A deep dive into the 2026 World Cup moment — and what it really means for African fans.
In this episode, we break down:
What the FIFA PASS actually is (and isn’t)
The emotion and pride surrounding AFCON, Zambia 2012, Ghana 2010, and Africa’s 10-team milestone
The reality of U.S. travel bans affecting fans from qualifying nations
And the quiet pause of the Diversity Visa Lottery following recent U.S. events
It’s about sport, yes — but also about access, memory, migration, and the bittersweet experience of cheering from afar.
🎧 Tune in for truth, heart, and perspective — from the stadium to the screen, and everywhere in between.

n this special mini-series episode, I’m sharing all the books I’ve recommended on the podcast so far — especially for listeners who may not be on Instagram. I use books because they help us express the things we can’t always say out loud. They open doors into experiences, emotions, and immigrant journeys that many of us carry quietly.
This episode brings all those titles together in one place, and I also share what’s coming next — November’s book pick, Bitter Honey by Lọlá Ákínmádé
