Ufahamu Africa is a podcast about life and politics on the African continent, cohosted by Kim Yi Dionne and Rachel Beatty Riedl.

Ufahamu is a Kiswahili word that translates to “understanding” or “consciousness” in English. We seek to expand our collective understanding of Africa through in-depth interviews with diverse thinkers and innovators who are deeply ingrained in the life, culture, and politics of the continent. Our weekly episodes also feature news highlights and overviews of what we are reading and learning.
