⁣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.

* 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.

Film
The Vernon Johns Story [1994]

An adaptation of the life and times of Dr. Vernon Johns, ⁣the Pastor who preceded Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as the head of the congregation at ⁣ Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama. ⁣ In Stride Toward Freedom, his memoir of the Montgomery bus boycott, King described Johns as “a brilliant preacher with a creative mind” and “a fearless man, [who] never allowed an injustice to come to his attention without speaking out against it” (King, 38). King found an example in Johns, a preacher who was able to use his religious position in the community to challenge his congregation to be less provincial.
