After a fifteen-month hiatus, both hosts of Nyuki Podcast were thrilled to return to the mic, reconnecting with their audience and reflecting on the challenges they faced during their time away. In this episode, they tackled a deeply important issue that has long affected the African community: The Abusive Culture in the African Community.Throughout the discussion, they delved into the reasons this harmful cycle persists in African cultures, sometimes leading to tragic consequences in relationships, as seen in recent years. They explored the crucial role religious leaders can play in addressing this issue—educating the community, preventing abuse, and shifting attitudes away from protecting those who perpetuate such behavior.The hosts also expressed their hope that fellow immigrants and refugees who have experienced similar struggles would come forward to share their stories. Many still carry the weight of past trauma, shaped by painful experiences from an early age. The goal of this conversation was not only to share their own perspectives but also to encourage others to seek help, find support, and work toward healing.A special thanks to all of our viewers and listeners for continuing support!

The Middle East Institute at the National University of Singapore, in coordination with Wardah Books, invites you to join Dr Hisham A. Hellyer, a scholar in the Middle East Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace (USA), Dr Suzaina Kadir, Vice Dean and Associate Professor, Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, NUS and Mr Fazlur Rahman, a Muslim community leader for a discussion on the ‘indigenisation' of Islam as minorities, with reflections on the South African Capetonian Muslim community in general, and the example of the late Shaykh Seraj Hendricks, often referred to as the ‘Mufti of Cape Town'. Capetonian Muslims are indelibly impacted by South-east Asia, one of the main origins of Muslim South Africa, while deeply impacted by Western traditions. The community's history as a deeply integral component of South Africa, which was cut off from much of the world due to its earlier apartheid regime, has since become a focus of interest of many Muslim minority communities. Shaykh Seraj Hendricks was a contemporary South African Sufi shaykh and Islamic scholar who drew from his own Western education and training from sages and savants in Mecca, many of whom also taught numerous South-east Asian Muslim religious authorities.

How opening the door helps ALL women be seen and heard The importance of gatekeepers to open doors Why mentoring matters and how reverse mentoring is powerful Black women and visibility in the workplace Systemic inequalities and bias Allies and the skills that are really needed Today on the podcast we have an inspiring woman who is passionate about breaking down those inequalities that women of colour, black women and those from ethnic minorities face. Lucy Ndlovu is also an advocate for mentoring and believes that it is a game changer. We talk about the impact of role models and how often as a black woman comes a huge responsibility and the power of reverse mentoring - yes that means a CEO or director being mentored by someone possibly less senior so they can understand their lived experiences which would only serve to benefit them as individuals and allies but also the company as a whole. Lucy and I also share the impact of gatekeepers and how one man in New York changed Lucy's life forever when he literally opened the door for her. The story gave me goosebumps.

This week - in honor of Pride Month, we will be having Leon Mopecha to discuss “Their Life As A Nonbinary African” on episode 8. Though my discussion with Leon will be focused on their life and experience as a trans person, we will also be addressing the negative outlook, stereotypes, and discrimination faced by the LGBTQ+ community in our community. In many African countries, homosexuality is still taboo, with society holding conservative views on gender identities and roles. This translates into a considerably high level of intolerance and discrimination towards LGBTQ people. To overcome these issues faced by the LGBYQ+ community in our African Community, we hope that this conversation is better received than last year when we had this same discussion. All we ask for is more tolerance and respect towards the LGBTQ+ community and that you learn and unlearn a couple of things from listening to this episode. Meet Our Guest: Leon Mopecha (they/them) is a nonbinary creator and educator from Cameroon, living in the United States. They use gender-neutral they/them pronouns. Leon majored in Communications with a minor in Anthropology from Widener University. Their biggest passions are linguistics, immigration and travel, intercultural communication, filmmaking, animation, and literature. In all of these fields, Leon likes to apply their unique perspective as an individual from a very diverse background, speaking on how to make media more inclusive and truly representative of society, raising awareness about previously erased or suppressed histories, and encouraging literacy and multilingualism in youth and adults. Contact Leon: Instagram: @leon_thelion Things You Will Learn in This Episode: [00:01 – 03:00] Introduction Introducing our guest - Leon Mopecha [03:00 – 10:00] Anyoh Addresses Our Audience On LGBQT+ The reactions from last year's episodes on LGBTQ+ Why we need to have these conversations [10:00 – 50:00] Getting To Know Leon Leon's upbringing and how it impacted their gender identity Going through sexual abuse Leon's struggles with gender identity Dealing with family reactions, gossip, and discrimination from the community. How family members have changed their views and the support they offer now Addressing Discrimination & Promoting Love Leon's ‘coming out' story and how the family received it [50:00 – 1:10:00] Transitioning & Dealing With New Realities The transition process and how Leon dealt with it Body changes, hormone changes, and Leon's priority Learning how to live in America as a Trans-Black Man Dating life What we need to learn & unlearn [1:10:00 – 1:15:00] Final Words The need for respect and tolerance Leon's final words Anyoh's final words Tweetable Quotes “You may not support the members of the LGBTQ community, but I would plead with you to just respect them as humans first because we are human beings first before anything.” - Anyoh Fombad “What people advocate for when they advocate for LGBTQ+ rights – we're advocating not that everybody needs to suddenly become bisexual, but that there needs to be an acknowledgment that there are multiple kinds of sexuality and there are multiple kinds of gender identities.” - Leon Mopecha “There are more than enough examples of people that are members of the queer community of the LGBTQ plus community, that have family, jobs, are famous or successful, are scholars, activists, advocates, you know, firefighters, police, whatever, they're in every profession, all over the world, every culture, without exception.” - Leon Mopecha “My last call is just for us to show empathy, regardless of who we're dealing with; whether they're members of LGBTQ plus community or whatever community. As human beings first, it is our duty to show respect and empathy for one another.” - Anyoh Fombad LEAVE A REVIEW and tell us what you think about the episode so we can continue putting out the best content just for you!

