Podcasts about Ashanti

In the aftermath of the catastrophic Third Anglo-Ashanti War, Asantehene Kofi Kakari desperately tries to bring Ashanti finances into a state of normalcy and gets impeached for his efforts. The responsibility to stop the imminent economic and political collapse of the Ashanti Empire falls to Kakari's brother, an obscure prince named Mensa Bonsu. His first challenge comes when Juaben, the second most important city in the entire empire, and Adansi, the capital of Ashanti gold mining operations, try to secede from the Ashanti fold.Support the show

“If anything, you're on a journey. And if you want to use a metaphor of a kayak in a river, don't worry about who's looking on the shores. It's just you and your paddle and the water.” - Tu David Phu Ever Forward Club's Ashanti Branch is joined by Tu David Phu. Tu is a renowned chef. You may recognize him from Bravo's television show, “Top Chef”, or write-ups from the San Francisco Chronicle, or his documentary that aired on PBS, “Bloodline.” Tu boils life down to “living and loving righteously”. And he does this through filmmaking and “food justice” - whether it be sharing the therapeutic powers of cooking with incarcerated men, serving the Asian American community, or being a champion for sustainable cooking. His attitudes toward justice, masculinity, and power narratives were shaped at a young age. Enjoy learning about Chef Tu's masks in this episode! (2:10) Ashanti's introduction. (5:40) Ashanti and Tu discuss how America's definition of masculinity is defined by violent Eurocentric narratives, which differ from many cultures around the world. (10:30) Then, Ashanti and Tu look back on their childhood, and how narratives and systems that emasculate certain young men and boys strip them of their authentic identity. (27:40) Tu shares some of the masks he encounters in the world of food and media, and how he is trying to live by what he preaches. (32:20) Tu and Ashanti discuss the relationship between sports and the dominant masculine culture, and how it shields young minds off from a world of possibilities, careers, successes, and passions. (40:40) Ashanti and Tu make their masks together. (47:25) Tu shares the front of his mask - I am big and strong, I have tattoos, I am a chef - and the back of his mask - I cry, I do a baby voice with my puppies, I've experienced abuse. (54:50) Ashanti shares the front of his mask - funny, serious, dedicated - and the back of his mask - fear of failure, momma is so important to me, worry about being enough. (59:10) Tu shares how you can get in touch with him. --- Connect with Tu David Phu: Website: cheftu.com Watch “Bloodline”: cheftu.com/watch Social Media: @cheftudavidphu --- Create your own mask anonymously at www.100kmasks.com If you are interested in being on the Face to Face podcast, email us at everforwardclub@gmail.com --- Connect with Ashanti Branch: Instagram: instagram.com/branchspeaks Facebook: facebook.com/BranchSpeaks Twitter: twitter.com/BranchSpeaks LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/ashantibranch Website: branchspeaks.com --- Send in a voice message: anchor.fm/branch-speaks/message --- Connect with Ever Forward Club: Instagram: instagram.com/everforward Facebook: facebook.com/everforwardclub Twitter: twitter.com/everforwardclub LinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/the-ever-forward-club

She later segued to Black radio holding numerous positions, and in 1989 she joined Def Jam Recordings as a regional marketing rep. Within one year Walker was promoted to National Director of Promotion.

Just last month American rapper Da Baby was in Nigeria to work on a single with Afrobeats megastar Davido. Davido also travelled to American to finish up the song in preparation for its imminent release. It's been two years since DaBaby liberated his third studio LP BLAME IT ON BABY, which initially contained 13 songs and contributions from Quavo, Future, Roddy Ricch, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, JetsonMade, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, London On Da Track, Ashanti, and Megan Thee Stallion. The project earned DaBabyhis second number one on the Billboard 200 thanks to 124,000 first-week album equivalent units sold. In addition to crossing the Platinum mark, BLAME IT ON BABYreceived a deluxe edition with 11 additional cuts some months later. Since that album's release, DaBaby continued his hip hop reign with My Brother's Keeper (a heartfelt EP dedicated to his late brother Glenn Johnson), Back on My Baby Jesus Sh!t Again, and — back in March — Better Than You with YoungBoy. source: https://www.revolt.tv/article/2022-06-24/176189/dababy-connects-with-davido-for-showing-off-her-body/ --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/masseffect/support

“As a guy, I want to be able to express my emotions. I would hate for other youth or young men to feel like they can't do that. It's such a narrow way of being. You miss out on such a huge experience if you don't get to talk about how you're doing.” - Nicholas M. Ever Forward Club's Ashanti Branch is joined by Nicholas M.

