EP 66: The Glamorous Life

American media companies are producing new glitzy glam reality TV shows in Africa. It’s a different kind of portrayal of Africa - something Hana has always wanted- a change in the narrative of poverty, war and famine.

But something’s not right and nagging at her. She’s trying to just get her popcorn and enjoy the drama and messiness, but she’s conflicted and she’s wondering why. She talks it out with Nigerian writer Damilola Oyedele - someone else who is watching, and thinking at the same time.

Plus, we go to Lagos, Nigeria- to hear how people there are reacting there.
