In this episode of Ladies of SOSA, we sit down with a small panel to ask the uncomfortable but necessary question:

Is Pan-Africanism actually realistic… or should we focus on solving our own internal issues first?

We look at the original vision of Pan-Africanism — unity, global Black solidarity, collective liberation — and compare it to the realities we face today: civil conflict, regional divisions, toxic online spaces, and competing priorities across the continent and diaspora.

We explore:

• What early leaders like Marcus Garvey and Kwame Nkrumah wanted (and why it worked for a time)
• Where Pan-Africanism shows up today (AfCFTA, culture, Afrobeats, political blocs)
• Whether uniting means ignoring our internal problems
• Can we do both — build unity and fix ourselves — or does one have to come first?

✨ Expect honest dialogue, balanced perspectives, and thought-provoking questions like:

“Can we really unite as Africans if we’re still divided in our own countries?”

Drop your thoughts in the comments — should we prioritize unity or self-healing first?

In this special Ladies of SOSA episode — premiering on co-host Sahra’s birthday — Christine and Sahra sit down with a dynamic panel of South Sudanese voices to explore how feminism is understood in our culture today, and how it shapes women’s choices in marriage, career, and community life.

From the historical role of women as culture-keepers to navigating modern expectations, we unpack how tradition, education, and ambition can sometimes clash — and how women are finding ways to define success for themselves. Along the way, we share personal stories of breaking barriers, balancing cultural values with personal goals, and embracing empowerment in everyday life.

And yes — there’s cake, laughter, and a little birthday love woven in.

Whether you’re in Juba, the diaspora, or somewhere in between, this episode invites you to rethink what it means to be a South Sudanese woman today — in love, in work, and in life.
