On the Season 2 debut of Lost Cultures: Living Legacies , we travel to Bermuda, an Atlantic island whose history spans centuries and continents. Once uninhabited, Bermuda became a vital stop in transatlantic trade, a maritime stronghold, and a cultural crossroads shaped by African, European, Caribbean, and Native American influences. Guests Dr. Kristy Warren and Dr. Edward Harris trace its transformation from an uninhabited island to a strategic outpost shaped by shipwrecks, colonization, the transatlantic slave trade, and the rise and fall of empires. Plus, former Director of Tourism Gary Phillips shares the story of the Gombey tradition, a vibrant performance art rooted in resistance, migration, and cultural fusion. Together, they reveal how Bermuda’s layered past continues to shape its people, culture, and identity today.

1 Sema Live | Episode 11 – The Rise of Big Data and AI: Boon or Bane for Global Africa? (Part 2) 52:18
We often categorize historical ages in terms of technological advances; the stone age, the bronze age and the iron age all through until the industrial revolution. In the modern era we remember how the internet and its ability to transmit data revolutionized our ability to communicate and connect. Big Data and AI take another step by crunching of the decades of data we have - and continue to - transmit giving it new meaning, and possibly, new life. Once again, through Big Data and AI, we are at the dawn of a new age. This leads to a myriad of questions: • What does this new age mean for Global Africa? • Should Global Africa retain exclusive control of its data and its use? Or is this a case of give and take? • How can we avoid the colonization, or reverse existing colonization, of Global Africa’s data? • How can we ensure Global Africa is not overlooked in the development of AI systems? • In what ways can Global African youth harness the emergence of Big Data and AI? And most importantly: why should the ordinary person care about Big Data and AI? Join us on Sema Live for the first part of this discussion as we question, listen to, and explore the future with our expert guests: Jade Makory , Anatola Araba , Alex Tsado and Essa Mohamedali (all esteemed members of the HiA Network ) Special thanks to Opubo Braide - audio editor in chief!

In the year of 2021 the Permanent Forum on People of African Descent (the Permanent Forum) was established as both a consultative mechanism and an Advisory Body to the United Nations, regarding improving the safety and quality of life and livelihoods of people of African descent. The Permanent Forum consists of 10 members, each of whom are expert in their respective fields and who collectively are representative of what we at Hosted in Africa would term Global Africa. The permanent Forum held its first session in Geneva in December 2022 . We are thrilled and honoured to be presenting the conversation we had with our guests, 2 of whom are members of the Permanent Forum Gaynel Curry and Michael McEachrane and Johannes Buabeng-Baidoo , doctoral candidate at the Centre for Human Rights, University of Pretoria. In this episode we grapple with a range of subject matters relating to the establishment of the Permanent Forum, placed within the context of histories of African people over the last several centuries. Such histories consist, but are not limited to, emancipation efforts, the push for independence, for social, economic, civil, and political rights, all bound up in the fight against racism, and for equity and dignity. The resulting spread of African people across the globe, a phenomenon that continues to this day, has itself created an important African diasporic dynamic and formation, which the Permanent Forum has as its central focus. And yet People of African Descent in the diaspora, by definition, enjoy an inseparable nexus with the continent of Africa and its people. We invite you to engage in this powerful, rich and honest discussion about issues of race, rights, responsibilities and human dignity, areas of life that remain at the forefront of human relations in the 21st century. We believe that through wholesome conversation alongside action that people across the planet can individually and collectively take ownership of issues afflicting their lives and work toward long term solutions. special thanks to Opubo Braide - audio editor in chief!

Matembezi, Swahili for "short journey", is our collection of updates from the HiA Network, our guests on Sema Live, some Global African highlights, all wrapped up in a few African minutes! In this episode we open the year with a recap on the stories from our most recent guests where we discussed: intergenerational solidarity ; movement texts as anti colonial theory ; a debut novelist book The Colour of the Sun and our session marking World Mental Health Day . We touch on environmental issues in light of the recent floods in Nigeria, looking at whether a recasting of the issue as a form of global development may assist the need for a truly collective response. And what discussion at this time can leave out Chat GPT. We discuss the implications of such technological advancements generally, but also specific to intellectual property and to Global Africa. We also draw attention to our upcoming discussions with elected members of the United Nation's newly inaugurated Advisory Body the Permanent Forum on Peoples of African Descent (Out soon!!!) Join us as we probe, push and pull, to amplify Global African voices and narratives; embodying our African oral tradition of sitting around the proverbial tree to share knowledge, wisdom, and experiences, through the spoken word.

A once soft spoken individual, she explains her journey of finding her voice in her writing, and persevering to bring her work to the world through a unique self-publishing journey. Her novel falls into the romance genre, but carries compelling themes of crime, drama and mystique narrated with a Kenyan voice and outlook. These deeper themes are based on realistic issues faced by many in modern society. Through this novel, Achieng hopes to bring light to these issues, and provide a story of hope to any who may be facing similar trials.

Join two upcoming legal scholars Melissa Mungai and guest Zwelithini Eugene Xaba as they interrogate the inclusion or exclusion of certain sources of knowledge in the academic space specifically, and other general knowledge sites. The question here is where do we draw our knowledge from, particularly on anti-colonial theories in the 21st Century? Do we only rely on the mainstream texts, which are often tainted with colonial undertones?

In Part 5 of the series our seasoned Professors offer advice to the next generation of academics. Professor Mĩcere Mũgo advises the next generation of academics to remain mindful of the past struggles that paved way for the works they are able to accomplish today. Moreover, she encourages authors to assert themselves against systems in academic institutions that have marginalized groups such as the youth, women and persons with disabilities. Professor Peter Kimani in turn speaks on the often spirit-breaking nature of navigating the institutional barriers placed before young academics, and the ways in which cultural systems and expression have been suppressed in the modern context.

Part 4 of the series delves into the challenges faced in the production of indigenous knowledge as well as producing knowledge in indigenous forms. Professor Mĩcere Mũgo reflects on the difficulty of publishing her work in traditional African orature form, with Western editors who fail to understand it as an effective mode of communication to her audience. Professor Peter Kimani on the other hand, reflects on the need for us to challenge colonial African education systems. These systems, still present today, prioritize knowledge about the Western world before first teaching us to understand our own environments and the indigenous knowledge present within them.
