In this episode, we delve into the significance of proverbs as a vital component of African oral literature with Bamukunda Hillary. A poet, researcher, and teacher from Uganda, Bamukunda brings a unique perspective to the conversation. He explores how proverbs encapsulate cultural wisdom, reflecting social values and historical narratives that resonate within family histories and the broader context of heritage. Additionally, we discuss how such oral traditions parallel the discussions of Caribbean history and the legacies of colonialism in shaping identities. Join us in this enlightening dialogue that bridges cultures through the art of storytelling.
