About this listen
Episode Description Are you still mentally colonized? In this episode, we tackle the "African Inferiority Complex" head-on. We discuss why so many Africans in the diaspora feel the need to shrink themselves, change their names, and fake accents just to survive in white spaces.
From the childhood trauma of worshipping white visitors in schools to the embarrassment of "Lunchbox Shame" at the office, Eric and Solomon break down how deep the conditioning goes and why true freedom starts with being yourself.
Key Takeaways
- The "White God" Syndrome: How our school systems conditioned us to see white people as superior.
- The Name Game: Why you need to stop shortening your name to "Dom" or "Mo" for your colleagues' comfort.
- The Fake Accent Epidemic: Why faking a British/American accent makes you look insecure rather than assimilated.
- The Job Market Fear: Why over-qualified Africans apply for low-paying jobs out of fear of competition.
- Food Shaming: Why we are terrified to eat African food in corporate spaces.
