EP 79 - Africa In Crisis

In This Episode: 

2020 has been one heck of a year, and Africa is one continent that felt the brunt of it. From the pandemic to genocides, massacres, poverty, hunger, and a lot more. 

The beautiful continent of Africa has been in crisis, and it's significantly due to bad governance. I feel that we Africans, especially us in the diaspora, should come together to find a solution. How can we join forces with our brothers and sisters in Africa to build our continent back to greatness?

EP 57 - African First Ladies

In This Episode: 

Most of the time, we as Africans tend to overlook the First Ladies of our countries. We fail to acknowledge their hard work, contribution, and even sacrifice. 

That is why I have decided to dedicate this episode to African First Ladies, and one of them in particular who has done great things for her country Rwanda, Jeannette Kagame.

EP 15 - WELCOME TO LIBERIA

In This Episode:

I will take you on an interesting journey through the beautiful West African Country called ‘Liberia’

Usually, when you speak of Liberia, all people think of immediately is the war that really destroyed the country or the fact that they have a female president; but Liberia is so much more!
From their food to their amazing Museums and National Parks, Liberia has so many wonderful destinations and sights to see.
