Valentine's Day Greetings Glocal Citizens! It's happy hearts day and this week's episode is especially close to my heart because we're talking learning and language, culture and heritage in multigenerational diaspora communities across the globe. Dr. Taiye Ayoola-Adedeji, a Nigerian-American Pharmacist and recently the CEO of her publishing company, Taikun Publishing, is the author of the innovative, educational and interactive Yoruba-English bilingual book titled, The Yoruba Sound Book for Children, which was successfully launched in April 2022. Currently based in Maryland, Dr. Taiye earned her Doctor of Pharmacy degree from the University of Maryland, School of Pharmacy, a top institution in the U.S. Although she migrated to the US at a relatively young age, she is fortunate to have spent her early formative years in Nigeria where she was truly able to gain appreciation for the Yoruba culture and language. As a mother wanting her own children to also value their cultural heritage, she is even more resolute about finding innovative ways to pass on the rich culture and instilling in them a sense of pride about their great ancestry, cultural heritage and identity. Dr. Taiye is passionate about preserving and promoting the Yoruba language and culture, particularly in the diaspora where comprehensive resources to teach or learn the tonal Yoruba language are limited. We say cheers to continued success with works in Yoruba and other African languages! Special thanks to GC 83, Ivonne Cameron (https://glocalcitizens.fireside.fm/guests/ivonne-cameron) for making the connection.

Missiology - what is that? If you have an interest in missions, leadership of missions, or are going into missions, you must know some basic principles of missiology. Sound, biblical principles and practice of missiology will be the lens for your understanding and evaluation of missions ministry.

I think that it could be very important to those who are willing to study and work in other countries for years. I mean, two reasons. No.1, the language is the basic, if you want to do well in your work and study, the language is the most important thing that you have to learn well. Like English, Spanish for example. No.2, the culture, which in my consideration, include eating habit, the way we speak and behave, the festivals you know. All of these can be equally important to us. Before traveling to another country, we should try to get ready for it. So, I think that it seems very very very necessary to have a deep insight into the culture and language before going to another region of the world. That is it.
