⁣Link Up Podcast — Ep 12 | Ft Agya Kwadwo and Mama Kenya (Love, Land & Legacy)
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, Agya Kwadwo comes back as Link Up’s first returning guest, this time with Mama Kenya — the “air under his wings” — to tell the fuller story behind the work, the balance, and the family foundation that has helped shape their path. They bring us through their 31 years journey of love, family, consciousness, and return.

We discuss Agya Kwadwo’s New Jersey upbringing, Mama Kenya’s roots in Newport News, Virginia, their Hampton University love story, their marriage on Hampton’s campus, military life, raising children, and the powerful role of Know Thyself Bookstore in Tacoma as a community space that deepened their consciousness. The conversation also moves through Agya Kwadwo’s first trip to Ghana, the spiritual connection to his great-grandmother, buying land for generations yet unborn, joining the xmnw Medjay Community, Mama Kenya preparing for her first Sankɔfa Journey, and the legacy they are building so their children and future generations have an ancestral option to return, grow, and live as whole Black people.

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.

Sewaa Nataki and Sewaase Akosua had a great time at the eye exam and dental cleaning. We captured the day in a few clips and turned them into reels.
The doctors were super cool and took time to show Akosua how the equipment works. She even got to look straight into the doctor’s eye through the equipment—which was seriously Blacktastic! 🖤✨
Future Dr. Akosua loading… 👩🏾‍⚕️📚✨

After a fun day at the eye and dental clinic Sewaa Nataki and Akosua made it into a fun video editing project. Here is how we turn thoughtful camera work into a story.

⁣Link Up Podcast — Ep 11 (part 1) | Ft Akosua Kambon and Ɔbenfo Ọbádélé Bakari Kambon (Youth in Action, Abibitumi 20, Upcoming Book)
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 for a special two-for-one Episode 11 Part 1 featuring Akosua Kambon and Ɔbenfo Ọbádélé Bakari Kambon. We begin with Akosua, as she shares the Blacktastic work she has already started building through her Twi teaching show "Akosua & Afia Agorɔ", popcorn making videos "Akosua’s Crunchy Creations", and her interests in fashion, baking, singing, dancing and so much more. We discuss her recent experience on the Sankɔfa Journey 2025, including the Abibitumi Conference, and her first plane ride to Burkina Faso. Her section is a living reminder that Black children do not have to wait until adulthood to use their talents towards contributing to building Abibifahodie (Black Liberation).

We then Link Up with Akosua's Agya, Ɔbenfo Ọbádélé Bakari Kambon for the beginning of a two-part discussion. In this first portion we cover the inspiration behind building Abibitumi and the 20-year journey of development, the move from Abibitumi Kasa as Black Power Language into a broader all-Black ecosystem, and the work of turning a Black digital space into a Black physical model through Abibitumi headquarters and the xmnw Medjay Community. The conversation also moves through his upcoming book, "The Construction of Black Civilization, Vol. 1", Mdw Ntr, primary source research, and what it means to stop treating Black Power as theory and start building it in every area of human activity.

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.

⁣Link Up Podcast — Ep 9 | Ft sbA Akinjide Bonotchi Montgomery (Black Power, Mdw Ntr, Restoring Ma'At)
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 sbA Akinjide Bonotchi Montgomery, experiencing the Black Power movement in Detroit, seeing the need to learn Mdw Ntr, becoming a long standing Abibitumi instructor. sbA Bonotchi is a straight-shooting warrior scholar who shows the importance of learning Mdw Ntr, and how it is needed towards building Black Power. He takes us through his upbringing in Detroit, the strength and discipline of his mother, the Black nationalist environment of the 1960s and 70s, the Panthers, the Shrine of the Black Madonna, COINTELPRO, and the political consciousness that shaped a generation before it was deliberately crushed.

We discuss his journey to Kemet with Okunini Dr. Ben, learning Mdw Ntr through serious study, becoming a teacher with Abibitumi, and why the language must lead to action rather than empty intellectual collection. sbA Bonotchi shares the practical power of Mdw Ntr, the danger of words like artificial, unnatural, democracy, spirituality, integration, diversity, and why Black people must stop letting others define reality for us. This is a conversation about the work required to think, speak, and act from a perspective of what is real.

* 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.
