Our heroes are their enemies and their heroes are our enemies. Who decides which heroes we honor? Who decides what films we will watch? Who decides who we will look up to? Who decides whose statues stand on our campuses, whose stories are told on screen, and whose images shape the minds of our children?In this powerful conversation, Ɔbenfo Ọbádélé Bakari Kambon breaks down the politics of soft power, from the Gandhi Must Fall movement at the University of Ghana to the deeper question of why Black people must choose, honor, document, and project our own heroes.This discussion moves through statues, murals, film, Kmt, Nana Amanirenas, Nana Malcolm X, Nana Nat Turner, Nana Yaa Asantewaa, Nana Marcus Garvey, Nana Kwame Nkrumah, Nana Thomas Sankara, Nana Patrice Lumumba, Nana Harriet Tubman, Nana Jean-Jacques Dessalines, and the ongoing work of building institutions that tell our stories for ourselves.The message is clear: those who control images control minds. If we want our stories told truthfully, we must document our own grandmothers, grandfathers, artists, builders, freedom fighters, healers, teachers, and visionaries.Learn more about the mural project: https://www.abibitumi.com/traoreLearn more about repatriation support:https://www.r2gh.comWatch and upload Black-centered content:https://www.abibitumitv.comJoin the Abibitumi community:https://www.abibitumi.comTopics covered:Gandhi Must Fall, soft power, statues, Black heroes, Abibifahodie Film Festival, Ibrahim Traoré mural, Black storytelling, Kmt, Abibitumi, repatriation, documentaries, Ghana, Burkina Faso, cultural memory, and why we must give our people their flowers while they are still here.Hashtags:#abibitumi #blackpower #abibifahodie #gandhimustfall #blackheroes #africanfilm #ghana #burkinafaso #repatriation #blackstorytelling #softpower #kmt #abibitumitv

CENTERING HEALING ACROSS GLOBAL AFRICA LONG TRAILER
In this powerful episode of the *Raw Success Podcast*, we sit down with Afiya Mbilishaka, psychology expert and founder of PsychoHairapy, to explore the deep connection between mental health, culture, and identity.
Afiya breaks down how traditional psychology frameworks were not designed with the Black community in mind—and how that gap has impacted the way mental health is understood, treated, and even stigmatized. We dive into the origins of these systems, the cultural disconnect, and why representation and culturally relevant approaches are essential for real healing.
This conversation goes beyond theory. Afiya shares how PsychoHairapy is redefining therapy by creating safe, culturally affirming spaces—starting with something as personal and symbolic as hair. From generational trauma to self-expression, this episode challenges the status quo and opens the door for a new perspective on mental wellness.
If you're interested in mental health, cultural awareness, and breaking cycles that no longer serve us, this is a must-watch.
🎯 In this episode, we cover:
* Why mainstream psychology often misses the mark in the Black community
* The cultural roots of mental health stigma
* How PsychoHairapy is changing the game
* The connection between hair, identity, and healing
* Tools for building culturally aware mental wellness practices

https://egotickets.com/events/....iba-music-festival-2 inside a powerful AES conversation with Empress Ajé, creator of the ÌBÀ Music Festival, as she shares the vision, spiritual grounding, and cultural purpose behind this growing movement.In this rich discussion, Empress Ajé opens up about the meaning of ÌBÀ, the festival’s roots in Trinidad and Tobago, and why this year’s TriniGhana Experience is such an important bridge between Ghana and the historic diaspora. She speaks on honoring the ancestors, uplifting the divine feminine, and using music, performance, and community gathering as vehicles for deeper reconnection.This conversation also explores why the ÌBÀ Music Festival is a natural fit as an official D.O.O.R. event, and why repatriation must be understood as more than documents and logistics. It is also about spirit, belonging, cultural memory, exchange, and building real connection in community.From calypso and highlife to steel pan, ancestral chant, and the links between Ghana and Trinidad, this is a BlackCellent discussion for anyone interested in culture, music, repatriation, and the living ties between Black people across the world.Watch, share, and join the conversation.#empressaje #ibamusicfestival #door #abibitumi #aes #repatriation #trinighana #blackculture #diaspora #ghana #trinidadandtobago #culturalexchange #ancestralconnection #divinefeminine #blackpower https://egotickets.com/events/....iba-music-festival-2

Pan-African TV News ReportHistoric diasporans, scholars, and community leaders came together at the University of Ghana for a powerful town hall meeting on citizenship, repatriation, and the future of Black unity on the continent. Organized by The Black Agenda in collaboration with the Institute of African Studies, the gathering focused on one urgent question: how can historic diasporans return home and contribute fully if colonial-era barriers are still standing in the way?Speakers challenged the monetary and legal obstacles placed before historic diasporans seeking citizenship, arguing that these policies discourage return, block investment, and undermine the call for reconnection. The discussion also pushed beyond Ghana alone, calling for African leaders and continental institutions to take up the matter so that repatriation is treated not as an isolated national issue, but as a shared African responsibility.The event tied citizenship directly to reparative justice, self-reparations, and the right of scattered African descendants to come home without punishment, exclusion, or unnecessary burdens. The message was clear: the time has come for African laws and institutions to reflect the reality that Africa is one and indivisible, and that historic diasporans must be welcomed back in substance, not just in words.Hashtags:#repatriation #historicdiasporans #ghanacitizenship #blackagenda #universityofghana #reparativejustice #selfreparations #returntoafrica #blackunity #africaisone #diasporacitizenship #instituteofafricanstudies
Hundreds of historic diasporans living in Ghana are sounding the alarm over the rising cost and growing barriers to acquiring Ghanaian citizenship. For many, the dream of repatriation is being undermined by excessive fees, difficult requirements, and policies that leave people feeling excluded rather than welcomed.In this video, Ɔbenfo Ọbádélé Kambon speaks on the sidelines of the Historic African Diaspora Town Hall Meeting about the frustrations many are experiencing, including the GHS 25,000 citizenship fee that has become a major obstacle for families, elders, and long-term residents who planned to build their lives in Ghana.The conversation goes beyond paperwork. It raises serious questions about belonging, policy, development, and whether symbolic gestures toward the diaspora are being matched by real substance. If Ghana is serious about reparative justice and meaningful repatriation, then the concerns of historic diasporans must be heard and addressed.This is not just about citizenship. It is about Black unity, accountability, and building a future rooted in justice.
