Welcome to Black History Month!
Usually what people celebrate during this period are the achievements of African-Americans after the slave trade, or how they persevered through slavery.
However, a lot of people do not know about the great things and great people that lived in Africa before the slave trade.

Excuse My African
10/05/18 • 7 min
In This Episode: Over the years, I have watched the media portray Africa and Africans in usually the most horrible light. But, the truth is that there is so much more Africa has to offer. We are much more than they want you to believe. Mentioned In This Episode: 1. Vaseline: https://www.vaseline.com/us/en/ 2. Forbes: https://www.forbes.com/#49eb72fc2254 3.

EP 39 - Should I Say Sorry?
Excuse My African
08/03/18 • 7 min
In This Episode: In Africa, saying sorry to people is a normal thing. We say sorry when we do something wrong but we also say sorry to show compassion and sympathy. It's a part of who we are. However, after some years of living in America, I was shocked to realize that 'sorry' to people here means a whole other thing!

Excuse My African
12/04/20 • 10 min
In This Episode:
2020 has been one heck of a year, and Africa is one continent that felt the brunt of it. From the pandemic to genocides, massacres, poverty, hunger, and a lot more.
The beautiful continent of Africa has been in crisis, and it's significantly due to bad governance. I feel that we Africans, especially us in the diaspora, should come together to find a solution. How can we join forces with our brothers and sisters in Africa to build our continent back to greatness?

EP 86 - Dehumanizing Women In Africa
Excuse My African
05/07/21 • 11 min
In This Episode:
For the longest time, women have been treated poorly around the world, but especially in Africa. A lot of us have been fighting for the rights of WOMEN in Africa for decades. However, at the time, advocacy wasn't an 'in thing.' We were insulted and referred to as what is known as 'clout chasers.'
Now, advocacy seems to be an in, and every other day there is a new hashtag. While this is great, because the louder the voice, the better, we need to make sure that we are not just making noise and chasing our tails. We need to change tactics and look inward; change will begin with society first.

EP 11 - The African Natural Life
Excuse My African
11/10/17 • 14 min
In This Episode:
My grandfather lived to be over 100 years old. I always wondered how he made it so far, until one day it hit me. Even in his 80’s and 90’s he would go all the way to his farm to get fresh ingredients to cook.
He never used a microwave or ate canned or processed foods. He and my grandmother always turned to natural remedies when they were ill, which they rarely were.
My grandparents were all about the ‘organic life’. Isn’t it funny how the world is coming back to this lifestyle? Organic foods, Natural Hair, Natural Remedies.
The world is gradually returning to 'The African Natural Life’.
