On Issues Affecting Our People At Home and Abroad (w/ Dessay Brown)

On Issues Affecting Our People At Home and Abroad (w/ Dessay Brown)

In this episode, I'm joined by Dessay Gray-Brown. We discuss what it means to be an African in America, especially at a time like this, with police brutality and the rise of racial tensions under the current administration. We also discuss perceptions of the American dream for family members back in our respective home countries and how the realities are different. We highlight the importance of passing down our cultural heritage to the next generation, talk about coronavirus and how it's causing tensions for Africans living in China, and ways that African governments should respond to these challenges and how they have failed us in many ways.
