⁣Link Up Podcast — Ep 7 | Ft Okunini Talawa Adodo (part 2)
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 once again with Okunini Talawa Adodo, and pick up where we left off in episode 6. This time we cover his connection to Mambo Ama Mazama, and his experience in Guadeloupe. An environment under stench occupation yet actively preserving its language, hair, music, Gwoka drum culture, and Black identity.

We discuss Black liberation celebrations, flag independence versus actual Black Power, Caribbean languages as Black languages rather than “stenglish-based” or “stench-based” creoles, and the fundamental relationship between language, worldview, grammar, and culture. The conversation also moves through Mdw Ntr, Jamaican, Twi, Igbo, Black parenting, bedroom colonialism, Cheikh Anta Diop, and Okunini Talawa’s larger mission to help Abibifoɔ speak, think, build, and raise the next generation Black to Black.

* 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.

Feel free to share your thoughts, and Link Up!
