With the fall of Granada, the Age of Discovery begins! First up is Henry the Navigator. Henry was the son of John I. He set Portugal on the fast path to discovery. His patronage allowed for the exploration of the coast of Africa, naval improvements like the Caravel, and he was renowned as creating his famous School of Navigation (which may not have existed).

In Nigeria, ethnicity did not merely emerge as an identity—it evolved into a currency of power. Renowned historian Professor Toyin Falola, University Distinguished Teaching Professor and holder of the Frances and Jacob Sanger Mossiker Chair in the Humanities at The University of Texas at Austin, looks at how ethnic belonging was transformed from a marker of culture into a political weapon within the Nigerian state.To order Falola’s books, visit udarabooks.com Or chat with Udara Books on WhatsApp: +2348099918449

⁣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.

Feel free to share your thoughts, and Link Up!
