In this thought-provoking podcast episode, Jyima and this week’s guest host Tezay engage in an enlightening discussion about their experiences with African culture and African American culture. Tezay, a Nigerian man who moved to the US, shares his initial perception of African Americans and the challenges he faced due to cultural differences. They discuss the impact of media representation and the stereotypes that both Africans and African Americans may hold about each other. Through their personal anecdotes, they emphasize the need for open communication and understanding to break down these misconceptions and foster better relationships.

The conversation also delves into the sensitive topic of police brutality and racism in the US compared to how authority figures are perceived in Africa. Tezay expresses shock at witnessing instances of mistreatment of black individuals by law enforcement purely based on their race. They touch on corruption within the Nigerian police force and the preference for that over the violence and racism they've witnessed in the US. Overall, the hosts underscore the importance of cultural exchange, self-awareness, and empathy to bridge the gap between African and African American cultures.
