This week we interview Shingi Mavima (PhD in African American and African studies from MSU, Assistant Professor at University of Toledo, author of the novel Pashena, @TenziMavima). The episode starts in 1100 AD with the stone structures in Mapungubwe and the Kingdom of Great Zimbabwe. We transition to the 20th century march for independence, highlighting the founder of the Zimbabwe African National Union Ndabaningi Sithole. We then discuss the modern day, including land reform and the Zimbabwe Lives Matter movement
