Morocco is literally on the African continent. On the map, there’s no debate. But talk to many Moroccans and you hear stuff like “We’re Arab, we’re Mediterranean, we’re Amazigh” anything but Africa. That gap is evident in how Black people are treated, whether they are Black Moroccans whose families have been there for centuries, or migrants from further south just trying to pass through the Maghreb and stay alive. So what is going on here? Is this just an identity crisis at the edge of the Sahara, or something much deeper, a long history of slavery, Arab supremacy, anti-Black prejudice and European racial thinking all fused into one? How does a country that is physically part of Africa end up with such a persistent rejection of Blackness, and what does that mean for the Black people who have no other home but Morocco itself?

What does natural hair really represent?
Across African societies, hair has long been a form of identity — communicating status, culture, and belonging. But through slavery, colonialism, and global beauty standards, these meanings were reshaped.
In this episode of the Sankofa Pan African Series, we explore the history and meaning of natural hair across Africa and the diaspora.
As part of our International Women’s Month series — African Women: Roots, Resistance & Rising — this episode examines how something deeply personal reflects broader histories of power.
