President John Mahama's Keynote
28 December 2016

He asumed the throne of Kajoor
And became well-known for his festive reign
Where every occasion was reason for
Celebration in great style
Having inherited a rich oral tradition
He encouraged local musicians
And his patronage gave rise to the flourishing of
The music known as mbaboor
Ah! Birima!
A day spent in your presence
Was the picture of hospitality!
This music was transmitted by the griots
Who painted vivid portraits of the kingdom
Mbaboor became inextricably linked
To the history of Kajoor
Most importantly, it forged a new and enduring link
Between royalty and the common people
Where relations had been different before
As the clases lived and struggled and
Celebrated together
Common experience allowed them to identify
With one another
Ah! Birima!
A day spent in your presence
Was the picture of hospitality!

Join Ai Philly as we host our annual forum with a powerhouse discussion panel who will answer questions aimed at the nature of revolutionary tactics, the current climate of change, economic systems past and present and their impending collapse, and discuss the necessary components of an Afrikan Renaissance.

Questions will be asked by moderators in a Q&A style, with an opportunity for participants to ask additional questions at the end.

Panel will include:

Per aat, Dr. Ama Mazama - Guadeloupe
Sesh, Dr. Molefi Kete Asante - U.S.
Professor Bayyinah Bello - Ayiti
Dr. Ọbádélé Bakari Kambon - Ghana

In this video we target one of the biggest threats to true Afrikan sovereignty: "domestic violence" or what we more accurately call domestic genocide. We must band together to heal these physical and psychological wounds. Only then can we heal the Afrikan nation.

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.
