The Tribe Kin Podcast - Episode #3 - Juneteenth

The Tribe Kin Podcast - Season finale - Kwanzaa

My people !!! TTK podcast is coming back for a 2nd season in 2026. Thank for your time and support and stay tuned ! Kwanzaa is often misunderstood or overlooked, yet it was born from a powerful historical moment. Created in 1966 by Dr. Maulana Karenga, Kwanzaa emerged in the aftermath of the Watts Rebellion and during a period of intense state repression against Black liberation movements in the United States. In this episode, we explore Kwanzaa as a cultural and political response to fragmentation. Drawing from historical archives, critical Black scholarship, and contemporary Black writers, this conversation reconnects Kwanzaa to its original purpose: resistance through culture, solidarity through action, and remembrance as a form of power. Beyond celebration, Kwanzaa invites us to live intentionally, support one another, and recognize ourselves as carriers of ancestral knowledge and collective memory.

The Tribe Kin Podcast - Episode #4 - Not from here, nor there - The case of an Afro-descendant born in France

In this intimate conversation, I sit down with a woman born in France to African parents to explore what it means to grow up between cultures. We dive into the complexities of identity, belonging, and heritage—discussing how her African roots shaped her worldview while navigating life in a European society. From cultural pride to moments of disconnection, we reflect on the challenges and beauty of carrying two worlds within oneself.

Juneteenth marks the moment in 1865 when the last enslaved Black Americans were told they were free—two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation. But freedom didn’t arrive with a parade. It came late, and the system that upheld slavery never truly disappeared.

The Tribe Kin Podcast - Episode #1 - We don't have to be identical to be united

In this episode, we explored the tensions and misunderstandings that can exist within the global Black community—between continental Africans and Afro-descendants in the Americas and the Caribbean... We looked at where those divides come from: colonial histories, forced migrations, religion, class, and proximity to whiteness. But more importantly, we opened up space for something deeper—recognition. Recognition that difference is not division. Hope you will enjoy this episode !
