Episode 22: Afro-Russian: Being Black in Russia by No Shade published on 2018-05-09T20:19:36Z Ooo friends you are in for a treat this week! Our Soviet bae, Grace, has left the Motherland but not without getting our girl Amina on the podcast first. As the daughter of a Nigerian father and a Siberian mother, Amina tells us about what it’s like to grow up as a mixed-raced person in Russia and her experiences abroad. We compare war stories and come to the conclusion that black people are not a monolith and the so-called ‘black experience’ is not homogenous. Huh, who’d thought? We also delve into cultural beauty standards and plastic surgery. Tune in. It’s a good one. Genre Religion & Spirituality
