My question is, how many African youth/women are proud to identify as African?. As my amazing guest Judith Kawikya from Kenya states, "If given an opportunity, most African youth would leave the continent for the global north without a second thought".
However, despite all the problems that we currently have in our continent, I strongly believe that there is a lot to celebrate as Africans. This ranges from our different unique cultures, languages, skin color, hair texture, and talents to our beautiful nature among other beautiful and unique things in Africa.
I hope that from this episode, we learn to fully embrace our uniqueness as African women and men and most importantly educate future generations about our unique African culture and identity.
Thank you
