Let’s Go Together Presents: Far Flung with Saleem Reshamwala: Nairobi

Author: Travel + Leisure February 17, 2021 Duration: 32:58
Far Flung with Saleem Reshamwala (a podcast from TED) is a journey across the globe in search of the world's most surprising and imaginative ideas. In this episode, Saleem Reshamwala explores AfroBubbleGum, an art movement from Nairobi, Kenya, that challenges the narratives often seen about Africa as limited to war, poverty and devastation. But sharing this joyous art is no frivolous task — it can even mean having your work banned. See why AfroBubbleGum faces opposition and what artists, like filmmaker Wanuri Kahiu, are willing to do to fight for it. Also featuring an interview and music from "Blinky" Bill Sellanga.

Join host Kellee Edwards, an award-winning travel expert, for Let's Go Together, a podcast that redefines what it means to explore. This isn't just about destinations; it's about the people who journey to them and the stories that unfold along the way. Each episode features candid conversations with travelers whose perspectives challenge the conventional narrative. You'll hear from a mountaineer who scaled Machu Picchu in his wheelchair and from the first documented Black woman to visit every country, among many others. These are deeply personal accounts about belonging, access, and the transformative power of seeing the world through a different lens. Produced by Travel + Leisure, the podcast naturally explores themes of inclusivity and adventure within society and culture, proving that the most compelling journeys are often those that expand our understanding of community. Tune in for weekly episodes that are as much about human connection as they are about passports and itineraries.
