In this episode, we break down two major conversations hitting our community at once. First, we look at the fallout from the recent immigration changes and the cancellation of Temporary Protected Status (TPS), and how these shifts are shaking the stability of South Sudanese families across the U.S. We explain what’s happening in simple terms and talk through what it means for people who suddenly find their future uncertain.
We also dive into the Piopion Tribe trend that’s been circulating online and how it has opened the door to a bigger issue: the growing fetishization of South Sudanese women. From being treated like a novelty to having our culture picked apart for aesthetics, we unpack why this behavior is harmful and how it distorts the real stories, identities, and dignity of our women.
Together, we connect these topics to a bigger picture—how policy, pop culture, and social media shape the way South Sudanese people are seen and treated. It’s a raw and honest conversation about being more than a trend, more than a headline, and more than what outsiders choose to spotlight.