As the Ashanti armies retreated back across the Pra River, Kofi Kakari and the Ashanti legislature were forced to admit defeat. They offered to concede on all of the British demands. However, the British commander Garnet Wolesly was not willing to accept these terms. Despite the pleas of others in the British colonial authority, Wolesly decided that there was only one way that the Anglo-Ashanti Wars would end: with the complete destruction of the Ashanti Empire.The (all) UnknowingWhat does it mean to know?

So April 2020 at the start of Covid I got nostalgic and recorded a 90's (isolating in the) house mix. A year later Ontario was going into yet another 4 week lockdown and I got nostalgic again, posting a hip hop from my twenties mix. This year I figured I'd keep with this new tradition of nostalgia for April and am posting a Throwback rn'b mix! This mix is more mainstream than my usual more "neo soul" rn'b vibes, inspired heavily by a wedding I had recently dj'd, where the grooms wanted throwback rn'b during dinner. Hope you enjoy this timeless mix!Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dj_j_me Subscribe on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/id306968245 Follow on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/dj_j_me Bookings & Merch: jamiewichartz @ yahoo.ca

This week, The Junkies continue their in-depth look into beloved actor Samuel L. Jackson's most iconic roles by watching Coach Carter, the feel-good, based-on-a-true-story of a basketball coach who demanded more of his players than they were willing to give…at first. This movie is big on heart but has shockingly few F-bombs, and marks the first on-screen appearances of Channing Tatum and Ashanti, along with Octavia Spencer and that guy from Cousin Skeeter. This is one of the movies that inspired Hayley into going into education, and she, Nicole and Alex talk about the late 90s soundtrack and fashion, all that One Tree Hill-style teen drama, and their biggest fears. Spoiler alert: someone is afraid of potato bread.You can prepare for the next class by watching Samuel L.

“Public speaking has always made me very very nervous, on a neurological level. So there's a part of me that feels safe when I'm writing because I can spend a really long time working through one sentence. And also I can make sure that it's padded by all of the caveats…” - Jason Rogers Ever Forward Club's Ashanti Branch is joined by Jason Rogers. Jason is an Olympic medalist in fencing and a regular contributor to Men's Health magazine. As an Olympic medalist, he spent most of his life conforming to unhealthy expectations of manhood. Now, he spends his time undoing these expectations by writing about the evolving state of masculinity. Jason and Ashanti share their masks, analyze the phenomenon of “public vulnerability”, and create space for a writer and a speaker to share where they lack confidence. Enjoy the show! (2:00) Ashanti's introduction. (8:40) Jason introduces himself and his work. Then, he and Ashanti look back on how they first connected.

(19:30) Jason shares the front of his mask - nice!, confident, easygoing - and how he found himself performing for the approval of others throughout his life. (24:00) Ashanti shares the back of his mask - doubt, overwhelmed, fear - and opens up with some of the struggles of his work. (29:00) Jason and Ashanti take a step back and ask the question, “why do we share publicly?” “Why are we publicly vulnerable?” (32:40) Jason shares the back of his mask - selfish, judgmental, stressed - and how these elements of himself are habits within him that he is reconciling. (35:30) Jason and Ashanti come back to the idea of public vulnerability. (40:45) Ashanti examines how, as a public speaker, he struggles with writing. Then, Jason examines how, as a writer, he struggles with public speaking.

“We all grow up with an accent. We all grow up speaking a language, an emotional language, and the longer we stay in that emotional language the harder it is to learn a new one.” - Dr. Steve Perry Ever Forward Club's Ashanti Branch is joined by Dr. Steve Perry. Dr. Perry is an educator, bestselling author, and the Founder and Head of Schools of Capital Preparatory Schools. Using his powerful voice to fight for disadvantaged children and families for over thirty years, you may have seen Dr. Perry on CNN and NBC, or with Oprah, P. Diddy, and Steve Harvey. Dr. Perry believes that the success of a life is not determined by where you start, but by where you end. He also believes that how you deal with your emotions is a major indicator of success. Some of these emotional languages are programmed deep within us - and, in this episode, Dr. Perry shows how he has found power in regulating his. (2:20) Ashanti's introduction.

