Show by The Ryles Report
Author Boyah J. Farah joins The Ryles Report to tell a story you don’t hear often: how surviving Somalia’s civil war didn’t prepare him for becoming Black in America. From refugee camps to a nearly all-white Massachusetts town, Farah shares the moments (policing, media stereotypes, quiet humiliation) that taught him what “Black” really means in this country.This episode is raw, poetic, and eye-opening, connecting Africa and African America while exposing the invisible pain many are forced to carry.
