I host Afrique Nomad, a weekly showcase of black music from across the world. Coming from an immigrant family, I grew up on African music. When they moved to the Minneapolis, MN from Liberia, I was exposed to a much larger cultural experience that allowed me to appreciate more musical genres. Here is where I fell in love with hip hop at age 10. Bonded with my sister over Caribbean music she would blast in her car, and discovered Afro-Latino music in my late teens. On this program you’ll get a taste of the variety of sounds from across the globe that shaped Jumondeh—reggae, soul, afro-pop, and so much more! As a host, I focus not just on feel good music, but also ones that critique and uplift.