Learning and understanding cultural norms outside our own can be an effective and meaningful way to evolve our business and lives. THIS WEEK'S TOPIC: In life and business, learning and understanding cultural norms outside our own can be an effective and meaningful way to expand upon your evolving company culture. The Pandemic has taught us some of this. For example, we will be discussing with cultural enthusiast Clara Matonhodze Strode the Concept of Ubuntu. Clara grew up in Ubuntu culture and had the lived experience of what Ubuntu systems and culture look like in society. Ubuntu principles operate from our human core, acknowledging and appreciating the dignity in each of us and how it makes us wiser and more robust. In Ubuntu culture, Justice is restorative, and contrary to popular belief, women are exalted as Mothers of humankind. Relationships are on the continuum of humanity, and society is on a journey of constant improvement, love, support, and encouragement.Listeners will take away: The Principles of Ubuntu/hunhu in African CultureHow Ubuntu/hunhu can be applied in everyday life and businessUnderstand the African origins of Ubuntu/hunhu within public and private intellectual discussions and whether or not Hunhu/Ubuntu can compete with other philosophical world views. THIS WEEK'S GUEST: Clara Matonhodze Strode has been a Member of Together Digital for the past three years, Most recently serving as an Advisory Board Member. When she's not active in our community, she is the Founder of The MCS Agency, a digital marketing communications agency that helps clients clearly and effectively communicate their messages to the right audiences by using an integrated mix of tactics, strategies, and SAAS products. Clara proudly employs the principles of Ubuntu in her business. Before starting her own business, Clara worked at multiple organizations, including The Cincinnati Museum Center, where she directed Adult and Cultural lectures and large-scale festivals. Her roots run deep within the African Immigrant Community, where for years, she convened the Africa Foundation-USA Annual Symposium with Xavier University, bringing together leaders within the African Community. Clara is also a Co-Founder and ex-officio of the Pan-African group - APNET (African Professionals Network). Recently she received a leadership award from Global Diaspora One Voice Consortium. In true ubuntu fashion, Clara can be found assisting not only African causes but the Indian Film Festival of Cincinnati, Cincinnati Sister Cities International, where she serves as Secretary and was a key community partner for Cincinnati Compass.

How opening the door helps ALL women be seen and heard The importance of gatekeepers to open doors Why mentoring matters and how reverse mentoring is powerful Black women and visibility in the workplace Systemic inequalities and bias Allies and the skills that are really needed Today on the podcast we have an inspiring woman who is passionate about breaking down those inequalities that women of colour, black women and those from ethnic minorities face. Lucy Ndlovu is also an advocate for mentoring and believes that it is a game changer. We talk about the impact of role models and how often as a black woman comes a huge responsibility and the power of reverse mentoring - yes that means a CEO or director being mentored by someone possibly less senior so they can understand their lived experiences which would only serve to benefit them as individuals and allies but also the company as a whole. Lucy and I also share the impact of gatekeepers and how one man in New York changed Lucy’s life forever when he literally opened the door for her. The story gave me goosebumps. Keep listening, you don't want to miss this one. “Open the door and then leave it open for others to follow” - Lucy Ndlovu Don’t forget you can get my monthly NEWSLETTER that shares the latest around the gender pay gap, book recommendations and good practices that are happening all over the place that support more women to step up and be recognised for the value they bring.

There are resources and professionals that can help you, if you are suffering from mental health problems.

How to nurture a healthy relationship with life experiences, particularly undesirable, uncomfortable or unfavorable ones, is best captured in Pema Chodron's quote “Nothing ever goes away until it teaches us what we need to know.” However, setbacks may lead to more setbacks for those with under-developed executive function including a lack of self-awareness, rigidity and a failure to problem solve. On this episode, the former Head of Executive Leadership Development at Nike and author of “Flourish or Fold: The Five Practices of Particularly Resilient People” Dr. Taryn Marie Stejskal discusses ways to leverage the wisdom gleaned from decades of research on resilience. She shares how each and everyone of us can prioritize strengthening resilience through a shift in mindset and by inculcating specific practices so that we can rise above personal adversities.About Dr. Taryn Marie StejskalDr. Taryn Marie is a foremost international expert on resilience, in both leadership and life.

