Host Jeremy C. Park talks with Alissa Rosebrough, Executive Director of Arise Africa, who highlights the nonprofit organization empowering Zambia's next generation through education, shelter, and love. Arise Africa is committed to helping children live a life that God desires for all mankind by serving the children of Zambia who are suffering from economic, physical, and spiritual poverty through a Christ-centered approach involving full-time care, education, discipleship, and feeding programs.During the interview, Alissa shares how her career as a photographer led her to Zambia and how life-changing experiences in the country led her and her friend, John Rosacker, to form the nonprofit organization in 2010. Alissa shares the story of how the organization's efforts have grown over the last 15 years to serve around 700 kids and details the model where their American teams serve as outside support, helping to create an environment where the local Zambian team can survive and thrive embracing the rich legacy of their culture. Alissa shares some of the many success stories of youth growing up in their homes and schools to escape poverty, enroll in international universities, and become successful professionals who return home to help lead and create positive transformation in the community. She talks about the rich culture of Zambia and their happiness and sense of community where everyone takes care of each other, yet the poverty that permeates the area where Arise Africa serves. She talks about the many ways the community can support their efforts through financial donations, sponsorships, partnerships, and mission trips. She uses Higginbotham Insurance and Financial Services as an example of how companies can come alongside Arise Africa and partner to serve locally, financially support their programs, and send teams on mission trips to Zambia to experience the magic of building relationships with the kids and staff while helping to build facilities that will impact the community for years to come.Visit https://www.ariseafrica.org to learn more and get involved with Arise Africa.

Pelumi Nubi might just be the inspiration you need to go on your next adventure alone. She is proof that you don't need much to go far, and doing it solo can build strength and resilience. Recently, Pelumi drove from London to Lagos, connecting the two places she calls home. She undertook this 6,200 mile journey in her tiny, 12 year old, Peugeot 107, passing through 17 countries, taking on some difficult border crossings and regularly sleeping in her car. She wanted to show what could be possible by a black, female, solo traveller using the things she had, even if her car was not exactly designed for such a journey. Her story is proof that anyone can go on a grand adventure using what they already have. In our conversation we discuss how Pelumi originally pursued a career in science, how solo travel helped her navigate a new path in life, how she views her life in ‘chapters', how she felt sleeping alone in her car in foreign lands, how she managed the many border crossings in Africa, riding the ‘Snake of the Sahara' in Mauritania, surviving a horrific car crash, and why she chose to spend her time and money fixing a car that should have been written off.

Hello everyone! It's the most wonderful time of year, so Lara and I decided to take a creative approach on “the gift that keeps on giving.” In our case, this is the gift of our favorite mission organization Arise Africa and, of course, the Taylor Swift/Travis Kelse romance. All we want for Christmas is for some kids to get sponsored and for this love story to be played out for us to live vicariously through on social media! Is that too much to ask, Santa? I think not!

Hello everyone! It's day four of our mission trip, and I had the privilege of sitting down with Angela and Lucy, who works at the MacDonald Brown School. This is where most of our days are spent helping build the library, among other things. Angela and Lucy are amazing women. How do I know? Because they managed to get an entire school of Zambians to sing to Lara on her birthday. Was there a dry eye in the house? No there was not. Never fear. I have the audio and you'll hear it for yourself. Prepare to feel all the feels! EPISODE NOTES: Click HERE to learn more about sponsoring a child from Arise Africa.

Hello everyone! Well, it's day three of our mission trip, and guess what? I don't cry once in this episode. Did I cry during the day? Of course, I did. But there were no tears on the podcast. I consider that growth. In this episode, I had the privilege of sitting down with Country Director Noah Lungu. He shares the mission and vision of Arise Africa, and sheds a little more light on the the resource center in Matero. Fun fact: We also give Noah a new nickname, which is L-O-V-E-S! He didn't technically tell me that, but I could tell the name will live on long after I'm gone. EPISODE NOTES: Click HERE to learn more about sponsoring a child from Arise Africa.

Hello everyone! Well, it's day two of our mission trip. Do I cry in this episode? Technically, there were tears, but due to what I imagine is a bit of dehydration thanks to the Zambian heat, I didn't bawl like yesterday. You're welcome. I sat down with Ryan and Krystal Scott to discuss their experience sponsoring a child through Arise Africa. Then their children August, Matilda, and Ruby joined the conversation, and things got really interesting. You're going to love this one!

Arise Africa, Roar China: Black and Chinese Citizens of the World in the Twentieth Century (UNC Press, 2021) explores the close relationships between three of the most famous twentieth-century African Americans, W. E. B. Du Bois, Paul Robeson, and Langston Hughes, and their little-known Chinese allies during World War II and the Cold War--journalist, musician, and Christian activist Liu Liangmo, and Sino-Caribbean dancer-choreographer Sylvia Si-lan Chen. Charting a new path in the study of Sino-American relations, Gao Yunxiang foregrounds African Americans, combining the study of Black internationalism and the experiences of Chinese Americans with a transpacific narrative and an understanding of the global remaking of China's modern popular culture and politics. Gao reveals earlier and more widespread interactions between Chinese and African American leftists than accounts of the familiar alliance between the Black radicals and the Maoist Chinese would have us believe. The book's multilingual approach draws from massive yet rarely used archival streams in China and in Chinatowns and elsewhere in the United States. These materials allow Gao to retell the well-known stories of Du Bois, Robeson, and Hughes alongside the sagas of Liu and Chen in a work that will transform and redefine Afro-Asia studies.
