Too often, conversations about Africa are centered on struggle—but that’s only part of the story. In this powerful and affirming episode, the Ladies of SOSA flip the narrative and spotlight everything Africa got right.

From the brilliance of ancient empires and world-shaping innovations to rich cultural traditions, modern tech revolutions, and the rise of a dynamic, young generation—Africa’s story is one of strength, strategy, soul, and survival.

Joined by a vibrant panel, we reflect on our shared pride, unpack the roots of African excellence, and explore what it means to carry this legacy forward as members of the diaspora.

This episode is a love letter to the continent. A celebration of who we are, where we come from, and what’s possible when we reclaim our full story.

In this powerful and soul-stirring episode, the Ladies of SOSA take a deep dive into the lesser-known history of the East African slave trade—a system that lasted centuries and reshaped entire communities from Sudan to Zanzibar.

We explore the African side of the story:

• How coastal cities became hubs for enslaved people,
• The complex roles played by Arab traders and local chiefs,
• And how this history connects to modern-day exploitation through systems like kafala in the Arab world today.

We also reflect on the transatlantic slave trade, drawing connections between freedom struggles across the Black world—and the importance of Juneteenth as a global reminder that freedom has always been fought for, not freely given.

Join us as we untangle the legacy of slavery across continents, reclaim forgotten stories, and hold space for healing, truth, and transformation.
