⁣Link Up Podcast — Episode 2 | Featuring Baba Kofi and Mama Abena (The Shakirs)

Hosts: Niara Esi Ìjèawelē Ọmọlará Kwento & Bakari Kwadwo Ọbatayé Kwento

* with an Abibitumi 20 year tribute from Ɛna Nkanyezi *

Akɔaba, Woezɔ, Oɔbaake (welcome) Black to the 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 Baba Kofi and Mama Abena (The Shakir's) — a Blacktacular couple who share their journey from life in the snakkkes to repatriating home to Ghana. Their story moves through family, community, raised consciousness, the Marcus Garvey influence, Nation of Islam experiences, travel across the Black Land, and the deeper process of (the 4 R's) relocating, repatriating, reclaiming Blackness, and recovering from life inside the “snakkkes”.

This is a conversation about more than moving. It is about coming home, building family infrastructure, recovering humanity, and demonstrating over conversation.

Feel free to share your thoughts, and Link Up!

Ayeee Kooo!!! The Kwentos have done it again with yet another great series! I am only half way through this video and I am thoroughly enjoying this discussion, learning more about our new coming family/community members, the Shakirs. I love, love, love their get up and go spirit. I appreciate all the serious gems shared; the four R's, the ancestral call home, their journey to each other and to Ghana, it's more than worth it to watch! I look forward to meeting the rest of the family when they come. And most definitely looking for the next episode of Link Up! Meda mo ase for this!
