Costumes pailletés, orchestres en direct à la télévision, vinyles qui tournent dans les salons : pendant deux décennies, Abidjan a fait danser toute l'Afrique de l'Ouest. Un patrimoine aujourd'hui menacé, que collectionneurs et archivistes s'efforcent de sauver disque par disque. Avant le rap Ivoire, avant le coupé-décalé, avant même le zouglou, il y avait les costumes pailletés de François Lougah, les déhanchés d'Ernesto Djédjé et le reggae d'Alpha Blondy. Dans les années 1970 et 1980, la Côte d'Ivoire vivait son âge d'or musical : les orchestres jouaient en direct à la télévision, les vinyles tournaient dans les salons, et les artistes remplissaient les salles bien au-delà des frontières du pays. Une époque mythique que les anciens racontent avec émotion, pendant que de jeunes passionnés tentent d'en sauver les traces. À 75 ans, dont 65 de carrière, Bailly Spinto n'a jamais quitté la scène. Surnommé « l'Homme à la voix d'or » ou « le Rossignol », ce chanteur à la croisée de la soul, du rock et du funk s'est construit une somptueuse villa au cœur de Yopougon, la commune la plus peuplée d'Abidjan. Ici, tout le monde le connaît, et les jeunes du quartier guident spontanément les visiteurs jusqu'à sa porte. « La plaque tournante de la musique ivoirienne, c'était la Côte d'Ivoire ! se souvient-il. Les stars comme Manu Dibango sont arrivés ici, ils se sont installés à la RTI, ils ont formé des artistes ivoiriens… Tout ça, c'était notre âge d'or ! » Les gardiens de la mémoire Cette mémoire, ce sont aussi de jeunes passionnés qui la font vivre. Dans un appartement de Cocody où il a installé son centre d'archives, BaouléCore, Cédric Kouamé, petite trentaine et grosses dreadlocks, a rassemblé une collection de 3 000 vinyles. Chaque week-end, il part « au village » fouiller les collections des anciens pour y dénicher des pépites, qu'il nettoie, écoute, classe et parfois numérise. Était-ce vraiment mieux avant ? « Une musique, pour être enregistrée, devait être réfléchie, répétée, écrite », explique-t-il pour justifier sa passion pour cette production « intemporelle ». Avec Mel Dagson, archiviste et historien qui tient une chaîne YouTube consacrée à la musique vintage ivoirienne, et l'aide à dater ses trouvailles, ils collectent les disques autant que les souvenirs. « Tous les fonctionnaires ivoiriens de l'époque possédaient tous le même meuble, une armoire symbole d'ascension sociale », raconte le premier. Le second complète : « Elle était garnie de deux indispensables : une collection de vaisselle pour recevoir, et une collection de vinyles pour faire danser leurs invités ». Un trio de géants L'extraordinaire production musicale des années 1970 repose sur les épaules de trois géants. Le premier, François Lougah, surnommé « le Papa national », est celui qui a ouvert la musique ivoirienne au monde, dès 1971-1972, jusqu'à jouer aux côtés des musiciens de la star zaïroise Abeti Masikini. Il est suivi, en 1975, par Ernesto Djédjé, chanteur et guitariste idolâtré pour ses déhanchés spectaculaires, qui invente à lui seul un genre révolutionnaire : le ziglibithy, un brassage des influences occidentales (funk, disco, reggae) avec le folklore bété. Le trio est complété en 1981 par Alpha Blondy, seul survivant de l'âge d'or, qui adapte le reggae à la sauce ivoirienne et porte la musique du pays à un niveau international inédit. « C'est celui qui a permis que le monde entier s'intéresse à la musique ivoirienne », résume Mel Dagson. Son album Cocody Rock (1984) bat des records de vente, tandis qu'Apartheid is Nazism (1985) est salué par la critique aux États-Unis. Les années 1980 consacrent aussi Bailly Spinto et le guitariste Jimmy Hyacinthe, ainsi que l'ascension de plusieurs divas : Aïcha Koné, Antoinette Konan, Chantal Taïba et Nayanka Bell. À l'époque, la musique se diffuse surtout par la radio, les night clubs et les dîners et galas organisés dans tout le pays. La RTI, école et tremplin Il est impossible de raconter cet âge d'or sans évoquer l'Orchestre de la Radiodiffusion télévision nationale (ORTI), dirigé de 1975 à 1979 par le saxophoniste camerounais Manu Dibango, à l'invitation d'Houphouët-Boigny lui-même. Un poste qui a permis d'irriguer la musique ivoirienne d'influences venues de toute la sous-région, du makossa camerounais aux rythmes congolais. Aujourd'hui, une partie de cette mémoire dort encore dans les archives de la RTI, à Cocody : 60 000 cassettes, dont certaines n'ont toujours pas été numérisées. La quasi-totalité des stars de l'époque sont passées par ses locaux. C'est le cas de la chanteuse Chantal Taïba, 44 ans de carrière, qui y a fait ses débuts à l'adolescence, contre l'avis de ses parents. « Je me suis levée un matin et je suis allée à l'orchestre leur proposer mes services », raconte-t-elle en riant. « Mais malheureusement, j'étais mineure, donc je ne pouvais pas être embauchée. » Une cousine a dû se porter garante pour qu'elle intègre l'orchestre, contre l'avis de ses parents. Sa réussite spectaculaire leur donnera tort. Au-delà de la visibilité, l'ORTI offrait aux artistes, souvent autodidactes, un salaire mensuel et un encadrement précieux dispensé par des professeurs de l'Institut national des Arts. « On accompagnait les grandes stars, Miriam Makeba, Tabuley… se souvient Chantal Taïba. Toutes les grandes stars qui passaient par la Côte d'Ivoire, c'est l'ORTI qui les accompagnait. En toute modestie, on était les meilleurs ! » Le studio JBZ, révolution technique L'autre point névralgique de la musique ivoirienne était le studio JBZ, monté en 1981 par Jacques Bizollon de Zuénoula, un Français naturalisé ivoirien qui lui a donné ses initiales. Premier studio d'enregistrement du pays, il a accueilli la crème des artistes ouest-africains jusqu'à sa fermeture, en 2018. Avant son ouverture, les artistes devaient partir enregistrer au Ghana ou au Nigeria, à grands frais. La méthode y était exigeante : « Un artiste prenait au moins 15 jours, trois semaines à faire un album, se souvient Jacques Bizollon. On faisait tout de A à Z : batterie, guitares, cuivres, puis les chœurs et les voix. On travaillait jour et nuit ! » Malgré ce succès, l'industrie musicale ivoirienne peine à se structurer. Il faut attendre 1981 pour voir naître le Bureau ivoirien du droit d'auteur (Burida), qui permet aux artistes de percevoir des redevances. Raïmi Gbadamassi, producteur nigérian installé à Abidjan et fondateur du label Badmos, en garde le souvenir : « Ernesto Djédjé percevait des droits au Burida et à la Sacem, et je lui ai payé un orchestre complet à l'époque, plus une voiture. » Malgré le succès, ces revenus ne suffisent pas toujours : faute de moyens, l'orchestre d'Ernesto Djédjé se sépare dès 1982. Le mécénat de Houphouët-Boigny Les artistes dépendent alors surtout de la générosité du président Félix Houphouët-Boigny, qui gouverne le pays de l'indépendance, en 1960, jusqu'à sa mort en 1993. Bailly Spinto fait partie de ses favoris. « Nous étions cinq ou six artistes, pas plus. Quand un président venait, c'est nous que Houphouët appelait pour chanter. » Il se souvient même que le chef de l'État a personnellement financé sa salle de concert à l'Olympia, à Paris, en 1992. Ce mécénat présidentiel a donné naissance à une expression toujours utilisée aujourd'hui : « mener la vie de Lougah », qui signifie dépenser sans compter. Une référence à François Lougah, connu pour son train de vie dispendieux - il se déplaçait notamment, dit la légende, en taxi-compteur, même pour ses voyages à l'intérieur du pays - dont le destin s'est achevé dans le dénuement. « Les Ivoiriens l'ont lâché », regrette Bailly Spinto. « Le grand François Lougah, le précurseur de la musique moderne… mon ami. » Un âge d'or aux échos contemporains L'âge d'or de la musique ivoirienne s'est éteint avec le miracle économique du pays, rattrapé dans les années 1980 par les crises économiques, politiques et militaires. Aujourd'hui, la bande-son d'Abidjan a bien changé : dans un pays où 75% de la population a moins de 35 ans, ce sont le rap Ivoire et le biama, version modernisée du coupé-décalé, qui rythment la rue. Mais les légendes des années 60-70-80 restent gravées dans la mémoire collective, jusque dans les productions les plus récentes. En témoigne Zadie Bobo, sorti l'an dernier (2025) par la chanteuse Carina Style et le rappeur Mister Christ : une reprise d'un classique de 1977 signé Ernesto Djédjé, dont les paroles rendent directement hommage au ziglibithy. Preuve que cinquante ans plus tard, la Côte d'Ivoire n'a rien perdu de sa créativité.

