In this episode, we are joined by Yamai, who was a Joko Podcast listener and pitched this episode idea to us and Moussa, the creator of the Wolofglish Instagram page (@wolofglish). We talk about how we all learned Wolof, the socio-cultural and colonial influences on the language, Gambian vs Senegalese Wolof and other topics. Follow us on instagram @Jokopodcast__

Reaction to BAABEL Episode 25

JOKO is a Wolof word that means to connect and have a conversation or dialogue. This podcast is one long dialogue on the Senegalese-American experience. Cohosts Arame Niang and Aida Guisse talk about everything and anything through the lens of their hyphenated identity. They explore what it means to be Senegalese women in America, Senegalese women outside of Senegal and everything in between.  Topp lenn niou (follow along!)
