Black people have always valued knowledge—through books, through songs, through music, and even through memory. In this fireside reflection, Ama-Robin explores why reading has always been a form of resistance and an expression of joy, why storytelling matters, the importance of music, drumming, dance, and other forms of communication and repositories of knowledge.  Most importantly, she discusses how we can reclaim literacy without centering whiteness. In this powerful fireside chat, Ama-Robin reflects on the deep connection between Black identity and literacy—from surviving enslavement to resisting erasure in today's classrooms. ✨ Featuring reflections on: Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison The People Could Fly by Virginia Hamilton The Miseducation of the Negro by Carter G. Woodson “Grandma's Hands” by Bill Withers Ancient African knowledge systems, oral traditions, and storytelling The continued power of Black bookstores and community wisdom

First thing: Happy New Year to all of you and your families! This is our first episode of 2025. Based on many of our conversations, with others, Martha and I are concerned about the future of Griots in the African culture throughout the Diaspora. What I am poking at is the desire for people, in general, to search Google to measure the accuracy of realtime information shared during conversations. Google it is becoming the mantra - as Martha would say. When our elders or gamily Griots share information, they pass on what they know and how experiences impact circumstances. We are concerned that Google might significantly hurt our culture and traditions. Martha and continue to apply Old School Thoughts to situations because if we don't pay attention, significant lessons will vanish from our traditions and cultures.

Traditional Manding (Mande) griots living in France sit at the crossroads between Africa and Europe. Historically, their role has been to weave traditional, oral histories, often within music, to promote a united, peaceful society. As they have become part of the modern global community, each griot has their own way of staying true to these historical roles, while also broadening their appeal to multicultural audiences. In this program, we hear how these international troubadours spread their messages to the world by blending European music with the kora, the balafon, the guitar, and their own voices.

Bill sees the unintended consequences of relying on sensors. Chinese parts and cars infiltrating. Scout blazes trail with ICE generator option, and 80% opt for it. Toyota rocky road to success today. Could a revvy, loud, lopey V-twin serve as generator in a roadster to instill soul and emotion?

Mercedes recently stomped the latest ring record with a blistering 6:29 second run, McLaren drops the P1 successor, and did you know Ford makes a RANGER RAPTOR? Who knew? Hint, not the guy at Griots last weekend.  It's a tough time for car makers right now. Nissan, Stellantis, Tesla and more are making serious cuts to once top selling models as car sales start to fizzle out due to various reasons.

CONTENT WARNING: Racialised Trauma - In this week's Black World News, Kehinde Andrews makes plain Trump's so-called assassination attempt (leaving one person dead and two wounded) and as Malcolm said of Kennedy's assassination, "it's chickens coming home to roost." However, it's not surprising as America is founded and sustained on political violence: the first violence of the genocide of native people, the second violence of enslaving us, and the third violence of kicking the British out with the American Revolutionary War. Much of the violence of the world today can be traced back to the US and Western imperialism. This is America, this is the West. This. Is. What. The System. Is.    - In this week's official guest interview, Kehinde Andrews talks with Guilaine Kinouani a leading voice in Black psychiatry, psychology, and psychosocial studies in the UK. They talk about her work as a clinician, re-traumatizing mental health systems, being dissuaded from working as a clinician as well as dealing with her own trauma as a clinician with over 15 years of research and study including her books Living While Black and White Minds. They talk about the origin story of Race Reflections which started as a blog (now a social enterprise) about not being silenced, and how it developed. They highlight the Certificate in Working with Racial Trauma training.  - Guilaine Kinouani is a UK-based Paris-born woman of Afrikan (Congolese) descent; an award-winning critical and radical psychologist and group analyst, scholar, activist, and "[she] likes to think…a bit of a fashion connoisseur." Guilaine is also a current PhD (her second doctorate!) researcher, in psychosocial studies, and founder of the social enterprise, Race Reflections.  She's written three books: Living While Black: The Essential Guide to Overcoming Racial Trauma (2021 + Guardian Book of the Year), White Minds Everyday Performance, Violence and Resistance (2023), and a third book Creative Disruption: Psychosocial Scholarship as Praxis is expected in November 2024. - BLACK WORLD NEWS LINKS The Assassination Attempt on Donald Trump and Political Violence Waged by the U.S.https://blackagendareport.com/index.php/assassination-attempt-donald-trump-and-political-violence-waged-us The Jakarta Method https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jakarta_Method Book Review: The Jakarta Method: Washington's Anticommunist Crusade and the Mass Murder Program That Shaped Our World by Vincent Bevins https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/lsereviewofbooks/2020/07/29/book-review-the-jakarta-method-washingtons-anticommunist-crusade-and-the-mass-murder-program-that-shaped-our-world-by-vincent-bevins/ Indonesian mass killings of 1965–66 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indonesian_mass_killings_of_1965%E2%80%9366 - GUEST LINKS Certificate in Working With Racial Trauma: A Conversation With Helping Professionals (Sign Up)https://racereflections.co.uk/events/open-day-certificate-in-working-with-racial-trauma-and-race-based-injuries-using-the-foundation-of-group-analysis/ Certificate in Working With Racial Trauma: A Conversation With Helping Professionals - Prospectus https://racereflections.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/CWRT-JUNE-2024-w-dates.pdf Certificate in Working With Racial Trauma & Race Based Wounds Using the Foundation of Group Analysis – Curriculum  https://racereflections.co.uk/certificate-in-working-with-racial-trauma-race-based-wounds-using-the-foundation-of-group-analysis/ Guilaine Biographyhttps://racereflections.co.uk/about-the-author/ Living While Black The Essential Guide to Overcoming Racial Trauma https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/442992/living-while-black-by-kinouani-guilaine/9781529109436 White Minds Everyday Performance, Violence and Resistance By Guilaine Kinouanihttps://policy.bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/white-minds Epistemic homelessness | Guilaine Kinouani | TEDxUCLWomen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MoKBLPbkB5I&embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fracereflections.co.uk%2F - THE HARAMBEE ORGANISATION OF BLACK UNITY NEEDS YOU Harambee Organisation of Black Unity (Marcus Garvey Centre + Nicole Andrews Community Library, Birmingham, UK)https://www.blackunity.org.uk/ CAP25 - Convention of Afrikan People - Gambia - May 17-19, 2025 (Everyone's Welcome) On Malcolm X's 100th birthday, the Harambee Organisation of Black Unity is bringing together those in Afrika and the Diaspora who want to fulfill Malcolm's legacy and build a global organization for Black people.

