Hey POD FAM! 🖤 Am I Black or Am I African? Identity is complicated, and for many of us in the diaspora, the question of who we are isn’t always a simple answer. What does it mean to be Black? What does it mean to be African? And why do these labels sometimes feel like they clash?
No matter where you’re from or how you identify, this conversation is for you. I hope you enjoy this episode! 💚
