When someone comes up to you and asks “what are you?”, how do you answer? Do you say American, African American, Black, Somali, Somali Bantu, Oji or Jareer? How old were you when you realized you were a part of this cultural identity and how long did it take you to identify with the identity you chose? These are the questions we explored in this month’s episode with our very special guest; Farhiya. She is a rising high school senior who has joined us today to talk about her journey to her Bantu cultural identity as a woman.
