Blackness wasn't blackness until it met a white modernity and it needed to stake its claims to equal rights, to equal values, to equal worth.
What does it mean to truly find a home? This episode of 'The One You Feed' brings host Eric Zimmer together with Bayo Akomolafe, a celebrated thinker, poet, and author. Their conversation revolves around Bayo's book, *These Wilds Beyond Our Fences: Letters To My Daughter On Humanity’s Search For Home*. They dive deep into how we define identity and belonging in a world that's constantly evolving.
Bayo shares personal stories, including observations of his autistic son, to illustrate the limitations of naming and the fluid nature of existence. They also touch on how colonialism has shaped cultural identities and the ongoing process of 'becoming' that defines our lives. The discussion doesn't shy away from complex topics like the Anthropocene, mental health, and the intersection of tradition and innovation.
With insights that challenge conventional thinking, Bayo encourages listeners to see the beauty in life's messiness and find sanctuary in times of change. If you're curious about how to redefine your sense of home and self in a rapidly changing world, this episode is a must-listen.