The work may feel heavier, responsibilities may be piling up, and the strength you had earlier may not feel quite as strong now. This is the moment to remember that your strength does not have to come from you alone. Scripture — Philippians 4:13 (NIV) “I can do all this through him who gives me strength.” Prayer Father, the day is moving now, and perhaps the energy of the morning has begun to fade. So I come back to the truth we have already carried today: You are with me, and this day is in Your hands. Your Word says, “I can do all this through him who gives me strength.” Lord Jesus, keep me from believing that I have to carry every responsibility through my own ability. Give me strength for the work in front of me, patience when progress is slow, and perseverance when I feel like stopping. I pray for Australia, China, Hong Kong, Ghana, Nigeria and Rwanda. Strengthen people who are working hard, caring for others, facing difficult decisions or quietly wondering whether they have enough strength left. Jesus, I look to You. You know my limitations, and You know where I need grace. Help me understand that Your strength does not mean I will never feel tired. It means I do not have to be ruled by my tiredness. When I am weak, teach me to lean on You. Holy Spirit, breathe fresh strength into weary hearts. Give us wisdom to know when to keep going, courage to take the next step and humility to ask for help when we need it. Father, I bring You the tasks still unfinished and the challenges still ahead. I will not demand that everything be completed today. Give me grace to be faithful with what is before me. And when I reach my limits, remind me that my strength does not begin and end with me. Christ is with me, Christ strengthens me, and Christ will remain faithful. Amen. Blessing May Christ give you strength for what remains of this day, patience for what takes time and grace for every step ahead.

