Welcome to another episode of "White Label American." Nigeria just marked its 64th anniversary (Oct 1st, 1960), so we've pulled a gem from the archives for you. Host Raphael Harry chats with Maurice Tamman, a seasoned journalist and devoted sailor with a fascinating story. From upgrading his boat inspired by a Harry Belafonte song to exploring aquatic superstitions tied to his heritage, Maurice's journey is captivating.
We dive into his immigrant family's experiences across Sudan, the UK, and the US, touching on the emotional challenges of assimilation and cultural identity. Maurice shares his passion for climate change journalism, fond memories of his childhood in Kano, Nigeria, and a hilarious tale of cursing a cab driver in Hausa. Raphael and Maurice also discuss linguistic and cultural legacies and the impacts of climate change.
This episode weaves personal stories, cultural reflections, and pressing global issues, inviting listeners to connect deeply with the human experience. Don't forget to support us on Patreon, share, subscribe, and leave a 5-star review on Apple. Enjoy the show!
