Join discussions in Part 2 with a Vodun Priestess, a farmer, and various artists who share their personal stories and views on racial identity, roots, and culture. We discuss their experiences of living in different parts of the world, facing discrimination, and the complexities of understanding and embracing their origins. There’s also a deeper exploration of the historical context of migration and colonization and its influence on race and identity. This part concludes with a powerful poem by Andrea Encinas, ‘Cosmopolitanity.’
