⁣Link Up Podcast — Ep 11 (part 2) | Ft Ɔbenfo Ọbádélé Bakari Kambon (Abibitumi Conference, Abibiwiase, Film Festival, Open D.O.O.R. Dialogues)
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.
