Africa’s Youth Unfiltered
by Christina Uwana
Whether at home or abroad, the social, political, and economic aspects of our homeland generally go untouched by the next generation of Africans across the globe. Hosted by yours truly, Christina Uwana, I hope to encourage us to get comfortable with these seemingly uncomfortable conversations. Join me as we mix a little banter with real-life issues and potential solutions that we face as a continent. New episodes are available once a week, and with them, I implore you all to give me your thoughts, opinions, arguments, and critique. Stay tuned!!
