Podcast Chronicles the Black Experience in Hong Kong and Asia Marta Colombo
HONG KONG – If you had a time machine, would you go into the past or into the future? asks hosts Marie-Louisa Awolaja and Folahan Sowole, aka Lou and the Fantastic Fo, to one of their interviewees on a recent episode of their podcast, HomeGrown. Black people have suffered enough in the past, what am I going to do back there? There s nothing there for us, I m going into the future, guest Katakyie Ofori-Atta answers while laughing. That s optimistic, says Sowole, also laughing.
The exchange encapsulates the lighthearted approach to discussing serious topics in HomeGrown, which British-Nigerian millennials Awolaja and Sowole recently launched in Hong Kong to create a platform to inform and inspire the Black expatriate community in the city.