We look at three solutions connected to the “three Rs” – reduce, reuse and recycle. The city of Brussels in Belgium is in the process of moving all 40 municipal nurseries over to reusable nappies – and have managed to do it without their staff kicking up a stink! Also energy companies around the world have found ways to encourage customers to reduce their consumption by making it fun, and lastly we meet Makafui Awuku in Ghana - a man on a mission to turn used plastic into school desks.

In this solo episode of the Explaining History Podcast, we explore the Macmillan years – that remarkable, contradictory period of post-war British history when the country was forced to confront its diminished place in the world, even as it sought to cling to the vestiges of imperial power.When Anthony Eden led Britain into the Suez Crisis in 1956, he did so believing that Britain could still act unilaterally on the world stage. The rebuke from Eisenhower told a different story. The crisis exposed the weakness of Britain's post-war economy, triggered a run on the reserves, and revealed that the country could no longer act without American permission.Harold Macmillan – who became Chancellor in the aftermath and then Prime Minister in January 1957 – understood the lesson. Suez had been a tactical defeat, he told his cabinet, but it could yet prove "the prelude to a strategic victory." What followed was a decade of managed decline: the military budget was cut, national service was abolished, and the white paper on defence argued that spending 10% of gross national income on defence was excessive.Drawing on Kenneth Morgan's *The People's Peace*, we examine the "one nation Toryism" that characterised Macmillan's government – a form of liberal conservatism that would be denounced by today's Tory party as "creeping Bolshevism." We trace the withdrawal from empire: the end of the Mau Mau emergency in Kenya, the winding up of the Cyprus troubles, the independence of Ghana and Nigeria, and Macmillan's famous "wind of change" speech before the South African parliament in 1960.But we also confront the darker side of British decolonisation – the concentration camps and torture in Kenya, the police state in Nyasaland, and the selective memory that allows Britain to present its retreat from empire as "relatively tranquil and civilised."**Topics covered:**- The aftermath of Suez and the reality of decline- Macmillan's "strategic victory" and one nation Toryism- The 1957 Defence White Paper and massive retaliation- The abolition of national service- The end of the Mau Mau emergency and the Hola Camp scandal- The Cyprus settlement and the release of Archbishop Makarios- Macmillan's "wind of change" speech- The dissolution of the Central African Federation- Britain's diminishing role in the Middle East- The intervention in Jordan, 1958- Parallels with American decline today---*If you enjoy the podcast, please consider supporting us – we are migrating from Patreon to Substack.

