In this episode, we reflect on recent events and throwback to similarities of a ‘coup’ and post poll unrest back in Kenya.
*Intercultural Couple Reacts to Capitol Building Protest*
In this video, we expose our intercultural views on the capitol building protest that ensued following the 2020 US elections. We draw similarities to certain post election or "post poll" violence events that occurred in Kenya back in December 2007 and early 2008.
President elect Joe Biden (being inaugurated today 1/20/2021) won the majority and electoral vote in 2020 and this was not well received by supporters of the outgoing President Trump. This led to the recent capitol building storming that occurred in Washington. It felt like deja vu for me, a person who experienced post poll chaos back in late 2007, early 2008 after elections in Kenya. We discuss similarities and include a storytime retelling of living through these experiences as a young person focused on launching my career.
