Pan-Africanism vs. Self Repair: Should We Unite or Fix Our Own House First?
In this episode of Ladies of SOSA, we sit down with a small panel to ask the uncomfortable but necessary question:
Is Pan-Africanism actually realistic… or should we focus on solving our own internal issues first?
We look at the original vision of Pan-Africanism — unity, global Black solidarity, collective liberation — and compare it to the realities we face today: civil conflict, regional divisions, toxic online spaces, and competing priorities across the continent and diaspora.
We explore:
- What early leaders like Marcus Garvey and Kwame Nkrumah wanted (and why it worked for a time)
- Where Pan-Africanism shows up today (AfCFTA, culture, Afrobeats, political blocs)
- Whether uniting means ignoring our internal problems
- Can we do both — build unity and fix ourselves — or does one have to come first?
✨ Expect honest dialogue, balanced perspectives, and thought-provoking questions like:
“Can we really unite as Africans if we’re still divided in our own countries?”
Drop your thoughts in the comments — should we prioritize unity or self-healing first?