Send us your feedback — we're listeningIsaiah 43:2 — When You Pass Through the Waters, I Will Be With You: A Midday Prayer When Life Feels Overwhelming Themes: Presence • Strength • Perseverance Nations in this prayer: Australia • China • Hong Kong • Ghana • Nigeria • Rwanda  By midday, the day can feel very different from how it looked at five in the morning. Messages have arrived, problems have surfaced, plans have changed and the weight of ordinary life can suddenly feel much heavier. This is where we remember what we have already been learning: God has not moved. Scripture — Isaiah 43:2 (NIV) “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you.” Prayer Father, the morning began with the reminder that You go before us. Then we placed our plans into Your hands. Now, Lord, we come to You in the middle of the day, because sometimes knowing that You are with us does not mean the day suddenly becomes easy. Perhaps someone listening feels overwhelmed right now. There may be too much to do, too much to think about, or something unexpected that has left the heart unsettled. Lord, meet us here, not when everything has been resolved, but right in the middle of it. Your Word speaks of passing through deep waters and reminds us of Your presence. It does not pretend that the waters are not there. It tells us that we do not face them alone.So strengthen us today. Give endurance to those who are tired. Give clarity to those who feel confused. Give courage to those who are wondering how they will keep going. I pray especially for Australia, China, Hong Kong, Ghana, Nigeria and Rwanda. Reach people in homes, workplaces, hospitals and quiet places where burdens are being carried unseen. Jesus, You understand human weakness. You entered our world, carrie suffering and walked among people who were hurting. So I bring this overwhelming moment to You. Holy Spirit, breathe fresh strength into tired hearts. Help us take the next faithful step, rather than becoming overwhelmed by everything at once. Father, I cannot see the whole road, but I know You are with me on this part of it. That is enough for today. Amen. May God strengthen you in the middle of this day and give you grace for the next step, one moment at a time. Midday prayer when life feels overwhelming, prayer for strength, prayer during difficult circumstances, Christian prayer for perseverance, Isaiah 43 prayer, Jesus prayer for difficult days. strength, perseverance, presence, midday, Isaiah, Jesus, prayer, hope, faith, courage A midday Christian prayer for listeners facing pressure, exhaustion or circumstances that feel overwhelming.

NSA denies involvement in an alleged $623,000 World Cup visa scheme; Kofi Adams explains Black Stars' unpaid World Cup bonuses; Ghana to face Morocco in an October friendly in Tangier — and more!

Today we are exchanging thoughts with the International Veterinary Students´ Association (IVSA) about the meaning and implementation of animal welfare in veterinary education around the globe.To gain international insights, we were able to speak with five regional representatives in the following roles: Tamy Negrón (President, Peru), Prothoma Kalidaha (Chair of Standing Committee on Animal Welfare, India), Asampana Kofi Engbme Maxwell (External Relations Manager, Ghana), Felix Metzger (IVSA Trust, Germany), and Monia El Madidi (Research and Data Analyst, Morocco) (at the time of interview recording in the first half of 2026).In this first of several episodes, we introduce ourselves and learn more about the IVSA with its opportunities and ways to get involved. To lay the foundation for deeper conversations, we also discuss what animal welfare means to each of us. Listen in and get to know the IVSA – maybe you want to get active yourself, join a present chamber, or start one at your university to give yourself and your fellow students a voice for curriculum optimization, compliance with animal welfare, and the future of the veterinary profession.Meet the IVSA online: https://www.ivsa.org/ We are always happy about feedback!If you have any comments, suggestions or questions, please email: podcast.daretocare@gmail.comFOLLOW US ON SOCIALS - Instagram: @daretocare_podcast

The administration is expanding its third-country deportation campaign.Since President Donald Trump took office last year, more than 25,000 people have been sent to over 29 countries they're not from. That includes places like Liberia, Guatemala, South Sudan, Guyana, Ghana, and Honduras.Now, more than 30 countries have agreed to accept deportees from the U.S. What does that mean for the people sent to a place they've never been? And for the relationship between accepting countries and the U.S.?Find more of our programs online.

SEND US A TEXT MESSAGE!!! Let Drs. Nii & Renee know what you think about the show!A first year general surgery resident slid into my DMs after our previous episode on how GHANA MADE ME BETTER. She'd been following the show for almost 10 years, and she had one question:“How can I best start preparing for global surgery, especially in places like Ghana?”That question deserved more than a simple reply. It deserved an entire episode.So I'm sharing what I've learned from 14 years of humanitarian surgical work at KNUST University Hospital in Kumasi, Ghana, alongside International Healthcare Volunteers.You'll hear:→ Why global surgery is the truest test of your surgical foundation→ The #1 mistake residents make when they arrive (and why it destroys everything)→ How to start preparing RIGHT NOW. Not in fellowship, not as an attending, NOW→ What to look for in a global surgery program (and the red flags to avoid)→ What your first trip will actually look like. The OR, the clinical experience, and the emotional reality→ What 14 years of showing up consistently has taught me about this work For general surgery residents, all surgical specialty residents, medical students, and any physician who has ever thought about doing meaningful work beyond their hospital walls. "Global surgery is not a break from your training.

