Y SQUARE POD: S01E03 Suffa posh & Gentri
On the third episode of Y Square Pod, Yasmin and Yasmine
share more about their ethnicity and identity that then leads into the main
topics of discussion where the duo define and speak on ‘Suffa Posh and Gentri’.
Yasmin describes the term ‘Suffa posh’ as going beyond your financial lane to
perceive an image that is untrue. The term coined by Sierra Leonean singer
Innocent insinuates the notion of living as false life, they go on to quote a
few of his lyric within the podcast. Y Square touch on a number of subject
matters throughout this episode from classism to junx clos (second hand
clothing). As two ladies of the diaspora, they also speak on that question of ‘where are you from?’ and the unpacking of a question that shouldn’t be complex but it is for so many
of us. The ladies talk about what the term gentry means here in Sierra Leone in
2019.
I could tell you what
else we speak about but you should probably listen to #YSquarepod instead of
reading a bias attempt of a review!
