"Home is not waiting for you" - a reality check
In this episode, we discuss a piece titled "Dear African Abroad: Home Is Not Waiting For You" by Takondwa. We talk about our blind spots and how they impact the ways in which we continue to interact with the places we call home.
The sound quality is a bit shambolic but please bare with us as we work our way through that. We promise it will improve as we continue on this journey.
