Most of us are aware of how badly represented Africa is. The continent is too often reduced to a number of degrading stereotypes. But Africa has a rich and diverse history. A history that is usually ignored or poorly understood not just by the world but by (sometimes) its own people.

Take my hand, as I guide you down the pathways of Africa's supposed night covered past. Allow me to show you her numerous and diverse people, their perspectives, religion, and their stories. Hosted by David Ibanda( a devoted student of African history with a penchant for Corny jokes) Follow podcast instagram page at @twcbupod. more