Shakira and Ashanti Akabusi grew up in the UK and the US, supporting their dad - Kris Akabusi's - stellar athletics career. Encouraged by him and their "tenacious" German mum, they had a very outdoorsy childhood with limited junk food and telly... The weight of expectation which came with their famous name was tough for a time, but both sisters are now incredibly proud to be Akabusis and value the work ethic they inherited. Being keen to protect each other from the hard stuff meant that Shakira suffered alone with post natal anxiety for a while, until she reached out to family.

In 1873, Ashanti crowds celebrated as the nation's army marched through the streets of Kumasi. This army was en route to leave the city in a southern direction, where they would invade the British protectorate and force the British to relinquish their claims on Elmina. This celebration would not last long, as the Ashanti offensive of 1873 would soon devolve into a major military humiliation, and open the gates for a far worse fate to befall Asanteman. Smart Passive Income PodcastWeekly interviews, strategy, and advice for building your online business the smart way.Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show

“I always want to avoid the pain as quickly as possible. But, guess what? You have half of your life - trying to get away, run away… And, when you try to work on that, you are now saying, ‘No, I'm not going to run away. I'm going to stay in my body. I'm going to be with that person I don't want to be with, or make that war I don't want to make. I'm going to grow consciously.'” - Samuel Trejo Aburto Ever Forward Club's Ashanti Branch is joined by Samuel Trejo Aburto. Samuel is passionate about “the evolution of the Being” on all levels. He's passionate about individual Beings - what he refers to as internal engineering and healthy lifestyles - by applying theories such as the Enneagram Test to his life and his work. He's passionate about the engineering of our planet - contributing his thoughts to NGOs focused on sustainable, non-motorized mobility. So, if you've read this far, you can tell Samuel is a high-minded individual. However, these high-minded concepts are very grounded in their application… We hope you enjoy learning about Samuel's “internal engineering” :) (1:35) Ashanti introduces Samuel and shares his thoughts on the tragedy in Uvalde, Texas. (14:10) Samuel introduces himself. He talks about Puebla, Mexico, and what it means to be a seeker for unification according to Hindu teachings. (19:40) Samuel shares the front of his mask and how he applies the Enneagram Test to the front of his mask. Samuel, according to the Enneagram, is often an “Enthusiast” and a “Perfectionist”. Then, he breaks down Ashanti's Enneagram and shares some thoughts on why it's important to surround yourself with people from different age groups. (30:45) Ashanti shares the front of his mask - funny, dedicated, caring - and describes the “interceptor” that filters his feelings and changes how he presents himself. (38:50) Samuel shares the back of his mask - to avoid the pain, anger, emptiness. (42:50) Ashanti shares the back of his mask - worry, fear, burnout. Then, he and Samuel analyze how fear operates in the human brain. (49:20) Samuel explains why he believes it takes ten years to change a habit or a characteristic within yourself.

Johnnie Walker began her career as a country music radio personality. She later segued to Black radio holding numerous positions, and in 1989 she joined Def Jam Recordings as a regional marketing rep. Within one year Walker was promoted to National Director of Promotion. The Sr. National Director position soon followed and positioned Walker to be instrumental in launching the careers of Redman, Method Man, Onyx, Montell Jordan, Ashanti, Sisqo, and Foxy Brown! Making the move to New York City in 1997, Walker was named Vice President of Promotion for Def Jam. A year later, after restructuring the company's promotions department and its field staff, Walker was named Sr. Vice President. During her tenure, her team successfully marketed Def Comedy Jam, Phat Farm clothing, Russell Simmons' co-produced movies, "The Nutty Professor,” Jackie Chan's “Rush Hour 1 and 2” plus several #1 Gold and Platinum albums from Jay-Z, Sisqo, Kelly Price, Ashanti, Ja Rule, DMX, LL Cool J, Musiq, Dru Hill, and others.

“More often than not the mask is a survival mechanism for me. It's serving a purpose to allow me to get through this interaction, this engagement, this party, this wedding that we're a part of… It's just enough to get me through, so long as I have a ritual and a way to take it off when I'm around the ones that matter.” - Brandon Clift Ever Forward Club's Ashanti Branch is joined by Brandon Clift. After reaching a supposed level of “success”, Brandon reached a point in life where he needed to leave everything he owned behind. He left Australia and found the power of men's work through the ManKind Project. And through his travels, he has helped grow and establish men's circles all over the world. He now hosts the ManKind Podcast, which “breaks the old molds of modern manhood to prove there is more than one way to be a man.” We hope you enjoy learning about how Brandon seeks to break the molds of his own masks! (2:10) Ashanti's introduction. (8:10) Ashanti and Brandon reflect on how they first met and all of the memories they've shared, which include film screenings, trips to Australia, and encounters with the Gold Coast police.

