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.

1 Organic pineapple
1 can organic coconut milk

1 Large Kichen Knife
Juicer and/or blender
Pineapple corer
Can opener

1. Turn the pineapple on its side and chop off the top as shown.

2. Take the corer and remove the pineapple down to within a quarter inch of the base.
Note: Don't core too far down or you will puncture the base of the pineapple. If you do that your pina colada will spill out of the bottom when you try to refill the rind.

2. Turn it on at the pineapple setting and put the pineapple in the juicer. Turn off when finished.

3. Open the can of coconut milk.

4. Add a 4 or ounce can of coconut milk and the juice pineapple in a glass blender. Optionally you can add some of the pulp from the juicing to get the fiber and the nutrients.

If you don't have a blender you can stir the ingredients together with a spoon or put in a jar with a lid and shake vigorously.

5. Pour the Pina Colada back into the rind.

6. Drink from the rind directly or with a straw.

Pineapple is a good source of vitamin C, manganese, and B1 and B6. Don't let your pina colada sit in open-air for very long.

It might be good to pair similar nutrient supplements with your pina colada for improved absorption of those nutrients.

The best way to get the nutrients is to drink your pina colada quickly. The more contact with oxygen the more the vitamin oxidizes and breaks down. In other words, the vitamin C loses its potency and you lose the nutritional value.

Pineapple and coconut are both immune builders.

AFRIKAN WORLDVIEW
Out of invisible boundaries Africa was needlessly partitioned displacing families and creating an illusion of fragmented and different African people. Till today Africa has been unable to erase these disruptive invisible lines.
During the period of New Imperialism between 1881 and 1914 the scramble for Afrika caused the death and denigration of many Afrikans, holding back growth and destroying numerous African civilizations, mentally erasing and blinding Africans to their immense contributions towards humanity.
Based on what we had in our soil, they called our land the land of gold, Gold Coast. The land colonized by Akwesi Buroni for its natural resources and minerals and after years of continuous resistance and fighting against colonial rule our forefathers and foremothers finally threw off the yoke of British colonial rule. Led by Ɔsagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah a new nation was born; a nation charged to take absolute control of its growth economically, politically and socially.
Those were changing times for Ghana. Through self-discovery our nation was geared up to move forward, breaking the shackles of yesterday.

Where is Afrika today? Who is the Afrikan and what does she stand for? Has Ghana rediscovered itself, have the shackles of yesterday been broken, at last, the shackles of slavery and colonization?

Brother Omowale Afrika engages in an examination of the different schools of Pan-Afrikanism, the current state of the movement and which is the most effective for us to pursue in the current era.

On the 15th February 1965, after an extensive tour of the African continent, Omowale Malcolm X was scheduled to deliver The Program of his new formation, the Organisation of Afro-American Unity (OAAU). This presentation was postponed due to a fire bombing of his family home.

The rescheduled date was 21st February - which would become the fateful day that our "living Black Manhood" paid the ultimate price for African Liberation.

The mark of a great leader is that they leave a well defined program for those who come after them. The program of the OAAU is the result of much study of the African World, beginning with the conditions of Africans in America. It was penned by the illustrious Baba John Henrik Clarke, in consultation with Omowale Malcolm X, his big sister Ella Collins and others in the OAAU Leadership.

Due to mass revisionism of the life & legacy of Omowale Malcolm X, this document, along with his OAAU founding rally speeches are woefully under appreciated. Together, they reveal his very clear Black Nationalist Pan-Afrikanist Orientation and pragmatic approach to solving the problems of African people the world over.

We share this now, in the hope to shine a light on the legacy of Papa Omowale and the powerful spirit of the organisation he was in the process of building. Listen to the clarity of perspective; the practicality of the program; and its enduring relevance to us in todays world.
