Decolonizing Accents : Hello My Name Is John

Here we are with the second section of blackcoffee_pdc meets Europe for the Culture of Solidarity Fund recipients, an initiative created by the European Cultural Foundation. For this second section, we gave the microphone to John Modupe a.k.a the creator behind the podcast and Youtube channel OMJ. In the Italian context, John is unique as he represents a new generation of Italian comedians that perfectly embody what it means to be Black Italian. For John specifically, we want to emphasize that he is not just Black but also Nigerian Yoruba. John is an amazing comedian, entertainer, podcaster, and Youtuber, who through his skits makes people laugh as well as think about the modern Italian society.
