Honam

from The Spoken World Podcast Hosted by The Spoken World Podcast

Cynthia Amoah, originally from Ghana speaks with her powerful spoken word piece, "Honam" meaning skin. We talk about the concept of colorism and how it deep rooted it is and like always, there's a follow up round table talk with my friends; Daisy, Shawn and twin brother, A.J. Why is light skin preferred than dark skin? How long have we done this consciously or unknowingly? What is society's description of beauty... What is yours?
