Ciao Everyone! Welcome back, in this episode I share with you how my motivation has been. On the 8th of March is International Women's Day, how is this da honoured in Italy? Let's talk about sexism through Italian politics, but also through the Festival of Italian Music, the Sanremo Festival. This Festival although also evokes fun family memory, that I share in this episode. March 6th is Ghanaian independence day and in this episode, I tell you what makes me proud of my heritage, but also the work that Ghana still needs to do, especially to keep all citizen safe and fight neocolonialism. Part of my heritage is also my grandparents, I talk a bit about my relationship with them especially as a child of an immigrant in Italy. Enjoy xx
