⁣Link Up Podcast — Ep 8 | Ft Okuninibaa Ɛna Mawiyah Kambon (Spirit, Healing, and Black Power)
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 Okuniniba Ɛna Mawiyah Kambon (Nana Efia Nsia Asantewaa) — a Blacktastic elder, mother, grandmother, spirit worker, psychologist, founder of Sankɔfa Journey and Onipa, and co-builder of Blacknificent Books and Cultural Center. Mama Mawiyah takes us through her journey from being born in Harlem, raised by her grandparents in Connecticut, shaped by her grandmother’s strength, love for children, and community work, and awakened more deeply during the Black Power era as she moved through college and answered the growing call to serve her people.

We discuss her life with Nana Kamau Kambon, the building of Blacknificent Books, the BlackPowerful scholars and warriors who passed through that space, her first journey to Ghana, initiation, spirit work, Sankɔfa Journey, the power of feeling our ancestors at the dungeons, and why returning home must be more than tourism. The conversation also moves through sacred land, Black family, child psychology, healing work, guided meditation, Sacred Sister Journey, and Mama Mawiyah’s reminder that she is not the healer, but a guide and tool used by spirit to create space where healing can happen. This is a conversation about spirit, Sankɔfa, Black healing, Black institutions, ancestral guidance, and the work required to help our people restore, remember, and return.

* 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.
