episode Ep. 65: Recongizing Our Differences in a Beautiful Way - BONUS ROUND with Chika Oduah cover

Ep. 65: Recongizing Our Differences in a Beautiful Way - BONUS ROUND with Chika Oduah

In this part of the conversation, Chika discusses her shift from mainstream journalism to founding Zikora Media and Arts, an organization aimed at presenting complex, authentic African narratives. Motivated by a desire to move beyond the stereotypical portrayals often found in traditional media, Chika established Zikora as both a media production company and cultural institution. Its projects, such as Diaspora Magazine, offer Africans living abroad a platform to share personal stories on diverse themes, from facing racism to preserving cultural identity. Chika supports contributors throughout the writing process, helping them shape these narratives with an emphasis on the full human experience, both struggles and joys. Mike, inspired by Chika’s work, expresses his own vision for a project focused on the Pacific Islands. His aim is to build a platform that fosters deeper understanding of the region's unique post-colonial realities and cultural resilience. Both Chika and Mike acknowledge that colonial history cannot be separated from present-day narratives; rather, they seek to explore this complex legacy with nuance. Their projects reflect a form of cultural entrepreneurship that amplifies local voices and honors the intricate connections between historical influences and current identities in Africa and the Pacific.

Building Bridges Unscripted - Ep. 10: I'm Done!!

Welcome to the final episode of the Building Bridges Unscripted series! Mike pulls back the curtain, giving listeners an inside look at the journey of being an indie author and publisher. From his typesetter who donned a Superman cape to meet the deadline, to the predictably "helpful" feedback from his editor, Mike shares it all—including a few words about Taylor Swift, who just might come knocking for royalties after being quoted in the book!

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
Bra app. Oversiktlig og ryddig. MYE bra innhold⭐️⭐️⭐️
