   I like music so watching the "biggest night in music" is a no-brainer. This is my review of the Grammys 2021 as well as my observations about this year's nominations.

   African or Black?

   Today’s episode is a black history month special! Following the #securethetribe space late January, Lewa and I discuss black identity from an African perspective highlighting the burden placed on black people all over the world. We address whether or not African immigrants should be instrumental to the development of the black society in Western countries. We also discuss the conflict between Africans and Black Westerners particularly African-Americans and the need to tell genuine African and black stories exclusive of the American experience. Articles I read; Should the term 'black' to describe people of African origin be retired? (https://www.trtworld.com/opinion/should-the-term-black-to-describe-people-of-african-origin-be-retired-29105) Not all black people are African American. Here's the difference. - CBS News (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/not-all-black-people-are-african-american-what-is-the-difference/) A Debate Over Identity and Race Asks, Are African-Americans ‘Black’ or ‘black’? - The New York Times (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/26/us/black-african-american-style-debate.html) This is the Off the Record with Aanu podcast where I have informal conversations about anything and everything, with topics on socio-political issues and pop culture.

    Taking the Ultimate Nigerian Feminist Test

    Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie in her 2013 ted talk defined a feminist as a person who believes in the social, political and economic equality of the sexes, on this episode, Charis and I pick up from that definition, discuss our feminist beliefs and address whether feminism should address male issues like toxic masculinity. We also discuss the danger of having personal convictions in a movement and come to the conclusion that it is going to take collective effort to move forward. (Editor Aanu realizes that we did not cover the topic of female enablers of patriarchy amongst other things, it is a pretty broad topic, till next time so stay tuned.)

    Hi and Welcome!

    The Intro I actually planned but this was way more fun to record; The past year, I got to have amazing conversations with the people around me and just learn and unlearn. I think everyone needs to not only learn but unlearn. Hi, I am Aanu and welcome to the Off the record with Aanu podcast where I have informal conversations about anything and everything. This has been a really really long time coming. I have written and rewritten everything I plan to say in this intro. I am pretty sure by the time I release this, it would not still be good enough but oh well. Welcome, again and on this podcast I sometimes discuss alone or with my guests topics surrounding sociopolitical issues and pop culture, movie and music I have a lot to say, more than  a lot actually when my thoughts are organised and shelved into different compartments but I also think I have a lot to hear also. That’s what this podcast is for, exploring different points of view and trying to make sense of “society” so if you want to go along on this journey with me, stay tuned, follow us on all social media platforms linked below, sit back and learn and probably unlearn. This is the Off the Record with Aanu podcast where I have informal conversations about anything and everything, with topics on socio-political issues and pop culture.  Stay connected with us; Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/offtherecordwithaanu Twitter: https://twitter.com/offdrecordaanu Email: offtherecordwithaanu@gmail.com New episodes out every two weeks!
