Encouraging Africans to read, write, do business, science and technology in their own languages.
I interview Shahidah Foster, found of Black Girls Learn Languages for the African Growth Opportunities Podcast. Shahidah seeks to raise awareness of multilingual black women of the African diaspora as well as in Africa. She wants to help those who are monolingual become multi- or bilingual. She also wants to show how easy it is to learn an additional language and how that can expose people to even more opportunities than you already have access to.
Our interview is with the founder of DiasporAfri, Ndidi Nwakalor. DiasporAfri is a blog where people of African descent all over the world can feel loved, appreciated, and uplifted! Highlighting African, African-American, and Caribbean culture for all the world to see! Ms. Nwakalor is a woman with a unique cultural experience. Having both and African dad and African-American mom; she strives to see the diaspora come together in a new and powerful way. She has traveled to many places in the world and appreciate the unique experiences that people of African descent bring to the world. Africa has been her favorite place and Africa shares so much culture with people of African descent in the rest of the world. Positive light is shed on the DisaporAfri blog. She desires to make people think, learn, and spark an interest that will help others explore even more. The DiasporAfri blog can be found at ndidilove.tumblr.com
