  • One of my favorites

    Thank you Hana for the love song to Sudan — I wouldn’t have known this beautiful music had you not shared it. I’m Asian American but I got hooked on some of the diaspora episodes because they were so relatable to my own experience — then the hair and colorism episodes hooked me because I am a woman who also struggles with white beauty standards. This podcast is a comfort listen for me, I love the hosts’ friendship and soothing voices.

While it's an option, Natalie expresses that she feels more equipped to navigate such relationships after their discussions.
Chillin' with Chimamanda
Q: How do you think about the hyphenation of your children's identities as diaspora Africans?
Chimamanda wants to focus on their Nigerian identity and emphasizes the importance of infusing Nigerian culture into their lives.
The Subtle Roast
Q: Whatever happened to Johnny?

The Subtle Roast
Q: What do you think black people could do to kind of champion body acceptance and diversity?
I'm not sure, as I still feel there aren't enough open conversations about weight in our community.
The Subtle Roast
Q: Do you think that has anything to do with weight at all though?
For me, yes. There's a connection between the expectations placed on fat people and the pressure to seem non-threatening or humble.
