Product Description:
In this powerful and wide-ranging interview recorded at Akuapem Mampɔn on June 14, 2025, world-renowned scholar and traditional leader Ɔbenfo Ọbádélé Bakari Kambon shares deep personal insights and sacred cultural wisdom rooted in Abibifahodie ‘Black Liberation’ and Abibitumi ‘Black Power’.

From his home birth in Brooklyn with midwives trained in Akan spirituality to becoming an Associate Professor at the University of Ghana, Ɔbenfo Ọbádélé Kambon recounts a journey of return, resistance, and reclamation. He offers listeners an intimate view into the linguistic, spiritual, architectural, and philosophical foundations of a Black-affirming worldview rooted in Kmt(yw) ‘Black People’ continuity across millennia.

🎧 Key themes covered include:

• The origins and sacred function of adinkra as a Black writing system among many.

• The story and evolution of Sankɔfa Journey, repatriation, and cultural restoration.

• The politics of appropriation vs. rightful Kmtyw nb (“Pan-Afrikan”) usage of Kente and traditional symbols.

• The etymological roots and embedded cosmologies in fabric, architecture, and names.

• His process of training artisans to relearn and faithfully reproduce mdw nTr (Medu Neter) and adinkra.

• Real-life application of language revitalization, homeschooling, and cultural sovereignty.

🖤 With passionate storytelling, historical evidence, and real-world solutions, Ɔbenfo Ọbádélé Kambon addresses cultural integrity, spiritual continuity, and the dangers of cultural amnesia. He redefines education, not as krakkka imitation, but as Black liberation encoded in everything from architecture to apparel.