Can a 9-to-5 actually be a form of modern slavery? This week on Ghana's #27 top podcast the guys are tackling everything from the daily grind to global conspiracies, and it gets wild. First up, we break down the philosophy of work. Is your work ethic a tool created by the powerful to keep you down, or can a job actually be a form of meditation? And if you hate work but love art... wait, isn't art still work? We dive into the struggle of post-retirement life, the nightmare of creative clients who change their minds at midnight, and how the corporate world "institutionalizes" us Shawshank Redemption style.Then, things get a bit revolutionary. We pitch a brilliant idea: a "Ray Donovan" fixer for regular people to fight back. But the laughs take a serious turn as we question why the public hasn't risen up against the "Epstein class," call out systemic corruption in the uniparty, and look back at how political promises get broken.Stick around until the end for a warning about AI, a bizarre story about a haunted electronic toy, a lesson in passive resistance from Gandhi, and a final, powerful moment of reflection.It's deep, it's chaotic, and it's exactly what you need this week. Hit play! 

Greetings Glocal Citizens! This week's encore episode revisits a conversation with a fellow teammate and black woman in real estate, motivational speaker, 5-time Olympian representing the Bahamas, and #ChocolateCardinal, Jacqueline "Jackie" Edwards-Flowers. As an adjunct to our collaboration with Black Women in Real Estate, which, so far taken us from London, via Nigeria and Barbados, to The South Bronx in the United States. Keeping local in the US, we're traveling across the country from New York to California, via the Bahamas (and Jamaica) where we get into real estate from the value-added perspective.

Send us your feedback — we're listeningPsalm 30:5 — Weeping May Stay for the Night, But Rejoicing Comes in the Morning: A Morning Prayer When Yesterday Is Still on Your Mind Themes: Mercy • Fresh Start • Courage Nations in this prayer: Australia • China • Hong Kong • Ghana • Nigeria • Rwanda  Sometimes yesterday follows us into today. Before the memories, mistakes or disappointments of yesterday determine how we face this morning, we bring them to Jesus. Scripture — Psalm 30:5 (NIV) “Weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.” There are mornings when yesterday seems to have followed us into today. Perhaps something went wrong, a conversation still troubles you, or you are carrying regret over something you wish you had done differently. Before those memories decide what kind of day this will be, come quietly to Jesus. The psalm reminds us that weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning. Lord Jesus, thank You that yesterday does not have the final word. Your mercy meets us again today, and Your grace gives us permission to begin again. Today we pray for people in Australia, China, Hong Kong, Ghana, Nigeria, and Rwanda. Meet those waking with disappointment, regret or sadness. Holy Spirit, bring comfort where yesterday still hurts and courage where people are afraid to begin again. Jesus, help us learn from yesterday without living inside it. Where we need forgiveness, lead us towards Your grace. Where we need to make something right, give us humility. Where something cannot be changed, teach us to place it into Your hands. This morning is not a demand to pretend everything is perfect. It is an invitation to walk with You again. So we receive this new day. Give us courage for what lies ahead, and let Your mercy become stronger in our hearts than the weight we carried from yesterday. Amen. Blessing: May Jesus meet you with fresh mercy this morning, lift yesterday's weight from your heart and give you courage for a new day.  morning prayer for a fresh start, prayer when yesterday is troubling you, Christian prayer for mercy, Psalm 30:5 prayer, prayer for regret, prayer for courage prayer, Jesus, mercy, courage, morning, forgiveness, hope, faith, Christian, devotion  A morning prayer for anyone carrying yesterday's disappointments, mistakes or sadness into a new day.

Join our hosts for Tuesday's show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Slavery: Does the past still shape our present?' and ‘Religious Education: Why does it matter?' Slavery: Does the past still shape our present? Can reparations truly repair the damage of slavery? Join us as we explore Ghana's growing call for reparatory justice, the legacy of the transatlantic slave trade, who should take responsibility, and whether true reparation is about financial compensation, healing, or both. Religious Education: Why does it matter? Religious Studies GCSE entries are rising, with around 227,000 students now taking the subject across England and Wales, yet schools are facing a shortage of specialist teachers. Join us as we explore why religious education matters, why demand is growing, and whether enough is being done to support the subject and those teaching it. Guests: Michael Charles Banner - Dean of Trinity College, Cambridge, ethicist, and author of Britain's Slavery Debt: Reparations Now! Alex Renton - British journalist, broadcaster and author of Blood Legacy. He's a co-founder of Heirs of Slavery, a group advocating for reparations for the transatlantic slave trade.

