Artificial Intelligence is moving faster than ever — from ChatGPT writing essays to AI diagnosing diseases. But what does this mean for us, the Black and African diaspora?

In this episode of Ladies of SOSA, Sahra and Christine sit down with a panel to unpack the pros, cons, and dangers of AI — how it’s reshaping jobs, education, and culture, and whether it’s moving too fast for us to keep up.

We explore:
The Job Market: Will AI take our jobs, or create new ones? (Hint: both.)


The Dangers: Bias, misinformation, and who controls the tech.


The Opportunities for Africa: From agriculture to education to healthcare, how AI could actually help the continent leap ahead.


Preparing Ourselves: The skills and mindset we need to stay ahead in an AI-driven world.


Diaspora Lens: Can AI empower global Black communities, or deepen the divides?


🎯 Expect a mix of real talk, interactive panel moments, and fun.

In this powerful episode, we address the heartbreaking knife killings of two young South Sudanese boys in Melbourne—another devastating reminder of the violence tearing through our youth. We’re joined by Maker Mayek, a Melbourne-based lawyer and the CEO of the South Sudanese Australian National Basketball Association, who shares a first-hand account of what’s happening on the ground. Together, we explore the root causes behind this wave of youth deaths, the fear gripping families, and what it means for our community’s future.

This conversation is not just about mourning loss—it’s a call to action. How do we protect our young people? What role do families, leaders, and institutions need to play? And how can we come together, across the diaspora, to stop burying our children too soon?

In this episode of Ladies of SOSA, we sit down with a small panel to ask the uncomfortable but necessary question:

Is Pan-Africanism actually realistic… or should we focus on solving our own internal issues first?

We look at the original vision of Pan-Africanism — unity, global Black solidarity, collective liberation — and compare it to the realities we face today: civil conflict, regional divisions, toxic online spaces, and competing priorities across the continent and diaspora.

We explore:

• What early leaders like Marcus Garvey and Kwame Nkrumah wanted (and why it worked for a time)
• Where Pan-Africanism shows up today (AfCFTA, culture, Afrobeats, political blocs)
• Whether uniting means ignoring our internal problems
• Can we do both — build unity and fix ourselves — or does one have to come first?

✨ Expect honest dialogue, balanced perspectives, and thought-provoking questions like:

“Can we really unite as Africans if we’re still divided in our own countries?”

Drop your thoughts in the comments — should we prioritize unity or self-healing first?
