In this episode I reflect on and discuss Oct 21, 1969, the day the Somali nation was changed forever. Its been over 50 years since Barre took up power but the way he shaped Somali nationalism, community and identity has altered us forever.

Your childhood does not have to circumscribe your life unless you allow It to. Learning and unlearning social norms that allow you to become a healthier and whole human being is what the life thing is about and I believe cultural identity can also work the same way. This episode also reflects on what art, identity and cultural diplomacy looked like during this time.
