On Being a Black Expat in China: Nneya Checking In with Imani B.

What's Happening in Guangzhou & Being a Black Expat in China? The crazy thing about the 24/7 news cycle is people’s day to day horrible realities can quickly become yesterday’s news. While listening to CNN this week, I heard an update about the discrimination faced by people of African descent in the Chinese city of Guangzhou. Imani and I discuss her time in Wuhan at the outbreak of Covid19 and her experiences in China as a BlackExpat, and an American expat. We discuss the privileges of that, curiosity vs. racism, xenophobia, being Muslim in China and even knuckin' and buckin' in Egypt. Imani had me tearing up laughing.

A Better Possibility - Discovering the Future of South Africa in It's Past

While in Cape Town, South Africa, I visited Robben Island. In a dimly lit former administration room of the prison facility, I sat down with Thulani Mabaso, former inmate at Robben Island, comrade of South African former President Nelson Mandela and renowned speaker and lecturer on South Africa's apartheid and the A.N.C.'s liberation movement. His charge? Terrorism. I explore what lead Mabaso to Robben Island in the 1980s and the hope and future of South Africa that keeps him there today.
