The Mazungumzo a.k.a. The Conversation explores intergenerational blackness from a bicultural lens. As Tanzanian Americans raised in the Pioneer Valley of Massachusetts, blackness was always a complex equation, and still is. Throughout this journey, we are two sisters affirmed in the belief that the Black experience is both collective and interconnected—merely existing in different timezones. This podcast is a virtual experiment meant to unravel a spirit of inquiry around unity, empathy, and the New Great Migration.

In this episode, we share three intergenerational perspectives about elections in Tanzania and the United States of America. "Tuko pamoja" means "we are together" or "we are One". Our current American government, the idea of democracy, the history of Tanzanian governance, our political rights, and our citizenship---all of these are connected. Featured in this episode: Nan' Kware, Mama, and Warda