Episode 238 with Sander de Klerk, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of The Good Roll, a sustainable paper company building an integrated bamboo value chain between Ghana and global paper markets.The Good Roll began as a European consumer brand selling sustainable toilet paper and using part of its revenue to improve access to sanitation. It has since evolved into a much broader industrial business, processing Ghanaian bamboo into pulp for the global paper industry, tissue products for its consumer brand, and, from 2027, biochar and carbon credits produced from bamboo waste.The company generated more than €5.5 million in revenue in 2025 and has secured a $50 million long term pulp offtake agreement. Its production facility in Akosombo employs more than 86 people, while over 3,000 farmers are ready to supply bamboo. By 2030, The Good Roll aims to operate seven production lines, work with 15,000 farmers and generate more than €175 million in annual group turnover.In this episode, Sander discusses the company's €5.2 million investment raise, and explains why The Good Roll is moving beyond sustainable toilet paper to challenge the structure of the global paper industry. He explores the economics of processing bamboo close to where it grows, what it takes to make Ghanaian pulp competitive in international markets, and why controlling the value chain could allow more income and industrial value to remain in Ghana. What We Discuss With SanderWhy The Good Roll is inviting members of the public to become shareholders through its €5.2 million investment raise.Why The Good Roll is betting that Ghanaian bamboo can disrupt a $350 billion global paper industry.Can bamboo pulp produced in Ghana genuinely compete with the world's established suppliers?Why does Africa continue exporting raw materials while surrendering most of their economic value?Does a $50 million offtake agreement prove demand, or simply introduce a much bigger execution risk?Can The Good Roll reach €175 million in annual turnover without sacrificing the social and environmental mission that made it distinctive?Did you miss my previous episode where I discuss Why Do So Many African Businesses Die With Their Founders?

The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts Session 9 on The Memoirs of Robert & Mabel Williams: African American Freedom, Armed Resistance, & International Solidarity. Moving forward from last week's recap of numerous attempts to kill the Williams' family, we'll pick up with Chapter 51. Recap of last week and Robert Williams' increased commitment to publicizing their Counter-Violence program: Radio Free Dixie: Robert details his effort and thought process to begin the Radio Free Dixie program. He details the logic for picking music and as well as his political commentary about the global System of White Supremacy. He even did quite a bit of name-calling White people and using the term "White Supremacy." Birmingham Church Bombing 1963: Williams displayed deep anger about the September terrorist attach that killed four little girls during a Sunday morning worship. Williams dispatched letters to Kwame Nkrumah in Ghana, Mao Zedong in China and other leaders of state. Only Zedong replied with a stinging indictment of the System of White Supremacy. Marxist Leninists in Cuba: As in the US, many so called Cuban Marxists chided Williams for addressing White Supremacy and implored him to offer an olive branch to his sick White brothers. Williams accurately blasted this as dangerous folly, noting that poor Whites are the frontline Race Soldiers who carry out missions like the Birmingham Church bombing. #TheCOWS17Years #NegroesWithGuns #RobertWilliams #MabelWilliams #Communism #Vietnam #TheMemoirsOfRobertAndMabelWilliams #Cuba #FidelCastro #CounterRacism #CounterViolence #GlobalWhiteSupremacy Call-In Number: 720.716.7300 Code: 564943#

Ep 149: All That and a Bag of Chips: 31 Days of Black Business ReflectionsNo guest. No theme song. Just me, a cup of coffee, and whatever came out of my mouth.

“I wanted to come back to the city that raised me.” Jasmine Brooks' commitment to Detroit students is rooted in a life shaped by family, faith, education, dance, and service. Raised near Aretha Franklin's childhood home, nurtured at Hartford Memorial Baptist Church, educated at Renaissance High School, the University of Michigan, and Wayne State, Jasmine traces how Detroit institutions and Black community traditions prepared her to pour into another generation. As a child, Jasmine was introduced to dance and taught by legends like Penny Godboldo (RIP) and Gina Ellis. That foundation in creativity—and in learning how to find her place and space on stage, in rhythm—helped prepare her to navigate the many paths toward success. Today, her connection with the students of Graduate313 brings that journey full circle. “It's an opportunity to learn even more about myself and what my future self is looking to get into,” she says of what young people should experience through Graduate313. Her vision reaches beyond college admission toward “their upward mobility for life.” Listen for a Detroit story about what happens when the people who were poured into decide to become somebody else's bridge.

