Episode 12 Part 1: Politics, Hip Hop and Re-Membering Home

More Than Metaphors hosted by Dr. Kecia Brown

Apr 18 2021 • 1 hr 38 mins

Sociologist, Author and Higher Education Leader, Dr. A. Rafik Mohamed reflects on the intersections of storytelling and politics in remembering (recalling) his journey from D.C. to California, while re-membering (putting together again) a feeling of home. He and Dr. Kecia also square off on a hip hop trivia challenge to (possibly) end their 20+ year East Coast/West Coast beef [Timestamp: 53:45-1:04]!
