From Ghana to Gambia on a bus to explore Pan Africanism + Femicide hits the US news

Kehinde returns to vividly recounts his 2-week journey through West Africa's complex landscape from the Library of Africa and the African Diaspora in Accra, Ghana to the Convention for Afrikan People in Banjul, Gambia. Friend of the pod, newly minted Dr Erika Brown, joins to discuss the 3,000km trip. From harrowing slave castles in Ghana to border crossings that can take hours Kehinde's personal reflections offer a raw, unfiltered view on what it truly means to witness disparities of wealth, infrastructure, and opportunity firsthand—and how these scars shape the collective psyche of the continent.

Before they get into the conversation Erika catches Kehinde up on what has happened since he has been away, discussing the recent media stories of femicide in the US and the pitfalls of financial literacy.
