These connections become even more scarce between Africa and communities of color in the US. It is time to start a dialog between Africans, Africans in the diaspora, and communities of color in the US. These interactions will allow deeper understanding to develop, appreciation to grow, and opportunities for economic investment to emerge.

In this episode, What’s Up Worldwide welcomes our guests, Wasim Khan, CEO of Baraza African Cultures Center & CEO/Chief of International Business Development for Indigenous to Indigenous; James G. Maina, CEO, The School of Wisdom; and David K. Njenga, RFC, Global American Financial. These community leaders, both in the US and their home country of Kenya, give us a great introduction to things to understand as we move ahead in our building better and stronger connections.

The new program, Connecting KC on Cascade TV was launched for the first week in May with a feature on generational connections. Host, Carl Boyd, is a member of Friendship Baptist Church, a Congregation of Jesus Christ. In a recent, special program at the church, Friendship youth role-played as Civil Rights era students and activists. It happens that there are elder members of Friendship who participated in the very marches and demonstrations depicted by the youth. This inaugural "Connecting KC on Cascade TV" episode shows the coming together - the connecting - of the young people who study history and the elders who made the history being studied. Their presentation on this debut program sets the stage for future "Connections" programs, promising to show how other, positive, connections are being made: spiritually, academically, racially, economically, socially, technologically, medically, and more. Please watch for (and, prepare to archive) Connecting KC on Cascade TV.
