Acerca de They Lied About Africa

You’ve heard the headlines. This is the part they erased. This podcast reclaims Africa’s truth, one story, one country, one bold episode at a time. Host Ndoumbe unpacks erased history, silenced voices, and the narratives we’ve all been complicit in. Africa is young, powerful, and full of beauty, if we’re willing to see it. Whether you’re here to remember, reconnect, or unlearn...welcome home.

Is Modest Fashion Misrepresenting African Culture?

In this episode, I sit down with Senegalese stylist and textile exploration artist Marième Mboup to unpack a question that feels simple, but isn’t: is modesty really a choice? Raised in Dakar, where modest dressing is lived, embodied, and culturally rooted, Marième brings a perspective that challenges how global fashion has reframed modesty as a trend, an aesthetic, and a market category. Together, we explore what gets lost when identity becomes content, who benefits from the commercialization of modest fashion, and how African Muslim women are reclaiming authorship in an industry that has long borrowed from them without credit. This is not just a conversation about fashion — it’s about power, narrative control, and redefining what freedom and creativity actually look like.

episode Apartheid Wasn't African. It Was American. artwork

Apartheid Wasn't African. It Was American.

Apartheid is often taught as a uniquely South African system, but the ideas that shaped it didn’t appear out of nowhere. In this episode of They Lied About Africa, we explore how apartheid was built from systems that already existed across the world, including American Jim Crow segregation, colonial governance structures, and racial classification laws. By looking at the global influences behind apartheid, we uncover how governments study, borrow, and adapt systems of power and control. This episode challenges the narrative that apartheid was simply an African problem and instead places it within a broader history of racial governance. Tune in to rethink what you thought you knew about apartheid and the global systems that helped shape it.

Who Really Controls African Money?

African countries are called “independent” — but independence isn’t just political.In this episode, we break down who really controls African money, why currency matters for development, and how systems created during colonial rule still shape African economies today.Using the CFA franc as a case study, this video essay explains:- What it means to control a currency- Why “stability” is often framed as help- and how economic power outlasts formal independenceThis isn’t conspiracy.It’s structure.If you’ve ever wondered why independence hasn’t meant economic freedom, this episode explains what most conversations leave out.Follow They Lied About Africa on Socials for more:Instagram: @theyliedaboutafricaTikTok: @theyliedaboutafrica
