Episode 2 - Nyandia Kamawe

August 30, 2020 • Gillian Benneh

"My conversation with Gillian woke up a lot of curiosity in me about my own African reality. I hope others listening will also reflect, and together, conversations such as these may act as catalysts to move the needle on realities that continue to impress negatively on Africans decade after decade on and off this magical continent."

Nyandia Kamawe, Visual Storyteller and my second guest on the Nea Onnim podcast.

Episode 2

Nkonsonkonson - The Chainlink, Symbol of Unity and collective strength.

This symbol stresses the need to contribute to the community that in unity lies strength. The toughness of a chain lies in the smallest parts linked together. On its own, the individual components have no real value but together, they can pull down and build up great things.
