On Being Raised African in America: Double or Triple Consciousness (#SabiSunday w/ @igboclassauntychi)

<p>In this bonus episode, I was interviewed by Chinwe of Aunty Chi's Igbo Class (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/igboclassauntychi/">@igboclassauntychi</a>). We shared a light discussion about my experiences being raised with African, specifically Nigerian, upbringing in the United States, and how I feel that growing up with these multiple cultural identities have shaped my worldview today. I highlighted the importance of young people being intentional about studying their native languages and cultural heritages and expressed my appreciation to all those that are championing efforts to teaching African languages, especially my mother tongue, Igbo. &nbsp;Stay tuned for a more in-depth discussion when she and I chat again!&nbsp;</p> <p>Go to our YouTube page or Instagram to watch the live video interview: <a href="https://youtu.be/8A2NlOUXi-M">https://youtu.be/8A2NlOUXi-M</a>.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;--&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>If you would like to learn the Igbo language, you may contact Chinwe <a href="https://www.instagram.com/igboclassauntychi/">@igboclassauntychi</a> on Instagram.
