Afro-Latinos do not get a lot of mention in American culture unless you are in specific sectors of the country. Patty Lora joined me in this episode as we discussed her family's immigrant story from the Dominican Republic. Patty and I had a chat about colorism, embracing African roots as a Dominican, the importance of education, and being a woman in sports!

The struggles of becoming an Immigrant American with Temitope Akande
This episode with Temitope Akande was LOADED! Tope came from some of the worst parts of Lagos and every single step of his journey to America was a struggle. We spoke about him being an American college student at 16 years old, getting into one of the best schools in the country, the tensions between natural born Africans and African-Americans feeling "stuck" as an immigrant, running for office in the future, and a whole lot more!

African American or American African? Zenab Keita
In one of my favorite episodes that revolved around identy, Zenab touches on being a "third culture kid," pressures of appearances in African households, struggling with identity, code-switching, and the work that was done to embrace all of who she is.
