The backdrop for this discussion is based on my observations as an immigrant African myself living thru the mid 90s in America and how my own personal views on African Americans were shaped by my experiences from attending a university with a strong African American studies program
A repost of Episode 54 - I continue to tell you about my experiences in Ghana in 2019. You get to listen to the time my boy and I ran into these south african girls at our hotel.
So basically between talking to friends and family and following on social media all the things that are going on in Ghana right now for the past couple of months, I couldn't make an episode without talking about what's happening over there presently. The average Ghanaian I am sure didn't think that things would get this bad but it has. All we can do is hope that our leaders will implement some measures to mitigate some of the suffering that's going on down there.
I got back to talking about my trip to Ghana last year and you get to hear all about the party that I threw for my cousin.
