About this episode

This episode discusses the importance of healing and independence for Black African people in the context of African American museums and the manipulation of historical narratives.

If you cannot psycho analyze the manipulation of the past, how can we detect the pattern of manipulation in the present. This episode focuses on the need for Black African people to put healing and independence before fear of conflict. Just like sadness is a needed emotion, shame is what drives change in evolving mindsets.
