And we explore that im going copper tree lined up with d. J. Kampung that you clearly. But fast let me ask you a question who gets to decide how a free car and its history is put treat up until this point in time most teams 3 books on africa have been returned from a Western Point of view for children especially there are very few books which tell the story of all continent from our own perspective but tangs finally changing south african his story i know my longtime tease it has taken much of into her own hands and published on african history book for. The next 3 to try to eternity but today shes created how could she go to south africas long island girl wow. Without. The fricken historian. Hopes to prepare. For the future by teaching her the history of what people. Only experience as an african thats the one thing that africa. Has and cut them through centuries of pain is knowing where they are and where they come from. The University Professor discovered african history books reaching for kids exclusively focused on egypt she wanted to paint a broader picture about the continent past she wants to cover everything from ancient history contemporary independence movements. When africa. History and about where they come from and the origins and the different mythologies we do way better. As kids in school we do way better as students at university and we do far better in the world in terms of being innovators when we know our history. No longer also realized that there were no history books that children in africa could really identify around or just she was determined to prove the. Industry to a friend. To develop a comic book for children in african history just trying to represent visually. Elements of african history so that kids can. Kind of get a feel for it through the visual side but not in a way that. Helps African People know my longest approach is simple she shows kids and young adults a different perspective on african history the subject of slavery for example is looked at from a much broader perspective and doesnt just focus on africa. Shows that humans have been cruel to one another everywhere throughout history. This is an Important Message in a country like south africa where christmas of its colonial past comes to be found everywhere. No one under stress is that this alternative perspective was so unison up until now even in school. But now it goes like those in a funny and can Grease School cops and proud of iowa into a moment the rise of civilizations country to slavery colonialism struggles for independence and famous africans. And his remains and indeed teaches people about cultures. I feel chilly because we dont have books like he. Does every. New millennium thats confident that her effort to pay off the popularity of property is to rise and perhaps one day how walk when you have become compulsory in schools across africa. If that report got you curious to know more about some of the most famous. Across africas history you can also check out the dabneys online multimedia project if we can. That leads me to our next big question what are the roots of identity. All reports are 80 k. Money went to our home city nairobi to find out and she is joined by a special guest b n i. A member of one of africas most popular little boy buns. Ive heard it said before afro pop after future isnt even it seems that recently there is i might even go as far as call it an obsession of africans to attach their identity to the works that they do and im wondering why why is african identity so important who better to answer this question for me than some Young Africans and one of them actually named his album very audacious title live and die in africa so were going to start with you being an african story is our story told by us as told by us because with the hold on so if d. W. Is a source lets put ourselves lets put ourselves on the line here d. W. Is providing the platform d. W. Certainly not african but this is the african story told by us we are the ones who are telling you what we are about so the african story is the story of africans as told by the people of africa detainees on 11 decision has asked no no no it doesnt shine he has asked another question who is. Thats my question is who is out because. I know a great group how many how many generations is it take to be defined as african is what i want to know. Ok does anyone have an answer to that question how many generations does it take for you to be defined as african assuming that your background or what we call your Indigenous Roots are not african any answer any takers i dont think its enough for you to see yourself as an african the African People the community that youre in has to see you as an african you get it has to be a 2 week thing i find this is a very philosophical zone so to be is to be perceived to be african is to be perceived and i can just insert myself into africa and feel african oh my god i feel african no it has to be you. The people who you found there do they see you as african it doesnt have to take generations i think we have people who have lived in kenya for 10 years right now and they see themselves as africans its actually how you. Try to how you see yourself how you respect the culture how you respect their age and what makes you feel. It doesnt have to be seems that we are very sensitive about the ownership of this identity so when other people lay claim to it we get a little edgy about it why are we so sensitive about identity because of colonialism and having to deal with imperialism we are extra touchy about the subject of african identity we have completely embraced colonial sort of dispositions when it comes to how we choose to govern ourselves but somebody might hear you say that and say well you are influenced by the west youre hearing some of western ideas having this conversation even. d having this conversation in the english trade so yeah i so thats the thing i dont actually believe that in 2019 and in the centuries to come that there would still be this thing called african identity because of globalization essentially that this idea of african is it was one that ruled be depleted in the years to come you dont agree and i dont know. I think its because of the influence and the pressure and the context of globalization thats the precise reason why people hold on to their identity if if theres a force thats thats homogenizing everyone making a run the same then what makes you unique becomes that much more