In this episode of The BreakDown, we explore how iShowSpeed’s unfiltered presence across African cities is reshaping global perceptions of Africa by challenging stereotypes with lived, spontaneous reality rather than curated narratives. We also interrogate Uganda’s long-standing leadership and the growing urgency around questions of power, legitimacy, and political transition in modern African states. Beyond the continent, the conversation turns to the Caribbean, where resistance to Donald Trump is no longer symbolic but is translating into tangible political and social consequences. Together, these stories reveal how narrative control, power structures, and global accountability intersect in a rapidly shifting world order.
