Ep. 192: Takondwa Semphere and Khaleelah Logan on Black African Diaspora and the Continent

Black African diaspora and their relationships with the African continent is the topic of today's episode. One of last year's fellows, Takondwa Semphere, spoke with Khaleelah Logan, a creative strategist, art director, curriculum developer, and storyteller with a background that ranges across the global social impact sector. With the emphasis in recent years on black travel, and the government of Ghana setting up “return to Africa” initiatives that target the black diaspora and set up pathways for travel and “return” to other African countries, Takondwa's conversation contributes to the larger discourses of blackness, power, and geopolitics. In addition, the prevalence of social media and cultural productions that purport to bridge the two groups together signal that there is a renewed sort of interaction between the two groups outside of the United States.
