Today on the podcast, Vanessa brings in her first guest, Ugo Mozie; (bio) to help her discuss the African Influence on Global Culture. Frustrated with African Culture being “trendy” but not properly understood or represented, Ugo and Vanessa share their perspectives while talking about their own life experiences. They also give us a peak behind the scenes to the underbelly of the world of fashion and music. What is missing in the representation? More strategies and a call for how the people of Africa can represent themselves properly and change how they are viewed. The end of empty African appropriation is a positive movement and the time is now.
