⁣Link Up Podcast — Ep 7 | Ft Okunini Talawa Adodo (part 2)
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 once again with Okunini Talawa Adodo, and pick up where we left off in episode 6. This time we cover his connection to Mambo Ama Mazama, and his experience in Guadeloupe. An environment under stench occupation yet actively preserving its language, hair, music, Gwoka drum culture, and Black identity.

We discuss Black liberation celebrations, flag independence versus actual Black Power, Caribbean languages as Black languages rather than “stenglish-based” or “stench-based” creoles, and the fundamental relationship between language, worldview, grammar, and culture. The conversation also moves through Mdw Ntr, Jamaican, Twi, Igbo, Black parenting, bedroom colonialism, Cheikh Anta Diop, and Okunini Talawa’s larger mission to help Abibifoɔ speak, think, build, and raise the next generation Black to Black.

* 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.

⁣Link Up Podcast — Ep 11 (part 2) | Ft Ɔbenfo Ọbádélé Bakari Kambon (Abibitumi Conference, Abibiwiase, Film Festival, Open D.O.O.R. Dialogues)
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 again with Ɔbenfo Ọbádélé Bakari Kambon for Part 2 of our Episode 11 discussion. This portion centers on the expanding institutional work growing out of Abibitumi, including the upcoming Abibitumi Conference, the Abibitumi/Abibifahodie Film Festival, the developing Abibiwiase television show, and the Open D.O.O.R. Dialogues. Ɔbenfo explains how these projects are connected through the larger mission of creating Black spaces that are not just online, but physical, organized, and rooted in Black liberation work.

We discuss the origins of the film festival, the need for independent Black-controlled media spaces, the transition from the original Film Festival idea into the Abibitumi/Abibifahodie Film Festival, and the development of Abibiwiase as an upcoming television show. The conversation also moves through the Open D.O.O.R. Dialogues, including the role of the University of Ghana, the College of Humanities, and endorsements from major Ghana institutions. This is a conversation about building Black venues, Black media, Black conferences, Black festivals, and Black institutional power without waiting for stench approval.

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.
