‘I am not African because I was born in Africa, but because Africa was born in me,’ said Ghanaian leader Kwame Nkrumah. Join us for an open conversation on how we identify as African and what it means.
Black, Black-British, British-born African, African, African-Carribean, Afro-Latino, or simply of African heritage.
