A Discussion on Cultural Appropriation

On this week’s episode of Omonye’s Corner, I am speaking to an amazing group of guests about cultural appropriation!

Fairooz, Fatmata, Gracie, Zaynah, Timi and I delve into defining cultural appropriation, celebrity examples, and even a debate closer to all of us as young people. We really had so much fun recording this discussion, and we hope you enjoy it too!
Take the time to have a listen either alone or with a group of friends! And start a dialogue!! Discuss this issue with your friends and let me know on Instagram what you thought!
