WHAT TO EXPECT...WHEN YOU PUSH PLAY
She's Baaaaack!!!! Chawanangwa Mphande returned to 54Lights to share her reflections on our previous pods. In her first conversation, we discussed her childhood friend and leading cultural artist Qabaniso Malewezi. In this instalment, Chawa (as she's affectionately known) spoke about her impressions of Zimbabwean-Canadian Farai Madzima who was our guest in EP2.54..
In this episode, Chawa points out some profound perspectives on identity. She unpacked how her past, present and the spaces she's lived in all conspire to inform the way she lives and what she calls home. In what feels like a broadly familiar narrative, Chawa provides us with a view that's raw, real and refined - accepting the nuances and complexities that many people from the diaspora deal with.
Chawa also zeroed in on struggles finding work in certain spaces, the burden and benefit of being different as you move from one space to another. She raised a particularly pressing question about lived and life experiences...how that informs ones identity beyond a passport.
