⁣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.

Ghana Citizenship Historic Diaspora Town Hall 3 - The Black Agenda
Ghana Citizenship Historic Diaspora Town Hall 3 - The Black Agenda The Black Agenda Ghana 65 Views • 6 months ago

⁣Some have given up hope. Others are staying the course.

The Historic African Diaspora Town Hall Meeting in Ghana was powerful, urgent, and full of forward movement.

Held at the University of Ghana’s Institute of African Studies, this gathering brought together Historic Diasporans, Ghanaians, dual citizens, organizers, scholars, media professionals, community vendors, and supporters for a timely conversation about Ghana citizenship, repatriation, reparatory justice, representation, and what meaningful Diaspora engagement in Ghana should actually look like.

This was not just another discussion about “coming home.” It was a serious public conversation about what Historic Diasporan belonging in Ghana must mean in practice — including clearer pathways to citizenship, stronger feedback mechanisms, better communication with government, and a more solid place for Historic Diasporans in national life.

Over the next four weeks, the work will continue. Organizers will be reviewing and aggregating feedback from the town halls, identifying recurring public priorities, refining policy recommendations, and preparing next steps for public engagement and stakeholder dialogue. Participants can look forward to a clearer summary of what was raised, stronger public messaging around representation and accountability, and continued efforts to move the conversation from symbolism to structure.

The support for this event was exciting and encouraging. Coverage and participation included GBC, Kantanka TV, Metro TV, Star FM, bloggers, and other media voices, reflecting growing national interest in Historic Diasporan return, Ghana immigration policy, and the future of African Diaspora engagement. Several community vendors also came out to support, helping make the event feel grounded, visible, and community-centered.

As interest in moving to Ghana, gaining Ghana citizenship, and building stronger ties between Ghana and Historic Diasporans continues to grow, this town hall made one thing clear: people want more than inspiration. They want meaningful inclusion, practical systems, and a real seat at the table.

Morehouse College Valedictorian REJECTS Rhodes Scholarship!!!

Dr. Kwaw "Andreas Woods" Imana - valedictorian at Morehouse back in 2000 - beautifully articulating his reasons for rejecting the Rhodes Scholarship. He rejected Cecil Rhodes, the shame of the Rhodes Scholarship and he also rejected the Rhodes Scholarship for himself as the historical record attests (and which is known to me as I know him personally). He got a 4.0 majoring in mathematics and went on to become the first Black man in the history of the US to get a PhD in Egyptology focusing on a Demotic text. He now teaches Mdw Ntr (Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphs), among other subjects, at Howard University.

He spoke right before Nima Warfield -- Morehouse College's first Rhodes Scholar who received the Rhodes Scholarship previously in 1994 -- who had come to the 2000 graduation to deliver a speech. Imana's speech caused Warfield to have to ditch his prepared speech altogether out of embarrassment.

Black Genesis: The Prehistoric BLACK Origins of Ancient Egypt | Robert Bauval | FULL LECTURE Kwabena Ofori Osei 86 Views • 2 years ago

The racial and geographical origins of the ancient Egyptians have been a mystery since Champollion deciphered the hieroglyphs in 1822. The prevailing consensus is that the ancient Egyptian civilisation was home-grown on the Nile Valley. But new discoveries in the Egyptian Sahara will challenge this consensus, and show that the origins of the pharaohs hark back several thousands of years before the foundation of the dynastic period (c.3000 BC) and, furthermore, that the first 'Egyptians' were from a black Sub-Saharan race coming from the Tibesti mountains in northern Chad some 12,500 years ago. The oldest known 'astronomical' megaliths in the world,those of of Nabta Playa are examined in this presentation.Born in Egypt in 1948, Robert Bauval, bestselling author of The Orion Mystery (1994), Keeper of Genesis (1996) and three books with best-selling author Graham Hancock (The Message of the Sphinx, Talisman, and The Mars Mystery), presents evidence published in the book, Black Genesis, (co-authored with US physicist Thomas Brophy). http://www.robertbauval.co.ukFilmed at WCCSG Conference, August 2011, Wiltshire by Hugh Newman & Jonathan Adams.Copyright Megalithomania/Pentos TV 2011.
