Join us and our special guest Sata! Sata is known for her story times on TikTok (@szaddii) where she reads letters she gets from her followers about different issues and provides her feedback. Aida and Arame met with Sata to discuss a topic she has discussed on her TikTok before: Caste. In this episode, we explore the caste system in Senegal, its historical roots, social and cultural impacts, intersection with religion, and personal stories. We'll also discuss the "Bete Bete" series and how we envision a future free from caste-based discrimination.