Wir sprechen zu "Dokumentierter Aktivismus & aktivistisches Filmen." Zugrunde gelegt sind die Filme ›Xaraasi Xanne – Crossing Voices‹, ›Operation Namibia‹ und ›Fasia – von trutzigen Frauen und einer Troubadora‹. Die Filme erzählen von emanzipatorischen Kämpfen von den 60ern bis in die 2000er zwischen Selbstorganisation, Supporter*innentum und Aktivismus. Bei aller Unterschiedlichkeit der politischen Milieus, Zeitlichkeiten und Erzählweisen spricht aus den Filmen der Geist des Internationalismus des 20. Jahrhunderts. Die Behauptung: Alle Menschen können gleichermaßen am Kampf gegen Kapitalismus und Ausbeutung partizipieren. Respondenzen von Onome Ekeh und Abdou-Rahime Diallo werden im Rahmen der Diskussionsveranstaltung (in englischer Sprache) gehört werden. Am Sonnabend, 27.4. um 11 Uhr im Festivalzentrum fux eG. Das Festivalzentrum befindet sich in der fux eG in Altona, Bodenstedtstrasse 16. Fortsetzung von https://www.freie-radios.net/128026. Operation Namibia Martin Paret, DE 2023, 93 min, engl. OmdtU Eine Gruppe weißer linker Aktivist*innen kauft 1976 in England ein Segelboot für eine mehrmonatige Überfahrt nach Namibia. Die Mission der jungen Crew: nichts weniger als eine gewaltfreie Revolution im Apartheidsystem des von Südafrika besetzten Landes anzustoßen. Mit an Bord sind 6.000 verbotene Bücher, viel Idealismus und Zeit. Anhand des Briefverkehrs der Crew mit den Organisationsbüros in Philadelphia und London erzählt der Film geschickt und humorvoll vom Verlauf und Scheitern des Versuchs von philanthropischem Aktivismus, Selbstorganisation und all ihren zwischenmenschlichen Grenzen. ›Operation Namibia‹ ist eine vielstimmige Odyssee zwischen Briefen, Fotos und Super8-Film, aus der nicht zuletzt der naive Glaube an internationale Solidarität der 70er-Jahre spricht. Fasia – von trutzigen Frauen und einer Troubadora Re Karen, BRD 1987, 84 min, dt. OF Erstaufführung der digitalisierten 4K-Version Fasia Jansen wird 1929 als uneheliche Tochter von Elli Jansen aus Hamburg-Rothenburgsort und dem liberianischen Generalkonsul Momulu Massaquoi geboren und wächst in der Familie ihrer Mutter auf. Während der NS-Zeit hat sie als Afrodeutsche keinen Zugang zu den Luftschutzbunkern und ist medizinischen Versuchen der Nazis ausgesetzt, die ihre Gesundheit nachhaltig beeinträchtigen. Später wird das Ruhrgebiet zu ihrer Wahlheimat, und sie engagiert sich in der Anti-Kriegsbewegung. Ihre Bluesstimme und ihre Bühnenpräsenz machen sie in den 1980er-Jahren zu einer Ikone der europäischen feministischen Friedensbewegung. Der Film ist eine Hommage an Fasia Jansen und zeigt beeindruckende Interviewszenen mit ihrer Mutter und Hamburger Jugendfreundinnen. Xaraasi Xanne – Crossing Voices Raphaël Grisey, Bouba Touré, FR/DE/ML 2022, 123 min, soninké/frz./bambara/pulaar OmeU Der Film handelt von Kämpfen um Arbeit und Anerkennung in Frankreich, der Sans-Papiers-Bewegung, vom Senegal-Fluss in Mali und was von Termiten zu lernen ist. Unterschiedliche Kulturen der Aufzeichnung und Überlieferung treffen aufeinander. Dokumente migrantischen Widerstands: Videos, Fotos, Plakate und Flugblätter, die Griots und das Radio, koloniales Bildmaterial und Google Earth. Als Reisender zwischen Mali und Frankreich bringt Touré in Frankreich erworbenes landwirtschaftliches Wissen zurück nach Mali und begründet 1977 mit anderen Rückkehrer*innen die bis heute bestehende Kooperative Somankidi Coura. Touré und Grisey legen gemeinsam Pfade durch Tourés reichhaltiges Archiv und versehen sie mit einer eigenen Zeitlichkeit: die Permakultur des Kampfes gegen koloniale Dominanz.

