What Does a Perfect African Immigrant Look Like?

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

Hey folks,

First of all welcome to all the new readers. I have been tickled pink by the fact that even though my writing frequency has reduced a little bit, the blog’s readership and subscribers have kept on increasing and so thanks to all of you and welcome to the new readers.

Following on from my last post about confusion and my podcast with Julia Sanna where I tried to put an african immigrant relationship manifesto together, today I thought I would go one step further and, with your help, try to carve out an African Immigrant Manifesto.

A Quick Word About the Displaced African Podcast

Wednesday, October 15th, 2008

Three quick things I just wanted to mention about the Displaced African podcast:

1) I finally fixed the technical issues so you can go back and download any of the Displaced African podcasts you want.

2) Because I have fixed the podcast tech issues you can also subscribe to the Displaced African podcast on itunes and get all the latest podcasts direct to your ipod using instructions in the video below:

3) Finally, I finally got my most popular podcast, Opinions on Melbourne from Children, transcribed so you can head on over to the post and read the text version of the podcast.

Any questions and I am right here to help.

Have one of those days that’s so super, it has a hero named after it,

Mwangi
