Social Experiment
This is a show by two African women coming into themselves in their 20s. On this podcast, Kai and Siye share some of their experiences as friends who have found each other in college, in a foreign continent, away from the familiarities of home.
"Home is not waiting for you" - a reality check
In this episode, we discuss a piece titled "Dear African Abroad: Home Is Not Waiting For You" by Takondwa. We talk about our blind spots and how they impact the ways in which we continue to interact with the places we call home.  The sound quality is a bit shambolic but please bare with us as we work our way through that. We promise it will improve as we continue on this journey.  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/socialexperiment/message