Many of you founders working with niche ingredients out there might have struggled with this question: How do you build a new category when consumers don't yet understand the ingredient, retailers don't know where to place it, and nobody is walking into stores asking for it? In this episode of Brand Growth Heroes, I speak with Andrew Hunt, co-founder and CEO of Aduna Superfoods, about what category creation around niche ingredients really looks like for CPG founders. We talk about how he has built a business that is approaching £5M in annual revenue by bringing ingredients like baobab and moringa to the UK, to creating demand through education, sampling and relentless market development - until these ingredients are on the brink of becoming mainstream.What I found particularly interesting is how Aduna has evolved as the market around it has changed. The business started out highly ingredient-led and impact-led, but eventually hit a commercial ceiling. Around 2022, Andrew and the team shifted towards clearer consumer needs such as gut health and everyday wellness, while keeping the quality of the ingredients and their sourcing at the heart of the brand. Now, as wholefood supplements, gut health, UPF-free products and higher-quality functional ingredients all move further into the mainstream, Aduna is increasingly well positioned for what Andrew calls the next generation of superfoods.What You'll LearnHow Aduna created demand for ingredients consumers had never heard ofWhy getting a retail listing means very little if shoppers don't understand what your product is forHow intensive sampling helped take baobab from almost no rate of sale to a best-selling superfoodWhy Aduna moved from ingredient-first communication towards clearer consumer need statesWhat founders building new categories can learn about timing, market education and knowing when the consumer is finally readyKey Topics DiscussedBuilding a new category around unfamiliar ingredientsIntroducing baobab and moringa to the UK marketWhy Whole Foods initially rejected Aduna because “nobody comes in asking for baobab”Creating demand before there is established consumer awarenessThe role of sampling in category buildingGoing from around 10 units sold in three months to becoming a best-selling superfood in Whole Foods and Planet OrganicUsing early retail success to unlock Holland & BarrettWhy product education alone can become a commercial constraintAduna's strategic shift towards consumer needs such as gut health and radianceProtecting brand integrity while becoming more commercially focusedThe rise of wholefood powders and supplementsWhy ingredient quality matters as consumers become more knowledgeableAduna's “Superfood 2.0” thinking around bioactive compoundsHigh-flavanol cacao and the difference between commodity ingredients and higher-quality functional ingredientsBuilding a proprietary supply chain in Ghana and Burkina FasoWorking with more than 100 women's cooperativesAgroforestry, tree planting and community infrastructureThe relationship between Aduna's branded consumer business and its ingredient supply businessAmazon as a major growth channelAmazon UK growing around 50–60% year on yearThe scale of the Amazon US opportunityAduna's ambition to grow towards £15 million over the next four yearsBuilding long-term sustainable growth rather than chasing scale at the expense of qualityUseful linkshttps://www.instagram.com/adunasuperfoods/?hl=enLike this episode?PLEASE share the love by sharing this episode with another founder building a challenger brand, a colleague or a mate who loves brilliant non-alcoholic drinks, or anyone trying to work out how to build a sharper, more focused growth model.Don't forget to FOLLOW or SUBSCRIBE to Brand Growth Heroes on your favourite podcast app, and even LEAVE A REVIEW - both of these actions make a MASSIVE difference to our mission to help more founders just like you.Join our communityInstagram (https://www.instagram.com/brandgrowthheroes)LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/company/brand-growth-heroes/?viewAsMember=true)Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/@brandgrowthheroes)Find out more about the programmes and courses Fiona runs here (https://www.brandgrowthheroes.com/mini-mba-2026)Join the NextGen CPG WhatsApp group for founders leaning in to the value that a leadership approach to engaging with AI can unlock for businesses like yours.*** Thanks to Brand Growth Heroes' podcast sponsor — Joelson, the commercial law firm ***If you're a founder, you already know how much energy goes into building the perfect product, creating standout branding and connecting with consumers.But scaling a CPG business also brings legal complexities that can make or break your growth journey - from contracts and regulatory compliance to protecting your intellectual property.That's why we're proud to partner with Joelson, the leading commercial law firm specialising in helping founders of scaling consumer brands.Joelson works with brands like Little Moons, Trip, Eat Natural, Bear Graze and Pulsin, and advised the innocent founders on their landmark sale to Coca-Cola - and still work with them at JamJar Investments today!Joelson is offering a FREE LEGAL CONSULTATION to all BGH listeners - just request it here - we highly recommend you take them up on it!CreditsThanks to our Sound Engineer Gyp Buggane at Ballagroove.com and the entire BGH team.

Nii & Renee know what you think about the show!In just a few days, we leave for Ghana, and this year, our boys are coming with us.This is our 14th year doing humanitarian work at KNUST University Hospital in Kumasi with International Healthcare Volunteers. Before we board that plane, we're talking about what humanitarian medicine actually looks like. Not the Instagram version. The real version.You'll hear:What International Healthcare Volunteers actually does and why the focus is sustainability and education, not fly-in-fly-out surgeryThe white savior complex in humanitarian medicine and why that mindset can destroy more than it buildsWhy Nii comes back a better surgeon every year from complex tissue repairs to the CO₂ tank story and the GIST tumor patientThe OB/GYN cases Renee encounters, including patients arriving with hemoglobin levels of 4 and 5What medical students and residents can learn in Ghana that they simply can't learn in the U.S.How we make two weeks in Ghana work with two boys, an apartment in Accra, alternating weeks, and homeschooling this yearAnd the mindset behind why we keep going back: “I'm not going to save Ghana. Ghana doesn't need saving. I'm going because Ghana made me.”If you're the first doctor in your family and you've ever felt behind, confused, or alone in navigating medicine, this is your community.And if you've ever done humanitarian medical work, or wondered what it really looks like beyond the highlight reel, this episode is for you. Find us on YouTube: www.youtube.com/@docsoutsidetheboxpodcastRESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:Locumstory.com - a free resource with unbiased information about locum tenens opportunities, real physician stories, and practical guidance to help you make informed decisions about your career.

