Welcome back to part 2 of our conversation on Rediscovering an African Identity with my co-host Dhani-Sinaan.

In this episode, I ask him about the terms "Black" vs "African American" and is there a preference between the two. We introduce you to a powerful book that documents the personal experiences of one man as he lives through the atrocities of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade. And we begin to explore the complexities of the critical race theory debate.

You will begin to see just how complex these issues are and how it will require each of us to take ownership of our reactions in order to create bridges that can bring communities together.

I encourage you to listen with an open heart and mind. Embrace the moments when you have a knee jerk reaction to something that we say, and then consciously explore those reactions for yourself with grace and authenticity.
