The Black Expat Experience in Hong Kong

The China in Africa Podcast

African residents living in China today are either students or traders, according to widely-held perceptions. With more than 80,000 African students studying in China every year and tens of thousands of people from across the continent doing business in port cities like Guangzhou and Yiwu, it's not surprising that a lot of people see it that way.

But it's a gross over-simplification of what's a very diverse population and those perceptions also don't account for the growing number of black professionals who now live in many of China's largest cities, especially in places like Hong Kong.

Adedamola Sowole, aka the "Fantastic Fo" and Louisa Awolaja, aka "Lou," want to change that with a new podcast they co-host together about the black expat experience in Hong Kong. Both Fo and Lou are Nigerian British expats who work in the territory in professional jobs and interview other black expatriates about daily life in one of Asia's largest cities. The two join Eric & Cobus to talk about the show and the sensitive issues they tackle in each episode.
