In a nod to the influential Ghanaian reggae artist E.T. Mensah, the term “Talking Out The Side Of Your Neck” has become a rallying cry for African diasporic youth, symbolizing resilience and defiance in the face of oppression. The phrase originated in the 1950s, when Mensah released a song with the same title, using it as a metaphor for the struggles faced by Ghanaian people under British colonial rule.
