⁣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!

WE NEED EACH OTHER AS AFRIKANS. ONLY A "UNITED STATES OF AFRIKA" CAN SOLVE OUR URGENT NEEDS.

A discussion with Dr. Amina Blackwood Meeks on the impact of storytelling on helping to shape our Jamaican identity.

In this video you see a unhinged White supremacist..this minority who is playing in the face of some docile Negropeans props for White Supremacy.

White people in America and their non-White allies are figthing to maintain Racism and White Supremacy. White people who have a negative birth rate are figthing to protect the USA Government from being held accountable and to keep Black people poor..White racist who segregate, gentrify Blacks are now in your face bodly racist against Black people.

White racist as Nana Amos N Wilson said, they plan to never give up social control over Black people. You see that in the AES, you see that in the United Snakkkes of Amurder.
