Pan Afrikanism has come under attack. It has been characterised as an irrelevant failing Movement, based a pipe dream ideology of utopian Afrikan Unity.

The most recent assault has come from the newly emerged movement of "American Descendant of Slavery/Slaves" (#ADOS). Many of its leading proponents have taken aim squarely at Pan-Afrikanism. The conversations that have ensued are laced statements such as:

► Pan-Afrikanism is DEAD
► I'm not an Afrikan - Afrikans sold us into slavery
► There's no such thing as an "Afrikan" Identity.
► Black Americans fight for Afrika and the rest of the Black world, but Pan-Afikanism is not reciprocated
► Black immigrants leech off the benefits won by the blood of Black Americans
► There is no unity in Afrika, its 54 countries.
► Other Black are trying to co-opt the Black American Struggle
► Black Caribbeans and other immigrants don't have slavery &, displacement & poverty in their history

All of the above and more have been tools to punch holes in well established ideas of Pan-Afrikanism. BUT IS ANY OF THIS TRUE?

For this conversation, we have gathered Pan-Afrikanists representing the Afrikan continent, the USA, UK, France & the Caribbean to assess this narrative. We aim to address all of the above and more - in defence of the ideologies and movements that have done and continue to do much for Afrikan people; and with the highest expression of love that we must have for our people.

#ADOS have put some very important issues on the agenda. Here we aim to address the overall narrative on Pan-Afrikanism in the hope that we can develop a shared understanding of how this powerful movement has sought to solve the problems of our people.

⁣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.

⁣Link Up Podcast — Ep 5 | Ft Baba Amn and Mama Nuru (The Ma'At's)
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 Baba Amn and Mama Nuru, a specBlackcular couple raised jew york's 1960-70's Black Power era, rooted in Ma'at, and actively building toward repatriation to Ghana. Both came up surrounded by Afros, daishikis, campus protests, and the scholarship of Nana Ben, Nana John Henrik Clarke, and Nana Amos Wilson — and never left the fight. They share a mud cloth hat, a government building greeting, and a shared BlackPowerful circle pulled them back together. We discuss their travels across Abibiman — from occupied Kemet to Ghana to Burkina Faso — their experience on the Sankɔfa Journey, the community ceremonies that marked their spirits, and their commitment to purchasing land in the xmnw Medjay Community. The conversation also moves through the Ghana citizenship discussion, the importance of organized Black community over isolated individual consciousness, Mdw Ntr study, language, and what it means to return home not as tourists but as builders.

* 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.
