In this LIVE recap, we break down what it really means to build one national identity and why unity matters now more than ever. We take a closer look at the challenges communities are facing today—social, political, and cultural—and how these issues shape our sense of belonging.

From everyday struggles to big-picture questions, this conversation explores how people can come together, bridge differences, and work toward a stronger, more united future. Whether you’re tuning in from the diaspora or back home, this episode gives you a simple, grounded look at the topics shaping our communities right now.

In this episode, we break down two major conversations hitting our community at once. First, we look at the fallout from the recent immigration changes and the cancellation of Temporary Protected Status (TPS), and how these shifts are shaking the stability of South Sudanese families across the U.S. We explain what’s happening in simple terms and talk through what it means for people who suddenly find their future uncertain.

We also dive into the Piopion Tribe trend that’s been circulating online and how it has opened the door to a bigger issue: the growing fetishization of South Sudanese women. From being treated like a novelty to having our culture picked apart for aesthetics, we unpack why this behavior is harmful and how it distorts the real stories, identities, and dignity of our women.

Together, we connect these topics to a bigger picture—how policy, pop culture, and social media shape the way South Sudanese people are seen and treated. It’s a raw and honest conversation about being more than a trend, more than a headline, and more than what outsiders choose to spotlight.

In this powerful episode, the Ladies of SOSA tackle one of the most personal and rarely discussed topics in our communities — fertility struggles. From PCOS and male infertility to cultural pressures, shame, and the painful silence many women face, our panel unpacks it all. We explore how tradition, stigma, and lack of awareness shape how infertility is seen in South Sudanese and African diaspora communities. Through real stories, medical insight, and heartfelt conversation, we challenge the idea that a woman’s worth is tied to childbirth — and call for more compassion, understanding, and open dialogue.
