Full presentation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1GFqTGpvzg

This is the fuller version of the presentation I delivered at the Re-Engaging Pan-Africanism Conference at Birmingham City University, Dec 2018.

The presentation explores the relationship between Culture & Economics as an attempt to:
Rescue "culture" from reductive definitions by demonstrating the relationship between it & economic development.
Demonstrate how revolutionary movements have pursued economic development from a culturally appropriate foundation.
Its pre-recorded, but will be broadcast with a live chat. I look forward to hearing your feedback.

⁣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.
