from comm-UNITY! · host comm-UNITY!
Mr. Brian Kagoro, Pan Africanist, Founder and Executive Director of UHAI Africa Group, joins us in episode 11 as we unpack the ways in which the pandemic has both divided and united us because of collective fear and uncertainty. He describes COVID-19 as a testing of the glue that holds us together. On the one hand, it has revealed how little we know of each other, highlighting and adding to pre-existing prejudices, discrimination and stigma within the African community. On the other hand, it has brought to light values of solidarity, care and resilience that are embedded in our community. And has created space for inclusive leadership to emerge. We are noticing our strengths and we are noticing the things we need to fix.
