Being an African immigrant in the Western world gives us perspective on cultures. As much as it has its challenges, there’s something fascinating about seeing where you come from through different eyes. It is much harder to notice ourselves from the inside but when we take a step outside, we can gain a broader view. This is one of the great things about traveling and being an immigrant. 

One thing I love about us, Africans is that we know how to joke and laugh about ourselves. It does us good not to take ourselves too seriously.

With all that we are going through collectively and individually, I’ve been reminded to laugh, to be inspired, and of Africa. The video below of British-Congolese comedian, Eddie Kadi, has all three elements. Enjoy it!