(20:10) Brandon shares the front of his mask - confidence, grounded, engaged.

(39:10) Brandon and Ashanti analyze why men are constantly being pressured to project strength and to prioritize thinking over feeling. (49:40) Brandon shares some final thoughts on encountering discomfort in conversations and doing the work. Then, he shares some information on the Mankind Podcast. --- Connect with Brandon Clift: Website: brandonclift.com Podcast: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mankind-podcast/id1555955858 Facebook: facebook.com/thebrandonclift Twitter: twitter.com/inthezone_365 --- Create your own mask anonymously at millionmask.org If you are interested in being on the Face to Face podcast, email us at everforwardclub@gmail.com --- Connect with Ashanti Branch: Instagram: instagram.com/branchspeaks Facebook: facebook.com/BranchSpeaks Twitter: twitter.com/BranchSpeaks LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/ashantibranch Website: branchspeaks.com --- Send in a voice message: anchor.fm/branch-speaks/message

When the British annexed the Dutch Gold Coast in 1872, a new conflict kicked off between the Ashanti and British Empires. Allowing the British to possess a complete monopoly on the Ghanaian coast was not an acceptable option for the Ashanti government. In response, the Ashanti government debated its next move. Would it be war?Support the show

“I've kind of worn the front of the mask so much that it's become attached… Even when I'm with myself, like, the ability to take it off has basically been diminished… It doesn't help that one of my titles is Captain Encouragement. ‘Wait, you're going through depression? Wait aren't you Captain Encouragement?'” - Nicholas Domingo Ever Forward Club's Ashanti Branch is joined by Nicholas Domingo. Nicholas is the creator and Executive Director of Captain Encouragement, a superhero (yes) and organization that promotes children's wellness. He also runs Happy Hive Studios, which helped create “Ever Forward Club: The Adventure.” On this podcast, we usually don't dive into our guest's career journey. But all the moments that led up to the creation of Captain Encouragement were so compelling - they led to a bountiful discussion on identity, validation, and societal constructs. (2:00) Ashanti's introduction. (8:30) Nicholas introduces himself, his work, and how he's dedicated his life to positive impact and service. (14:15) Ashanti shares the front of his mask - caring, funny, dedicated - and how the front of his mask can be misunderstood. (16:10) Ashanti shares the back of his mask - overload, worried, my brother. (20:00) Nicholas shares his mask. On the front is unshaken, strong, happy, and calm. On the back us vulnerable, tired, and afraid. Nicholas feels like he's worn the front of his mask for so long that it's become fixed to his face to the point where he may not even know the back of his mask. As Nicholas grows more in touch with the back of his mask, he and Ashanti celebrate the fact that they can only be fully loved if they are fully known. (28:55) Nicholas tells the origin story of Captain Encouragement and how he responded to being bullied as a child. Then, he and Ashanti take the time to appreciate following your heart and taking a leap of faith. (46:55) Nicholas and Ashanti discuss the human need for validation, and how an ethereal pursuit can be sidetracked by societal constructs. Then, Nicholas shares his thoughts on how social media and our need to capture everything on video perpetuates harmful behavior. (53:40) Nicholas started seeing a therapist. He shares how he has grown throughout the process. Then, Ashanti looks at all the ways that comic book superheroes receive therapy. (1:08:55) Nicholas shares where you can get in touch with him. --- Connect with Nicholas Domingo: Facebook: facebook.com/happyhivesp Instagram: instagram.com/smilewithnic Instagram: instagram.com/happyhivesp --- Create your own mask anonymously at millionmask.org If you are interested in being on the Face to Face podcast, email us at everforwardclub@gmail.com --- Connect with Ashanti Branch: Instagram: instagram.com/branchspeaks Facebook: facebook.com/BranchSpeaks Twitter: twitter.com/BranchSpeaks LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/ashantibranch Website: branchspeaks.com --- Send in a voice message: anchor.fm/branch-speaks/message

Amidst this chaos and violence, an unlikely candidate ascended to the golden stool: a previously minor prince named Kofi Kakari. Support the show

“In this society today, in this culture today that we live in… You have to have it all figured out before you can talk about it, or before you can speak on it. And we forget the school of life, we forget that we're constantly learning and evolving.
