VIVA

vivapodcast

One Jamaican Caymanian and one Southern Sudanese Liberian American woman put them together and you get VIVA ladies and gentle (men)? Viva Podcast puts in conversation two young immigrant millennial women in Berlin tackling issues of sisterhood, womanhood, racial injustices in Germany, dating the boys (and girls) in Berlin, health, politics, and much more. You know those conversations you have with your homegirl in the kitchen while braiding her hair and laying her edges? Imagine you’re in that room with co-hosts Bonnie and Cassianne. Join us as we talk about the issues relevant to our lives and always on our minds (ladies and lurkers included). Looking forward to catching YOU on the up and coming season of Viva! read less
