Dr. Umar Johnson passionately discusses the importance of identity and racial classification in this thought-provoking podcast episode.

The conversation dives deep into issues surrounding mixed-race identities, touching on the complexities faced by those who straddle multiple cultures. Johnson also reflects on his personal journey of awakening and the impact of his experiences in Africa. Additionally, he critiques popular culture, including the portrayal of black characters in films like “Black Panther,” highlighting the underlying messages that can affect the black community’s self-perception and unity.
