Being Black: Thoughts On The African vs. African American Experience with Brittney Caldwell

Cylinder Radio

In this episode of Cylinder Radio, I speak with fellow online educator Brittney Caldwell. Brittney is also a Black American who has lived and traveled in many African countries and shares her experiences on her platform Brittney in Africa.

During our conversation, we speak about a shared teaching project that Brittney and I did during the Covid-19 remote teaching time. We speak about Brittney’s decision to leave education and go to Africa. She tells her story of living and working in Kenya, the many misconceptions about African countries and what African immigrants think about American conceptualisations of “race”.

We also dive into the differences between African-American and African cultures, why it is important to remember that EVERYONE can have thoughts of racism and the crucial importance of travel to dispel such ignorance.
