Thank you for this interview. Listening to Ms Macias, I wonder how many other African countries have such a story? Grateful to the Father who was wise enough to send his children to Korea and Grateful that the Leader accepted and took care of them. A friend indeed.
An awesome video. I can listen to Monica all day. She has a very interesting story. You can see her mannerisms and voice is most definitely Asian. I’m on Amazon right now buying the book.
Wow amazing story. A very respectful interview with an eloquent and intelligent woman. Her life journey is so compelling. Really gives me a different perspective about political leaders of that time, the historical significance of what her research brought to light, her identity crisis, etc. Will definitely look her book up!
I am watching right now. She said you are from where u grow up. She feels really Korean cuz she grow up in Korea but I will add she even looks like korean
Amazing Sharing! Thanks a lot James. It is so interesting to hear from Monica Macias that has so much experience across strong cultures. A real transcultural life!
Much admiration for Kim Il Sung. As a black man who lived in South Korea for six years non military and outside of Seoul, I loved the country. I also understand the complexity between the two Koreas and I understand outsiders have interfered in their fate. I have come to understand North Korea's stance as well so hearing Ms. Macias made so much sense. What would any self dignified country do to defend themselves against empire? Exactly what North Korea does. Great interview!
What I can say is post independence in Africa was really tough in that the colonial government didn't leave Africa willingly , most of the founding fathers were once lebeled as Terrorist, most were jailed before ascending to the presidency take for example Nelson Mandela he was labelled a Terrorist till 1998 , this was way after the cold War had ended . Back then most of the founding fathers of post African independence were either overthrown, assassinated or exiled . As a leader in Africa you needed to be a dictator and killer so as to govern . They were battling the remnants of the colonial government on the other end they were battling the difference in ideology of the cold War.
I have been following the story and interviews, really Kim il Sung was a friend in deed and in need. If I were Kim Jong Un, I could call back Monica to work with NK government! But, James please tell Monica to go back to Equetorial Guinea to settle the matter even though his father didn't do bad. Kim il Sung, told her while in NK to study and go back for Africa and her country. I think it's a time to go back and work for her country.
Thanks for this interview. Where is Monica’s mom? Why did she choose Spain? Her father did fight colonialism, but fell victim to his greed and power too, guilty of brutal opposition killings under his nose.
Was she just leaching off the privilege like many white women in the (neo)colonial era in multiracial relationships ... or helping her husband to move his county forward?
Waaaaaaay better than that channel 1 interview where the interviewer wouldnt stfu. good stuff
I. love how the interviewer listened intensely and gave her the platform to express herself and speak freely.
I would love to hear about her siblings, mother and her relationship with the current leader of North Korea.

Eternal President Kim Il Sung was a class act
🫶🏾 what a fascinating story
This is something a lot of the diaspora (myself inc) can relate to. That third space identity.

What did her father do after Spain left is the question. He was diabolical.
I think an environment influences your appearance she does look very much Korean
Very interesting!!!!
this was very interesting
Thanks for this interview. Where is Monica’s mom? Why did she choose Spain? Her father did fight colonialism, but fell victim to his greed and power too, guilty of brutal opposition killings under his nose.
Where can we purchase the book?
Amazon?
You didn't ask her about her mom , why?
Was she just leaching off the privilege like many white women in the (neo)colonial era in multiracial relationships ... or helping her husband to move his county forward?
But does she still visit North Korea. Will she be safe to do so
Movie please
8:38
Sending your daughter to North Korea is the first red flag.
What a horrible woman defending her reputation!
Cállate
Macias fue villano de una historia mal contada.
