After a prolonged period of research and investigation of the controversy surrounding the building of a Military Medical Museum in Tiger Bay, Cardiff, we are excited to announce that the podcast âWhen Tiger Bay Roaredâ has now finally released. Throughout the podcast, we managed to clear some of the thick smoke surrounding the events leading to the decision to build a Museum focused on showcasing Britainâs history of military medicine on Britannia Park, the last green space in the surrounding area. This fracturing decision by the Council was met with a vast array of negative reactions from different groups within the surrounding community, while others wholly supported it. By drawing on the views of senior officials working at the Museum as well as community leaders and other interested parties, we were able to bring together a host of contrasting opinions while critically analysing them in the historical context of the British military and the colonial expansion that took place in the late 19th century.

In this episode, I discuss my experiences with subconscious racial bias at a hotel in one of Africa's most beautiful holiday destinations: Mauritius. Although my experience with most Mauritian citizens was largely positive, the response I received from the many of the White tourists I came across was less than welcoming...
For lack of confusion, at 18:00, this is a separate event that happened independently of the other incident I was describing.

In this episode we look at the assassination of Patrice Lumumba. A widely influential figure in recent African history and many contend that his assassination still has implications in the modern and global political spheres. We will also be examining the extent to which the CIA, the Belgian government and other Congolese officials were involved in his murder.
*This episode is based on the research of Bruce Kuklik and Victoria Brittain. Both individuals have looked into this topic extensively, the former being a Historian and the latter, a Journalist.

Due to the global power imbalance caused by the colonial project, the Global North has a de facto monopoly when it comes to telling Africaâs story. This dynamic also means that continental Africanâs have a secondary role in telling their own story, even with a strong and active diaspora. In this episode, Nuura and I take a look at how this impacts the relationship between Africans on the continent and in the diaspora.
* Disclaimer- this podcast, regrettably, wasnât wholly representative of the views of Africans that have lived outside the continent for long periods of time, however, we will most likely follow this episode up with one that is more representative in due course.

In this episode we discuss the things that educators should avoid when teaching Black History. For example, many Black History classes will only focus on Slavery and Colonialism; although these are important topics, focusing exclusively on them waters down what is a more nuanced and expansive history. This is one of the many subjects I discussed in this podcast. Hope you enjoy!

Yes... I said what I said. We don't need Black History Month. We don't need a month where PR vultures and major companies can scavenge on the works of Black activists to put on a façade of progress. We need honest, sustainable and long term solutions to what is and has always been a deeply engrained societal issue: the erasure of Black History and identity. Find out what I think the true solution is in this podcast.

In this episode we took a deep dive into the philosophy, vision and mission of the African Leadership Academy. To some it's the most expensive school in Africa (although this is misleading), to others this is one of the few schools that is revolutionizing African education. Join us as we sit down with the Dean to discuss the curriculum, the impact of the school, its model and whether it's sustainable as well as the Americanization of African institutions and what the implications of that are.

In this episode we talked about the different privileges that diasporan Africans may have, specifically if they live in the West. One of the many topics we covered was access to the worlds of academia and art and how these forums have been made increasingly more accessible in the West compared to the African continent. Finally, we discussed the different ways that Africans indigenous to the continent and in the diaspora can work together to bridge this resource gap and create a future that is conducive for Africans of all backgrounds.

Meet Jesse Forrester, someone I'd like to term 'the African Iron Man' due to his innovative thinking and his effectiveness in implementing his ideas. He, along with his team of African avengers run Mazi Mobility, a company focusing on building sustainable public transport vehicles, specifically electric Tuk-Tuks and Motorbikes (the Nduth-e). We discussed the story behind the founding of the company as well as other contemporary tech issues affecting Africa today.

This week we discuss the recent move by the African Union to recognise diasporan Africans as the "sixth region" . Djamil Ninsue and I discuss the implications of such a move and what it could mean if the African Union decided to allow the diaspora to move back to the continent and gain citizenship in any country of their choice. Hope you enjoy!
