  • Summary

  • Today, in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s holiday we break hiatus and continue the "Abroad Series" stopping in Brasil and a tour of Africa. We delve into entertainment, the shifting sands of Catholicism to Evangelical Christianity and Pentecostalism, and how they are changing the faces and legacies of colonialism on the continent. Criss-crossing the globe, we begin with Nollywood (Nigeria), jet to Brasil and return to Africa on a world tour of religion(s), changing culture(s) and bold, modern-day dissent. Continuing our journey of the African Diaspora, Episode 23 showcases the changing tides of religious stories through industry, empire, colonialism and modern-day trends which shape societies and personally impact millions of people, indigenous faiths, minorities and marginalized people. _____ (Ep. 23) Show Notes Host: Rogiérs Written by: Rogiérs Narration: Rogiérs Production & Editing: Fibby Music Group, LLC Recorded at: FMG Studios, Washington, DC Cover Artwork: Emily Wilson Music Licensing: Storyblocks, Fibby Music (ASCAP) Additional Music: "Ocean of Love" V.
