Why Do We Assimilate? Jun 03, 2021

Show notes

Welcome back to another week with the Cousin Connection Podcast!

In this week's episode, we discuss why we (as first generation Canadian Hararis) assimilated to African-American culture. It's a touchy topic but it's our reality and we're sure many of you have gone through this experience as well. We also shared some stories about whether we were ashamed/embarrassed to be labeled as "Ethiopian" vs "Black".

Thank you for the support and we'll see y'all next week!

Why Are You Single? May 27, 2021

Show notes

Hellooo everybody! Welcome back to another episode of the Cousin Connection Podcast! We are so excited to introduce this new series that we will have on our Podcast called Relationship Talks! We all know that this is everyone's favourite topic so we started off the series by talking about why we are still single, should we be lowering our standards if we're 30+ and still single and whether we should build with our partner or figure out our sitch (financially, mentally, emotionally) prior to meeting someone. This is a loaded episode so grab a snack, take a walk/drive or just chill and enjoy the podcast! We're looking forward to hearing your thoughts so make sure to follow us on Instagram: @cousinconnectionpod @amirwastaken @alisara__

FREE PALESTINE May 20, 2021

Show notes

Welcome back to the Cousin Connection Podcast!

In this week's episode, we are discussing the horrible violence, illegal occupation of Palestine, how the US supports the Zionists and what we can do to support our Palestinian brothers and sisters. We also discuss how the blatant racism towards the Palestinians reminds us of the blatant racism that Black people face (mostly in the US) and briefly discuss the positive outcome of Derek Chauvin being found guilty on all charges. We also both got our first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine and we discussed our side-effects and future side-effects for vaccine #2 and we ended off our discussion with some of our "suhoor problems" lol. Please keep our Muslim brothers and sisters around the world (who are all going through different hardships) in your du'ahs!

Stay tuned for a new episode, next Thursday!

Late Night Chronicles May 14, 2021

Show notes

Welcome back to another episode of the Cousin Connection Podcast everybody!! In this week's episode, we're not going to lie, we were definitely all over the place. It was "late" at night (it was really only like 8pm but Amir thinks that's late so...) and we were all over the place with our conversation. We started off comparing shower and skincare routines and then got into weird school projects we've had over the years. We then took a dark turn to discuss US gun laws as two Canadians so we apologize in advance if we come off as ignorant, we were just trying to understand how our neighboring country tries to justify the 'right to bare arms' when more harm has come out of it than good. After the dark turn, we tried to salvage the mood by talking about weird school projects again. This is one of THOSE types of episodes lol. We hope you enjoy listening to what Amir coined us as "The African Ramblers". ====================================================== Connect with us on Instagram: @cousinconnectionpod @alisara__ @amirwastaken
