Keeping Yoruba Alive: Language, Culture & Community in the Diaspora | Japa Diaries S4E2

We’re talking language loss, revival, and cultural pride with Jalil Anibaba and Oju, creator of Awujo. Hear how Yoruba speakers and learners in the diaspora are keeping the language alive through community, curiosity, and creativity.

And because you know we can’t resist a little fun, we play a Yoruba-themed game by Awujo which was equal parts competitive and humbling.

Our listeners get 10% off the entire ourawujo.com website (game, classes and events!) with code JAPA-AWUJO.

Plus, tickets are on sale now for our game night event at japadiaries.com/event
