In this deeply personal and politically charged episode of Slingshot The Podcast, host Kadida Kenner delivers truth with urgency and unapologetic pride.
Titled “We Don’t Have to Stay Here,” Episode 2 explores systemic injustice, personal protest, and what it means to be rooted—and displaced—at the same time.
Kadida opens with the story of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland father wrongfully deported to El Salvador and detained in one of the world’s most notorious prisons—despite a U.S. Supreme Court ruling calling for his return. She then shares a recent protest experience where someone told her to “go back to Africa,” leading to a larger conversation about the power of protest, Black identity, and diaspora pride.
She reflects on Ghana’s initiative to award citizenship to Black Americans, flipping the insult into a global opportunity for reconnection, dignity, and freedom. The message? We don’t have to stay where injustice keeps us—mentally, emotionally, or physically.
