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.

#NewBlackDaddy Diary 4: What name will I give my son?

WHAT'S IN A NAME?.... EVERYTHING!

In this reflection I explain the process myself & my Kween went through to name our Son. I explore the meaning of the names my parents gave me and how I understand this as an adult.

I also breakdown why it was important for us to give our child Afrikan name exclusively.
