In this episode, our three co-hosts are discussing a complicated, necessary, and at times, uncomfortable, topic: exploring the Diaspora Divide, most specifically between African-Americans and different African immigrant communities. Pulling on each of their lived experiences and calling into question many systems and institutions responsible for the separation, Dau, David, & Henock go deep on why there's consistently tension amongst many of us, and how and why we must overcome it. Also, an in-depth Africa In The News Segment on COVID-19 in Africa and the many issues it is causing in Uganda, and how YOU can help by supporting Building Hope Project!
