But Where Are You Really From

But where are you really from? Those who have been asked that question understand the significance of the word ‘but’ and its attempts to define someone strictly by race, skin color, or accent. In today’s episode of We Need To Talk, Valerie Traoré sits down with Amanda Khozi Mukwashi, the CEO of Christian Aid, to discuss her new book, But Where Are You Really From, a journey of race, culture, and identity.

Joining as co-host is Valerie’s colleague and friend Tasha Mills. As a Native Chicagoan, Tasha brings a unique ‘African American living in Africa’ perspective to the conversation. The three discuss the arbitrary value system and power dynamics that underpin the core of this question. They also chat about the false narratives around Black/African interpersonal relationships that reinforce the negative views we hold about ourselves. You don’t want to miss this episode!

You can listen to the episode this Friday November 6th at www.inserviceof.org/podcast and live in Dakar on 94.9FM WADR at 7:00pm GMT. We’ve also gone regional! Click the podcast link to see when and where live episodes and rebroadcasts will air in Sierra Leone, Gambia, Liberia, and Nigeria.
