⁣Link Up Podcast — Ep 14 | Ft. Dr. Monique Swift Muhammad (Black Psychology, Sankɔfa Journey, Spirit)

Hosts: Niara Esi Ìjèawelē Ọmọlará Kwento & Bakari Kwadwo Ọbatayé Kwento

Akɔaba, Woezɔ, Oɔbaake (welcome) to another episode of Link Up Podcast, where we connect with Abibifoɔ (Black People) doing Black powerful work across Abibiman (the Black Land) and the diaspora.

In this episode, we Link Up with Dr. Monique Swift Muhammad, a licensed counselor, with over thirty years of clinical mental health experience and the current president of the Association of Black Psychologists. Dr. Muhammad takes us through her upbringing in Staten Island, experiencing anti-Black racism, the refuge of Black community, and the transformation that came through Black Studies at Rutgers University. We discuss the influence of her professors, her journey into psychology, and the work that eventually brought her into leadership within the Association of Black Psychologists. She also shares her experiences traveling throughout Abibiman (The Black Land), from her first Sankɔfa Journey to Ghana, and various other locations.

The conversation moves deeper into Black psychology, the psychological consequences of operating within foreign cultural systems, and why true healing requires reconnecting with who we are as Black people. We discuss the importance of Black-controlled spaces, the relationship between Black consciousness in the diaspora and cultural foundations in Abibiman, and the need to bring these together through organized international work, including the Decade of Our Repatriation (D.O.O.R.) initiative. Dr. Muhammad also shares her vision for strengthening the Association of Black Psychologists, the opportunities and dangers of technology and artificial intelligence, and why Black liberation must move beyond intellectual understanding to a deeper reconnection with spirit, ancestors, and collective Black purpose.

This is a conversation about Black psychology, Sankɔfa Journey, healing, spirit, Black Power, repatriation, and the work required to restore the Black mind, reconnect the Black world, and build institutions capable of advancing Abibifahodie (Black Liberation).

⁣mktyw kmt (Defenders of the Black Land) - Episode 2 - Culture: The Immune System

Mwacha mila ni mtumwa.
He who abandons his culture is a slave. — Swahili proverb

The churches came down. Something else went up in their place.

Across Abibiman, a generation is being taught to carry themselves as someone else's children. A body that forgets itself stops recognizing what doesn't belong — and that is exactly the opening the enemies of the Black Land have been preparing for, this time will attempt to use their quietest door yet. They've spent decades preparing the one who'd hold it open — someone they think the community would never turn away.

But something is shifting on the ground. The family doesn't move alone. The community is ready to put skin in the game and choosing to participate in destroying Black Powerless systems in exchange for Black Powerful ones. This unification is happening just in time, as an even bigger storm is brewing.

Are you building towards Black Power or Black Powerlessness?

⁣Episode 1 — The Price of Division

"When two brothers fight, a stranger inherits the land."

An ongoing land dispute between two traditional rulers has the local population in disarray. Meanwhile, the United Nations are coming up with a plan to extract a very rare mineral (which has the potential of advancing their technological ambitions 10x more than gold, cobalt, bauxite and diamonds combined). With an existing foothold in the local presbyterian churches, the UN look to leverage disloyal (phenotypically) Black preachers to assist with obtaining access to the land without causing a fuss with the local community. Fortunately the Nananom are well aware of this ploy, and alert mktyw kmt (Defenders of the Black Land), who immediately take action.

Hosts: Niara Esi Ìjèawelē Ọmọlará Kwento & Bakari Kwadwo Ọbatayé Kwento

Akɔaba, Woezɔ, Oɔbaake (welcome) to another episode of Link Up Podcast, where we connect with Abibifoɔ (Black People) doing Black powerful work across Abibiman (the Black Land) and the diaspora.

