Got COVID and a Re-Education in Portugal

Host Nikki Innocent made it over two years COVID-free only to get it in Portugal, a country with over 94% vaccination rate after being fully vaccinated and boosted. She talks about navigating the recovery experience in a foreign country while at the same time processing the concurrent tragedies happening in the world as a result of other crises of oppression, white supremacy and gun violence. Also, Nikki talks about the transformative experience of participating in the African Tour of Lisbon and the power of learning about erased, forgotten and white-washed history through storytelling and community healing. If you are interested in learning more about the origins of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, this discussion and walking tour is a must! For show notes and more info, visit nikkiinnocent.com/podcast
