On Identity and Sense of Community in the African Diaspora (with Azubuike Nwadei)

<p>I am joined by another one of my good friends, Azubuike Nwadei, and we will be discussing identity in our community as African-Americans, as Nigerian-Americans, as Igbo-Americans, and as Biafrans. &nbsp;We discuss what each of these hyphenated identities means to us at different points of our lives, the concept of home, our experiences growing up - good or bad - that shaped us and our interactions with different members of the diaspora, at what point being African became "cool" or acceptable to us, and some of our hopes for the future as it relates to the kind of lives we want our children to have different from our own upbringings.<br> </p> <p>Leave us a voice message: anchor.fm/bldgafricasfuture/message&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/buildingafricasfuture&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Join our Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/buildingafricasfuture&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Follow us on Instagram: @buildingafricasfuture&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Contact us via email: buildingafricasfuture@gmail.com&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Please subscribe and share with friends.
