In this first episode of the podcast's debut, AJ and Sam share personal stories of immigration, cultural identity, and the challenges faced during their youth through adulthood. Both tackle the concept of 'papers,' discussing its implications in immigration documents, ancestry records, and historical permissions related to slavery and apartheid. Sam's story reveals his undocumented status during a crucial time for college applications, while AJ recounts the struggle of adapting to U.S. life as a Kenyan. The episode teases future discussions focused on cultural stereotypes like the term 'African booty scratcher', aiming for greater understanding within the black diaspora, emphasizing their shared heritage and resilience. This episode sets the podcast as a mixture of personal reflections, historical insights, and hopes to bridge cultural gaps, all delivered through a storytelling lens that celebrates black culture and friendship.
