Welcome to Part 2 on our conversation about Racism in Africa, with Muma Sinkala. I love speaking to Muma because she is not afraid to call a spade a spade. If you have not see the first episode on this topic, make sure you go watch it first.
Last week our conversation covered colonialism, African dependency on white saviours and Africans being the gatekeepers. This week we spoke about what we as Africans can do to curb racism on our continent.
"A great disservice is the African history we learn in schools is written by foreigners"
"Visitors to the continent should question why they cannot assimilate in Africa yet manage everywhere else"
"Change starts with individuals. Do the research, read and evaluate why you behave certain ways and think certain things."
