In June of 2014, My Africa Is decided to dive into Dakar, Senegal, a rarely talked about city on the West Coast of Africa. (We focused on Lagos, Nigeria in Season One). Dakar not only boast an amazingly hospitable population being the home of the “Teranga”, but is a secret gem for european tourists, and has a youthful population that is very aware of their rights, and are not afraid to fight for it. So we put these three episodes together, to give you a taste of what Dakar has to offer, and provide a brief history lesson on the city. Through this season of My Africa Is, we hope to open the eyes of many, and help them gain a multidimensional perspective on Dakar, Senegal.