important but it feels that oh thats who is really not only my mom is a really you know you know how can you bonnie you know what i find it funny that none of us to talk about how the fact that african identity has also been tied to our struggle we have not had a conversation about privilege weve not had a conversation about this our skin tone lets have it. And the fact that our skin tone in all its melanie to forms has been the subject of prejudice has been the subject of celebrity 400 plus years and that that also contributes to what we consider ourselves to be their thing to the people always have a passion attached to our identity no but that bad or pressure and those outside forces the same way that a diamond is formed by outside pressures can i get a witness im going to say. That is has played a role in shaping what we have so we are very very sensitive about holding on to it because so much has been taken from us that were like ok what do we have all right we have our skin tone ok we have our sense of rhythm ok we. Got. A pounded yam you know so we have all these things that were happy to celebrate and were happy to adorn but when other people wear them adorn them in a way as though theyre celebrating its we call it appropriation of misappropriation there is a line in line these drawn when gucci for example would be says to them its like you think it and then do. You know his intention of the and then go oh my god mazing but no actually the people who do it is of the form of fabric and im going to benefit from it that some. Testing is just bouncing which is feeds if you like it seems ok ok ok ok look so you guys heard recently that oklahoma thought i was treated. Like youre not being. For your benefit or being because really freeness from lion king which means no worries in africa which is very revealing and it shows that where we need to step up legally as africans is we kind of need to be able to get a heavier presence in terms of trademarking in terms of copyright in terms of seeing what we have and the things that we have potential exports or whatever the only reason i say that is because someone else is going to do it so what did you says about. Africans having a more kind of like legal and copyright presence or strategy is good but i also think that the people who are stealing should stop stealing right so if you have a house which has valuable things in it and someone comes and breaks even things your stuff right. Who did the wrong thing was it wrong for you to have things in your house or was it the thief who shouldnt have come to steal the right the reason why africans dont copyright everything is because it doesnt occur to us that these things are. Wrong but i just want to ask you guys that question one more time why is african identity so important africa has been the site of upon theft up on it and that sense of loss has been part of our history for centuries really and its in this moment of globalization couple late stage capitalism is when its becoming more intense right and so the reason why were looking to what makes us different is because thats how for us to become human our human has been identified with not africa right that that in the category of human black does not exist african does not exist in order for you to be human you have to be white or white adjacent right and so we are here expanding the category of human to include africa while that was that was that was that that hit me right here and thats a great place to wrap up this conversation and i suppose we can all agree that its very complex and im not entirely sure we fully answer that question but i think one thing we can agree on is that african identity is important because it affirms that we were and like christine the background said it affirms that we still are thank you so much for tuning in that was so exciting im actually a little exhausted just from all the thinking thanks for joining us. Thank you wow now that was an important discussion to have if you want to add your thoughts you can engage in the debate on our Facebook Page and you can also watch a longer version of that street debate on youtube. Now lets head to wind up like in many other countries life with a disability here is still anything but easy when his own mind that became disabled he was forced to live on the streets but a few years later his life took a surprising tide lifts killing a key few minor league up to the fugitive. These past few months her losing her ladyship to traverse to International Sports competition thats just silly its also about him thats trying to shoot a kitchen knife this teacher. Gets the rubber for you could you know when i was it is world a good pony you put that this is affected one leg when i was taken to the hospital i received injections also in the whole so my 2nd leg was affected. White i have a disability before lets go come over here to the war on this opium to both of these are its nice to seen some sort of primers and i know there was no one taking care of it was it was to leave in the street. I slept on the outside for in the houses sometimes even in gutters containers where i was looking for some left over some to eat or for for my life as a small child really mark was not able to on the road kill. Its not natural for the community to live with these mines that are by no come out and whats likely to signal a certain disability is losing the stigma and we need end up in the street bank in the country to visit my mother and i think it was with the remark. When a family is poor and have a child with disabilities and this child or so from the clerk or even in the society it is treated like i was walking over 50 Apartment Building something. 2 fronts every day not the challenge of tears james as its raining on the streets when he was a teenager no 114 i think you should believe that i just societys told the road to st charles its to protect himself against threats from others and thats why i started training.

Shima regularly in fights young people of the street to a free training and even for obama. Hopes that one day people with a disability we have the same opportunities like everyone thats all of his friends can. Now have a particular bill collector and a place where i welcome a disability to do sports and help them realize their dreams complected a father an education because most of them could not go to school. Until he efficient becomes reality teaching in the world of politics and like to turn in the one child.
