In this part one of this episode of Ladies of SOSA, we delve into the intricacies of "Policing Blackness" across the Black diaspora, unpacking the historical, cultural, and modern-day tensions that shape identity. By exploring the legacy of colonialism, migration, and the varied experiences of African Americans, Africans, and Afro-Caribbeans, we confront the reasons behind the gatekeeping of Blackness. From the divisive comments made by Burna Boy on African American culture to the global rise of genres like Hip Hop and Amapiano, we examine how culture becomes a battleground for identity. Through nuanced discussions with our diverse guests, we ask the critical question: how can we foster unity while honoring the diverse experiences within the Black community? 🤔 Let's discuss!
