EP 68 - THE RETURN OF THE CROWN



In This Episode:
Growing up in Benin City, there was so much culture, history, and art. I grew up learning about all the beautiful artifacts created in Benin and also how a lot of them were stolen from us by the 'White Man'. This didn't happen only in the Benin Kingdom but across the whole of Africa.
So you can imagine my joy when I saw an article about an artifact being returned to Ethiopia. Could this be the beginning of an era? I think that It is about time all the stolen artifacts are returned to their rightful countries.

EP 67 - THE GOLDEN STOOL: MYTH OR REAL?





In This Episode: 

One of the things I love most about growing up in Africa is that our history and culture is so rich. There are so many stories, both mythical and real, from Africa, one of them being the story of The Golden Stool of the Ashanti people in Ghana. If you have heard of it, what do you think? Could it be real, or is it a myth? If you haven’t, now is a good time to learn something new.

In This Episode:
After a trip to my county Nigeria, I realize that there is a major difference between the ‘organic food’ we believe we consume in the USA; and the authentic organic food grown in Africa.
