Being Iranian and Congolese, Identity Collapse, and Only Black Guy in Germany w/ Norman Sosa | Ep 68

I sit with Norman Sosa and we talk about his upbringing in Koln Germany, being half Iranian and Congolese and the challenges that comes with that, and the racism that he faced growing.

We also talk about pride in one's cultures, black identity in Germany vs America and the influences of American black identity.

A very powerful episode that highlights the experiences many Third Culture Kids face.
