Covid-19 - life in this crisis from different parts of the world
For this worldwide episode, we have guests Kai and Glenn, both born in Zimbabwe and now residing in the Netherlands and the UAE. Beyond their experience with the coronavirus and its impact on their personal life we have another point on the agenda: racism and the black lives matter movement. As they open up about their views and feelings, we get to learn more about how it has been for them to adjust to a life in a society that is dominated by white people & their culture. Together we discuss the reason statues of slave traders should be taken down without a doubt as well as teir experiences with their white friend groups or an interracial relationship. Enjoy listening and make sure to check out their own passion projects: Kai's newly released album (https://bit.ly/3e5l2YY) and Glenn's podcast (https://spoti.fi/2B5r25j) // Follow us on Instagram to connect and find similar stories: @comeoneileenpodcast --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kilo-hotel5/message
