In this episode of the Change Africa Podcast, host Isaac Aboah sits down with Paakow Essandoh, founder of the celebrated fashion brand Mizizi, to explore the power of fashion as a tool for cultural identity, diaspora connection, and creative entrepreneurship.Paakow shares how Mizizi was born out of his quest to reconnect with African heritage after feeling culturally disconnected growing up in the diaspora. What started as a passion project quickly became a global brand celebrating African pride through bold designs, cultural storytelling, and authentic community engagement.The conversation explores the challenges of building a culturally sensitive brand, the role of collaboration and music in expanding reach, and how Mizizi navigated its rise from social media buzz to partnerships with major cultural institutions like Marvel. Paakow emphasizes the value of persistence, adaptability, and surrounding yourself with the right people to grow sustainably.From personal identity to global impact, this episode highlights how fashion can help reclaim narratives, build movements, and reshape how Africa is seen, both by the world and by its diaspora.Episode Summary00:00 – Introduction to Change Africa Podcast01:01 – Paakow Essandoh: Bridging Cultures Through Fashion05:03 – The Journey of Entrepreneurship08:59 – Grappling with Identity and Blackness12:03 – Promoting African Culture Through Fashion13:02 – The Launch of Mizizi and Initial Success16:02 – Evolving the Brand and Cultural Sensitivity19:09 – Media Attention and the Rise of Mizizi20:54 – Sustaining Success in African Fashion23:06 – Collaborations and Future Directions23:50 – Building Connections Through Music and Fashion26:29 – The Impact of African Culture on the Diaspora29:02 – Collaborating with Marvel: A Journey of Persistence38:08 – The Role of People in Business Success41:27 – The Talent and Potential of African Creatives45:48 – The Future of African Creativity and Global RepresentationFurther Reading and ResourcesExplore Mizizi at mizizishop.comDiscover how Mizizi partnered with Marvel and other global brandsLearn more about diaspora fashion and storytelling via The Folklore and OkayAfricaThis podcast is a production of Nexa Media.Do you have a question for our hosts?

Far from her childhood on a farm in Bavaria, Regina Huber has lived and worked in Argentina, Brazil, US and Africa. She brings this richness of understanding of the human experience to her work of helping people connect more deeply with one another. Regina is the author of Speak up, Stand out and Shine and is CEO of Transform Your Performance and her journey to where she is now is a fascinating one, full of life lessons, incredible leadership experiences and tenacity.  Regina introduces us to the four components of the new paradigm leadership framework: mind, message, trust, and heart. We delve into the importance of trust in teams, the role of conversational intelligence in building said trust, and the concept of "heart" in leadership. We even take a precious minute to work on our ‘inner power energy bubble' for that leadership confidence and presence when under pressure!  Shownotes See more at http://www.zoerouth.com/podcast/leadership-paradigm-regina-huber Key Moments  Planet Human: Could you be the next Chief Heat Officer?

In this episode snippet, Adrian and Michael discuss the importance of passing on your culture, heritage and the language of your parents to your children. In this instance, passing on Twi to their kids.  We also explore the dangers of not teaching kids your foreign language and the benefits and advantages for them when they grow up or want to invest and relocate in Ghana or the African Continent.

How To Be an Anti-Racist in Adoptive Families with Lanise Antoine Shelley "It's vital to feel a sense of connectivity to your name, to your environment, and to the people that you choose to love." - Lanise Antoine Shelley If you're an adoptee who's feeling a constant sense of disconnection and confusion as you try to fit into a world that doesn't fully understand or appreciate your unique transracial adoptee experience, then you are not alone! Many adoptees may find themselves struggling to navigate their identity, grasping at societal norms and expectations that do not align with their true selves. Despite their efforts to assimilate, they may still face rejection, ignorance, and a persistent feeling of being othered. This painful reality often leads to a deep yearning for acceptance and a strong desire to reclaim their authentic identity, free from the confines of societal expectations. And if you're an adoptive parent in an interracial or intercultural adoption, open your heart up to some possibly uncomfortable but extremely important truths about race in this episode. ===============

Greetings Oddities!    This week i finally take the initial dive deep down the rabbit hole on the history of the Cold War era Congress For Cultural Freedom. Talk about culture creators, and influencers. This group of mostly former Communists, and Trotskyites turned Social Democrats were behind various formed of art, literary works including Expressionist Art, Plays, Concerts, Festivals, Conventions, Movies like Dr. Zhivago, and Books From authors like Arthur Koestler, and Hannah Arendt. Odd Man Out Patreon  https://www.patreon.com/theoddmanout   Thank You For Your Continued Support.   Show Notes They had offices in numerous countries, & high-end magazines as well which featured articles written by authors like Bertrand Russell, & George Orwell. Congress For Cultural Freedom Code Name-QKopera Frances Stonor Saunders https://youtu.be/FYLoyyR1qtI Spawned out of group humanist, & Fabian John Dewey formed In 1939 called the "American Committee for Cultural Freedom” which continued on even after the Congress For Cultural Freedom was formed. Founded: 26 June 1950 Dissolved: 1979 (as International Association for Cultural Freedom) The CIA wanted to influence other parts of the world in order to combat the growing sentiment towards Communism, focusing especially on artists, play-writes, musicians as well as intellectuals. Both of whom they knew would go on to influence many others. Many members were former Communist Party members. Trotskyites specifically who'd turned against Stalin, & his totalitarian measures. Most were not pro-American by any means. They were generally Democratic Socialist types. Like modern Libs, they believed America was backwards, & lacked culture. Quite a few top members were of Eastern European Jewish descent. Obviously, they had no intentions of spreading traditional American rugged individualistic, or patriotic ideology. They were all about "dumbocracy" aka, the Liberal World Order.

In the years after World War II, hundreds of millions of Africans experienced newfound independence after decades or in some cases centuries of Colonialism.  But in South Africa, the descendants of white settlers, and other European immigrants increased the subjugation of 90 percent of the populace through overtly racist policies under the umbrella term of Apartheid. During the Apartheid era, non-whites couldn't vote, marry, go to school with, or live alongside whites. Many also lost citizenship rights in their own nation.Gabeba Baderoon grew up in this era but as a young woman saw the end of Apartheid.  She is now an Associate Professor of  Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies, and African Studies at Penn State. Gabeba is also an award-winning poet. In this episode, I talk to Gabeba about South African society under apartheid both broadly and from her own personal experiences.Gabeba Baderoon's work: Amazon profileMusic: PixabayPhoto: An example Apartheid segregation photo 12345 Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0
