Diaspora Diary

With Diaspora Diary, Donna is connecting the global Black community by sharing stories of #BlackExcellence across the African diaspora. From creatives in Rwanda, to entrepreneurs in Jamaica, the featured guests and dynamic conversations show us that there are many paths to success, and the African diaspora is excelling in every facet of life. The interviewees are achievers, entrepreneurs, creators, innovators and gamechangers, most of whom beat the odds and defied the status quo to get to where they are. If you’re interested in learning more about life in the African diaspora, challenging the traditional narratives about black culture and people, traveling more, building your own business, and setting yourself apart, Diaspora Diary is the show for you!

    Ep 4: Maame Adjei talks "An African City" and traveling Africa

    Maame Adjei is one of Ghana's golden girls. Since returning home after a childhood stint in London, and school and work in Philadelphia, she gained national and international claim as a star of the hit series, An African City. As a fan of the series (which I've blogged about before), I was excited to connect with her when she visited Kigali. We talked about her work on the hit series, her travel show, and passion project, Girl Going Places, the joys and challenges of repatriation, and her recommendations for a fun trip to Ghana.  SHOW NOTES 3:00 How she got over imposter syndrome and got comfortable identifying herself as an actress 7:20 Growing up across three continents, and how that made her identify as Ghanaian even more. 9:27 The big move home 18:48 Maame's advice for young actors trying to break into the industry, and her thoughts on the Ghanian film industry 22:34 Her role on "An African City", in front and behind the camera.
