⁣Link Up Podcast — Ep 8 | Ft Okuninibaa Ɛna Mawiyah Kambon (Spirit, Healing, and Black Power)
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 Okuniniba Ɛna Mawiyah Kambon (Nana Efia Nsia Asantewaa) — a Blacktastic elder, mother, grandmother, spirit worker, psychologist, founder of Sankɔfa Journey and Onipa, and co-builder of Blacknificent Books and Cultural Center. Mama Mawiyah takes us through her journey from being born in Harlem, raised by her grandparents in Connecticut, shaped by her grandmother’s strength, love for children, and community work, and awakened more deeply during the Black Power era as she moved through college and answered the growing call to serve her people.

We discuss her life with Nana Kamau Kambon, the building of Blacknificent Books, the BlackPowerful scholars and warriors who passed through that space, her first journey to Ghana, initiation, spirit work, Sankɔfa Journey, the power of feeling our ancestors at the dungeons, and why returning home must be more than tourism. The conversation also moves through sacred land, Black family, child psychology, healing work, guided meditation, Sacred Sister Journey, and Mama Mawiyah’s reminder that she is not the healer, but a guide and tool used by spirit to create space where healing can happen. This is a conversation about spirit, Sankɔfa, Black healing, Black institutions, ancestral guidance, and the work required to help our people restore, remember, and return.

* Stay tuned after the conversation for a special animated cartoon episode. *

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.

⁣The BEST of NUBIAN HIT SONGS _ 2024 MIX _ TOP 10

When mango season reach… everybody turn neighbor overnight 😂🥭

A simple morning of yard work turns into a full debate when a random “neighbor from a neighboring community” stops by to admire (and secure) some mangoes. But things take a turn when he finds out the type of mango being offered…

Is mango really just mango? Or is there a real mango hierarchy? 👀

From sweet Julie to controversial Stringy… this one gets personal FAST.

Watch till the end — karma come quick inna yard 😂

Drop a comment:
👉 Which mango is the BEST?
👉 And be honest… you taking stringy or leaving it? 😭

⁣Link Up Podcast — Ep 6 | Ft Okunini Talawa Adodo, w/Azuka
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 Okunini Talawa Adodo, an Agya, Kmtyw warrior scholar, linguist, currently teaching in the united snakkkes, and traveling Black Powerful speaker. Joined briefly by Azuka, Okunini Talawa brings us through his journey from experiencing Abibifoɔ living in Toronto’s Jamaican diaspora, catholic insanity-indoctrination, early Garveyite exposure, and the journey that moved him from general Black awareness into raising his Black behavior through a more disciplined framework obtained while at Temple University, working with Mambo Ama Mazama, Ɔbenfo Kimani Nehusi, and connecting with Agya Kwadwo Datɛ to Abibitumi and Ɔbenfo Ọbádélé Kambon.

We discuss Jamaican language as a Black language and not “broken English,” the power of Mdw Ntr, Guadeloupe, Ayiti, Ghanaian citizenship, and what it means to return to Abibiman with purpose. Okunini Talawa also breaks down reggae, dancehall, and the mulattofication of Black music “Bout One Lovin' bob marley Syndrome.” This is a conversation about Taak Blak, Dancehall, Black Power, Black language, and raising the next generation to reject bakra foolishness.

⁣Link Up Podcast — Episode 4 | Featuring Ɓatɨ-Ijɔ̄ Bɛsoŋ

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

with a special Abibitumi 20 Year Anniversary testimonial from Agya Kwasi Datɛ

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

In this episode, we Link Up with Ɓatɨ-Ijɔ̄ Bɛsoŋ — a committed daughter of Abibiman (born in Cameroon), an active Abibitumi member, indigenous spirituality practitioner, and serious advocate for returning to Black sanity. She shares her upbringing between urban and rural Cameroon, the powerful influence of her grandmothers, the role of indigenous food, medicine, family structure, and the lessons she received from elders before fully understanding their depth.

We discuss her journey out of imposed religious frameworks, her search for ancestral grounding, her discovery of Abibitumi, and how the platform helped her resist assimilation while living in Krakkka-ville. Ɓatɨ-Ijɔ̄ also speaks on the importance of indigenous language, why she is working to reclaim Kɛ́nyāŋ and Keaka, how language connects directly to ancestral communion, and why speaking only colonial languages creates a break in Black memory.

The conversation also moves through Cameroon’s cultural struggle, repatriation, family structure, polygyny, spirit animals, palm wine, the Sankɔfa Journey, and the work required to pass Black values from one generation to the next.

** Stay tuned after the conversation for a new Animated Cartoon series **

This is a conversation about study, transformation, community, repatriation, land, sanity, and the work required to make KMT Black again.

One of my all-time favorite aunties. This is for you.

Sista example comparing/contrasting Black and white children, Anti-Amerikan Afrikan Ebonics vs stingklish.

⁣In the video, she is explaining the thought process of black kids being able to determine conclusions based on prior knowledge while the white kids only used the information in front of them.


I think this reflects the fundamental difference between Fundamental Interrelation and fundamental alienation
