What happens when black people inhabit work, living and spiritual spaces which tend to disconnect them from themselves and their home context? In this episode, Ayanda and Dambudzo explore what is lost along the way toward cultural assimilation, the intricacies of becoming a “better black”, and the double consciousness and self-alienation that can develop in black folk who straddle multiple spaces.