On this episode we discussed Mental Health in our African community. We start by defining Mental Health as its definition is often distorted in our community. Which creates a lot of stigma surrounding Mental Health in our communities leading to prejudice and discrimination. We also tackle the subject of Depression and Suicide which are very common mental health issues that are plaguing the world today. We must normalize mental health and illnesses in order to break this stigma. This will requires raising awareness, supporting and sharing stories of people struggling with their mental health, and investing more money in this sector to improve care and access to mental health resources.For Business and Sponsorship inquiries please contact us at: weareafrosistas@gmail.com Connect with us:Instagram: @weareafrosistas (https://www.instagram.com/weareafrosistas/)Linktree: https://linktr.ee/AfrosistasPodcast Platform: ITunes Podcast: Speak Up with AfroSistasSpotify: Speak Up with AfroSistasBuzzSprout: Speak Up with AfroSistasLove,AfroSistas

In his new book In Our Own Way In this Part of the World: Biography of an African Community, Culture and Nation (Duke University Press, 2019), Kwasi Konadu tells the story Kofi Donko (1913-1995) and the many communities he served as a blacksmith, healer, farmer, leader and intellectual. The book starts by describing the ontological universe that gave historical and social substance to the work of Kofi Donko, and traces the ways in which this universe remained central to the wellbeing of many communities in the Gold Coast (later Ghana) as they faced ecological degradation as well as social and political dislocation. In spite of its social value, much of the knowledge and the institutions sustained and led by men like Kofi Donko were sidelined in the process of nation-building. Thus, even after independence, leaders such as Kwame Nkrumah continued to ignore the carefully researched and collected knowledge of local intellectuals. Konadu argues that this deliberate ignorance not only deprived the new nation from proven models for building and caring for community, but that the world at large has much to learn from the ideas and experiences of healers such as Kofi Donko. Esperanza Brizuela-Garcia is Associate Professor of History at Montclair State University.

The book starts by describing the ontological universe that gave historical and social substance to the work of Kofi Donko, and traces the ways in which this universe remained central to the wellbeing of many communities in the Gold Coast (later Ghana) as they faced ecological degradation as well as social and political dislocation. In spite of its social value, much of the knowledge and the institutions sustained and led by men like Kofi Donko were sidelined in the process of nation-building. Thus, even after independence, leaders such as Kwame Nkrumah continued to ignore the carefully researched and collected knowledge of local intellectuals. Konadu argues that this deliberate ignorance not only deprived the new nation from proven models for building and caring for community, but that the world at large has much to learn from the ideas and experiences of healers such as Kofi Donko.

In this episode we dive into what mental health issues look like in the African community. We discuss how things with mental health are always framed as western (or white people) problems. We both share our struggles with mental health and some of the things that have happened in our lives to cause them. Lastly, we offer some steps for the African community to make steps towards de-stigmatizing mental health issues.
It’s about time we set aside culture and pride to recognize the dangers of allowing mental health to go unnoticed. Let’s have a healthy conversation

Is your life more about making money or making an impact? Do we all have a platform to change the world, or just the politicians and celebrities? African Community & Conservation Foundation CEO Brady Forseth joins us to talk about his amazing work with the ACCF, as well as the Starkey Foundation and other nonprofits he’s led and been a part of. In this episode, Brady talks about why he calls fundraising “friend-raising,” why he prefers “co-opetition” to competition, and why he believes that the best way to help people is to teach them how to fish instead of giving them a fish. You learn the power of being purposeful with the people you surround yourself with, approaching life with a team vs. individual mindset, and doing the right things for the right reasons. You’ll also hear the amazing story of how Brady helped bring peace to the Middle East, as well as how you can help support his efforts through this podcast!
On today's episode we talk to Brady Forseth from the Starkey Hearing Foundation and most recently the African Community & Conservation Foundation. He shares how he, with a team made the Starkey Hearing Foundation gala become an event that raises over $10 million in one night.

While the African community in Guangzhou has taken to the streets to protest the suspicious death of a foreign national in police custody, the Chinese internet has proven equally volatile as gruesome photos of a late-stage abortion have circulated online to the shock and horror of many netizens. This week, Sinica turns its attention to both events, but mostly to the one-child policy, as we discuss first the history of China's family-planning restrictions and then the political forces within China arrayed for and against the status quo. Trying to steer the discussion through these controversial waters is your host Kaiser Kuo, who is joined in our studio by Alexa Olesen, a long-time China watcher and journalist for the Associated Press who has written extensively on how China's family-planning policies work at the local level. We're also delighted to be joined by Evan Osnos, a staff writer for the The New Yorker, who has covered the African community in Guangzhou. Conspicuously absent for the second week running is Sinica's co-host, Jeremy Goldkorn, who, any minute now — and probably by the time you're reading this — will have become father to a baby girl named Viola!
On this episode, an Imam for the west African Community; complaints and perspectives about the 2010 census; medical advancements and healthy meals for dogs; plus a sculptor commemorates man's best friend.