In this episode, we Link Up again with Ɔbenfo Ọbádélé Bakari Kambon for Part 2 of our Episode 11 discussion. This portion centers on the expanding institutional work growing out of Abibitumi, including the upcoming Abibitumi Conference, the Abibitumi/Abibifahodie Film Festival, the developing Abibiwiase television show, and the Open D.O.O.R. Dialogues. Ɔbenfo explains how these projects are connected through the larger mission of creating Black spaces that are not just online, but physical, organized, and rooted in Black liberation work.

We discuss the origins of the film festival, the need for independent Black-controlled media spaces, the transition from the original Film Festival idea into the Abibitumi/Abibifahodie Film Festival, and the development of Abibiwiase as an upcoming television show. The conversation also moves through the Open D.O.O.R. Dialogues, including the role of the University of Ghana, the College of Humanities, and endorsements from major Ghana institutions. This is a conversation about building Black venues, Black media, Black conferences, Black festivals, and Black institutional power without waiting for stench approval.

This is a conversation about raised consciousness becoming raised behavior, Black love as institution, and the work required to bring the whole family Black home.

⁣Link Up Podcast — Ep 11 (part 1) | Ft Akosua Kambon and Ɔbenfo Ọbádélé Bakari Kambon (Youth in Action, Abibitumi 20, Upcoming Book)
Hosts: Niara Esi Ìjèawelē Ọmọlará Kwento & Bakari Kwadwo Ọbatayé Kwento

Akɔaba, Woezɔ, Oɔbaake (welcome) to another episode of Link Up Podcast, where we connect with Abibifoɔ (Black People) doing Black powerful work across Abibiman (the Black Land) and the diaspora.

In this episode, we Link Up for a special two-for-one Episode 11 Part 1 featuring Akosua Kambon and Ɔbenfo Ọbádélé Bakari Kambon. We begin with Akosua, as she shares the Blacktastic work she has already started building through her Twi teaching show "Akosua & Afia Agorɔ", popcorn making videos "Akosua’s Crunchy Creations", and her interests in fashion, baking, singing, dancing and so much more. We discuss her recent experience on the Sankɔfa Journey 2025, including the Abibitumi Conference, and her first plane ride to Burkina Faso. Her section is a living reminder that Black children do not have to wait until adulthood to use their talents towards contributing to building Abibifahodie (Black Liberation).

We then Link Up with Akosua's Agya, Ɔbenfo Ọbádélé Bakari Kambon for the beginning of a two-part discussion. In this first portion we cover the inspiration behind building Abibitumi and the 20-year journey of development, the move from Abibitumi Kasa as Black Power Language into a broader all-Black ecosystem, and the work of turning a Black digital space into a Black physical model through Abibitumi headquarters and the xmnw Medjay Community. The conversation also moves through his upcoming book, "The Construction of Black Civilization, Vol. 1", Mdw Ntr, primary source research, and what it means to stop treating Black Power as theory and start building it in every area of human activity.

This is a conversation about raised consciousness becoming raised behavior, Black love as institution, and the work required to bring the whole family Black home.

Hosts: Niara Esi Ìjèawelē Ọmọlará Kwento & Bakari Kwadwo Ọbatayé Kwento

Akɔaba, Woezɔ, Oɔbaake (welcome) to another episode of Link Up Podcast, where we connect with Abibifoɔ (Black People) doing Black powerful work across Abibiman (the Black Land) and the diaspora.

In this episode, we Link Up with Baba Kweku (Jeff) and Ɛna Yaa (Lenore) — The Scotts — a specBlackular couple raised in Philly, met at Lincoln University, married and continue to grow a Black family. They take us through their upbringing, experiences in predominately Black neighborhoods, learning of their ancestry, raising Black children and participating in various community projects together.

We discuss their move from Philly to New Jersey, and preparation towards repatriation. Along the lines, we learn about the work and travel they've done while coaching a track team that has produced Olympians, as well as their Journey to the Blackland with their adult children and grandson, preparing the next generation with passports and dual citizenship, growing food, joining the Abibitumi/Repatriate to Ghana (R2GH) community, and why returning home works best when we build together instead of trying to do it alone.

This is a conversation about raised consciousness becoming raised behavior, Black love as institution, and the work required to bring the whole family Black home.
