For today's episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with brother/sister duo Akinade Adelere and Oyin Aderele—hosts of Pod Save Africa. Pod Save Africa explores the interesting details of our history, our present and our hopes for the future through weekly podcast episodes.
During our conversation, Akinade and Oyin share:
- How conversations and debates in his apartment with friends led Akinyade to launch Pod Save Africa
- Their initial reactions to the #EndSARS protests and why this latest round of protests was more effective
- What—if anything—the #EndSARS protests learned from the Black Lives Matter movement
- What role the Diaspora (and celebrities) plays during times like these
- How they stay hopeful and encouraged while covering heavy topics

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