Today we're chatting with Ivana Perbi, founder of Wardrobe Affaire, the world's first discovery platform dedicated to pre-loved fashion events, which is on a mission to help secondhand event organizers seamlessly host fashion experiences and help shoppers discover them – all over the world. Ivana grew up in southern Germany, where secondhand wasn't a trend but simply how her family shopped, and where weekends at the flea market where her mother sold clothes shaped her eye for style. After a decade working inside luxury fashion houses like Louis Vuitton and Chanel, a research trip back to her birthplace of Accra, Ghana — and a visit to the sprawling Kantamanto secondhand market — changed everything for her. Ivana left the corporate world, retrained as a UX designer, and launched a fashion rental platform in Berlin.  But after three years of testing, and some incredibly successful event pop-ups, she recognized a much bigger opportunity and pivoted Wardrobe Affaire into what it is today: a platform built to solve the real logistical headaches of hosting and discovering pre-loved fashion events. We're getting into it all — the pivot from rental to events, and her favorite vintage finds, including the vintage Chanel she found for a steal at a Berlin flea market!  Let's dive right in! DISCUSSED IN THE EPISODE: [02:54] Ivana loved style and collecting fashion magazines growing up [07:04] When sustainability in fashion started to connect with her personal values  [08:20] Learning about Ghana's Kantamanto Market and the scale of secondhand clothing waste  [11:07] Ways to keep clothing in circularity — repair, swapping, and rental  [13:29] What she learned about repair and craftsmanship working at Louis Vuitton and Chanel  [15:23] The origin story of her first fashion rental platform  [16:18] Convincing lenders, consumers, and investors to embrace rental in Germany  [18:08] What she learned about the "attitude-behavior gap" in sustainable fashion [20:52] Deciding to pivot from rental into secondhand events [23:42] The gaps she was trying to fill in the pre-loved events space, including event discovery  [27:47] What's keeping would-be shoppers on the sidelines from attending events  [31:27] Why curation of vendors is everything at a vintage shopping event  [36:03] What the pivot required of her personally as a founder  [38:26] Her personal style and vintage collection  EPISODE MENTIONS:  Wardrobe Affaire @wardrobeaffaire By Rotation HURR Sami Miro Vintage Pre-Loved's original research on secondhand events LET'S CONNECT: 

Episode 236 with Linda Latsko Lockhart, Founder and CEO of Global Give Back Circle, an organisation focused on expanding education, financial inclusion and pathways to dignified work for women and girls across Africa. Since 2006, Global Give Back Circle has supported more than 6,000 girls through tertiary education, engaged more than 4,000 mentors and built programmes across Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania and Ghana.At the centre of its economic empowerment work is HER Lab, a model designed around the realities facing young women in rural communities. Rather than treating education as the end goal, HER Lab connects vocational skills, mentorship and personal development with employment, entrepreneurship, financial inclusion and access to markets. It also works with families and community leaders to address the social expectations that can prevent women from participating fully in economic life. Through its Economic Empowerment 4 HER partnership with Mastercard Foundation, Global Give Back Circle is now scaling the model across rural Kenya, with the ambition of reaching 3,000 young women directly by 2028.In this episode, Linda explains why women's economic empowerment requires much more than simply providing education or vocational training. She explores what Global Give Back Circle has learned from two decades of working with women and girls, why entrepreneurship has become such an important pathway for rural women, and how access to finance, markets and supportive communities determines whether skills actually translate into income.What We Discuss With LindaIs Africa underestimating the economic cost of keeping millions of women out of work, entrepreneurship and financial systems?Why 76 percent of the HER Lab boarding graduates surveyed became entrepreneurs, and what that reveals about the shortage of formal employment opportunities in rural Africa.Why teaching someone to start a business is not enough, and why access to real customers and commercially viable value chains matters more.What happened when attitudes towards women working in construction shifted from just 19 percent to 94 percent in the surrounding community.Could artificial intelligence widen the economic divide facing rural African women, or give them an opportunity to leapfrog it?Did you miss my previous episode where I discuss Why Isn't Africa Turning Its Science Into Billion Dollar Companies?
