    S6, Ep 051 with Talib Jasir, founder of Afros & Audio, on Black podcast communities and why they are important

    Now, more than ever, the timeliness and significance of Black podcasting communities is critical to the sanctity and survival of the voice and perspectives of African descendants across the globe. In this episode, host Dr. Yndia is in conversation with Talib Jasir, the founder of the Afro & Audio Podcast Festival for Black indie podcast creatives and Vanguard Podcast Network, a podcast production company that produces original independent stories and social impact nonprofit podcasts.

    In this episode, journey to South Africa’s SOWETO with host Yndia as she visits the Hector Pieterson memorial site and museum and is in conversation with Antoinette Sithole, Ambassador and Co-founder of Driving Education Culture. Antoinette Sithole is most known as the sister of Hector Pieterson, an emblem of the June 16 1976 Student Uprising. Alongside Mbuyisa Makhubu, Antoinette Sithole is forever etched in that famous photograph depicting the heart-wrenching moment as Mbuyisa carried her dying 12-year-old brother, Hector, in his arms after police opened fire on thousands of Black South African school children who were marching against the enforcement of Afrikaans language in township schools. The June 16 photograph is forever linked to the struggle for liberation and justice in South Africa and also stands as part of the museum and memorial site. (Prod. Credit @Masauko).
