On Identity in the Black Community: Conversations w/ a "Regular Black" Girl (Toynia Edmond)

**I apologize for the poor sound quality. Promise to work on improving this for subsequent episodes.**  In this episode, I'm joined by my friend, Toynia Edmond, and we discuss how we identify as black Americans in the diaspora and our differences and similarities from the Black American and Nigerian-American perspectives. Some of the topics we discussed were what home means to us, how we relate with other members of the diaspora, some stereotypes we may have heard about each other, the Year of Return 2019, and what are some ways we can bridge the gap between the continent and the diaspora.  Join us in the discussion.
