Matembezi, Swahili for "short journey", is our collection of updates from the HiA Network, our guests on Sema Live, some Global African highlights, all wrapped up in a few African minutes!
In this episode we open the year with a recap on the stories from our most recent guests where we discussed: intergenerational solidarity; movement texts as anti colonial theory; a debut novelist book The Colour of the Sun and our session marking World Mental Health Day.
We touch on environmental issues in light of the recent floods in Nigeria, looking at whether a recasting of the issue as a form of global development may assist the need for a truly collective response. And what discussion at this time can leave out Chat GPT. We discuss the implications of such technological advancements generally, but also specific to intellectual property and to Global Africa. We also draw attention to our upcoming discussions with elected members of the United Nation's newly inaugurated Advisory Body the Permanent Forum on Peoples of African Descent (Out soon!!!)
Join us as we probe, push and pull, to amplify Global African voices and narratives; embodying our African oral tradition of sitting around the proverbial tree to share knowledge, wisdom, and experiences, through the spoken word.
Along the journey we ask: what does this all mean for Global Africa?
