Fresh off the World Cup, one thing has been made crystal clear: our people are everywhere. This episode, we sit down with Kema the Giant to break down what that looks like on the ground, from the gringo tax to the cultural nuances nobody warns you about until you're living it.
Kema takes us from Tanzania's city energy to Zanzibar's paradise, then drops one of the wildest parts of the conversation: discovering Afro-Argentinians in Buenos Aires and unpacking Argentina's complicated relationship with race. We talk about what it means to travel with respect and confidence, how showing up as your full self can be its own form of resistance, and why representation in these spaces matters more than people realize.
