Description

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!

EP 37 - Can Your Kids Survive?
In This Episode: I was watching a documentary a few weeks ago and was surprised when I found out that a lot of children between the ages of 9 & 13 could not tell the time on an analog clock, only on a digital clock. It made me wonder whether the advancement in technology is doing our children more harm than good. Growing up in Africa, we are taught to handle things with and without the assistance of technology. This is what informed the quote ‘Throw an African man anywhere and he will learn to adapt’ to life.

It’s the London premiere of a feature film that I co-produced and play the lead role in. I have played the lead role in very many movies over the last 2 decades, but this one is extra special because it was filmed with the intention of changing how African’s are viewed and portrayed in the entertainment industry.Mentioned In This Episode:1.‘Between’- The Movie: https://www.indextwostudios.com/between2.

EP 43 - The Relationship Between India & Africa
In This Episode: I was watching a documentary with my husband a while ago, and we were shocked to see an Indian and an African getting married. I have always wondered why it’s so rare to find such a union. Is there some underlying issue between Indians and Africans? We have so much in common, so why is there such a great divide?Mentioned In This Episode:1. Excuse My African Blog: https://www.stelladamasusblog.com/2017/04/excuse-my-african.html2.

EP 42 - Not All African Immigrants Are Illegal
In This Episode: I was absolutely shocked by an article I read on Flipboard, and I just had to share it with you all.NOT ALL AFRICAN IMMIGRANTS ARE ILLEGAL !!!It is wrong to assume that any African you speak to, is an illegal immigrant. Not all Africans aim to make you fall in love with them so that they can marry you for a green card. There are very many legal, educated and hardworking Africans, living in the USA.

EP 41 - Raising Confident Kids
In This Episode: These days it seems as if the world is getting a little too ‘in their feelings’. I was watching the news a few weeks ago, and they were talking about a lady who was pissed that even though her kids didn’t make it to the top 3 in a competition, they didn’t get trophies. So she decided to buy trophies for them by herself.It got me thinking, are we (especially the people outside Africa) raising our kids to be too emotional? Are we raising them to be able to handle the real world? I don’t know about you, but I will raise my kids in the African way. To be confident in themselves whether they win or not, and to learn to work harder to achieve their goals; instead of rewarding them when they really do not deserve it. Mentioned In This Episode:1.

EP 40 - Marriage & Contracts
In This Episode: A while ago I was watching TV, and the news came on about a very popular female musician in America. She had just gotten a divorce from her husband, and was asked to pay him $50,000 every month in ‘Spousal Support’!I was shocked beyond words because I could not imagine this happening in Africa. African men are raised to be very independent, and they tend to be slightly egotistical. I was so sure this could not happen in Africa, so I decided to do some research and was surprised by what I found out. Mentioned In This Episode:1.

But did you know that according to the UNHCR, “Sub-Saharan Africa hosts more than 26 percent of the world’s refugee population” !!!

EP 36 - Gender Neutrality
In This Episode: About a week ago, my daughters went to an ‘anti-prom party’ in the city and they had a blast! However, of all the memories they made that night, the one that would probably never leave her mind was when she had to use the bathroom only to realize that the bathrooms at the venue were gender neutral. I believe that everyone should be allowed to live their truth and be themselves freely, but do you think maybe allowing young boys and girls, who are in the stage of discovery and curiosity; use the same bathroom at the same time might just be taking it too far?Mentioned In This Episode:1.
