  • The Policing of Blackness | What Does It Mean To Be Black & Who Gets To Decide?
    Oct 15 2024

    In this part one of this episode of Ladies of SOSA, we delve into the intricacies of "Policing Blackness" across the Black diaspora, unpacking the historical, cultural, and modern-day tensions that shape identity. By exploring the legacy of colonialism, migration, and the varied experiences of African Americans, Africans, and Afro-Caribbeans, we confront the reasons behind the gatekeeping of Blackness. From the divisive comments made by Burna Boy on African American culture to the global rise of genres like Hip Hop and Amapiano, we examine how culture becomes a battleground for identity. Through nuanced discussions with our diverse guests, we ask the critical question: how can we foster unity while honoring the diverse experiences within the Black community? 🤔 Let's discuss!

  • My Early Life | An Orphaned African Girl's Story of Triumph After Loss
    Oct 7 2024

    Hey Sosa Fam! Join us as we interview Fatima Barry, a Guinean author, regarding her autobiography titled "My Early Life".

    This is a story of a unique African girl born in a small western nation and into a tribal culture, one with meager assets and opportunities.
    She is to face enumerable disadvantages, including: early, unwanted invitations to marry; early losses of her basic family unit; being raised as a working girl away from her village and lacking any support or help to be schooled.
    What she does have is a marked intelligence; faith that she will succeed; the temperament of being kind to all she meets: and the ultimate knowing, with a little patience and occasional discussions with God; achievement is not only possible: but is to be her way through to a satisfactory life.
    One can hardly read this autobiography without feeling the elan that surely she will succeed as she take us on the pathway of this journey.
    It is a consuming adventure to accompany this Fatima Barry and note how she does it.

    . . . Dr. Mike O'Brien, Austin, Tx