With all the talk about Black musicians and where they belong, and in which genre of music, we're taking you back to one of the earliest theGrio Daily episodes. Wypipologist Michael Harriot discusses the roots of Country music, and honors Sister Rosetta Tharpe for creating Rock and Roll. We're talking about "Griots," a class of people trained to keep our history and tell our stories. Michael takes us on a journey explaining where Griots first started and how they've trickled down through history. It's deeper than you think, Kings and Queens.

Central Pennsylvania is rich in cultural heritage, and one individual stands as a beacon preserving the essence of African-American oral tradition in our community. Lenwood Sloan, our esteemed local Griot, embodies the multifaceted role of the traditional African historian, storyteller, and musician. Sloan, like the Griots of old, serves as a custodian of our collective memory, passing down stories, songs, and wisdom through generations. His vibrant presence in our community not only entertains but educates, reminding us of our shared humanity and the importance of cultural heritage. As a Griot, Sloan holds a special position of influence, akin to an advisor to royalty. His insights and narratives offer guidance and perspective, enriching our understanding of history and society. Moreover, Sloan's involvement in erecting the Juneteenth monument in front of our state capitol underscores his commitment to commemorating pivotal moments in African American history and promoting social justice. In an era dominated by digital media, Sloan champions the power of oral tradition, emphasizing its role in fostering connection and empathy. Through storytelling and music, he bridges gaps between communities, fostering dialogue and understanding.

Freestyle Fellowship is not a rap group. They are a cohort of rap gods who descended from the mountains so that we might know the electric potential of rhyme. Inner City Griots, FF's second album, is a complex and challenging record that did not easily fit in any of the sub-genre boxes of its day. With 30 years of hindsight the bros take a look back Griots and ask the questions of all questions: Is this a timeless album or an album of its time?

On today's episode of I AM HOME, in celebration of Women's Month our hosts, Tyler and Hilary, are sitting down with Patty Talbert. Patty is a painter and a muralist who has worked with MacArthur Award Winner Debra Harris and the late great Dawn Scott. Her work is inspired by techniques used in batiking (buh-tee-king), a method, originally used in Java, of producing colored designs on textiles by dyeing them, having first applied wax to the parts to be left blank. Her work has been shown in more than three dozen exhibits. Her works spans from bright colors and beautiful patterns to complex portraits and anonymous projects. Today, she is chatting about finding and creating a home in art, learning how to be okay with imperfection, and turning the unique into the universal.

Imagine a vast, colorful tapestry, delicately woven with the intricate threads of human history. Each strand represents the stories of civilizations, the rise and fall of empires, and the lives of individuals. But as your eyes scan the rich fabric of humanity's past, you realize there is a gaping void, an absence of stories that are vital to our collective understanding. This absence, this profound missing part of our human history, is African history. African history is a treasure trove of knowledge, a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, and an ode to the profound diversity of cultures, languages, and traditions. Yet, for far too long, this vital piece of the puzzle has been shrouded in mystery, obscured by the mists of ignorance and the shadows of prejudice. The neglect of African history is not only an injustice to the continent itself but also a disservice to the entire world. For it is within the cradle of Africa that the story of humanity began. The continent's vast landscapes, ranging from the sweeping savannas to the dense rainforests, have nurtured the origins of our species. It was here that Homo sapiens first set foot on Earth, marking the beginning of an incredible journey that would span millennia and continents. The legacy of African history is written in the sands of Egypt, where the ancient pyramids stand tall as silent witnesses to the ingenuity and ambition of a great civilization. It is engraved in the stones of Great Zimbabwe, a testament to a powerful kingdom that once thrived in the heart of Southern Africa. It echoes in the oral traditions of the Griots, the esteemed storytellers of West Africa, who have preserved the continent's history through generations of song and verse. The story does not end with the marvels of ancient civilizations. Africa's history is a living, breathing entity that continues to evolve and shape our world today. The continent has been the wellspring of countless innovations and ideas that have revolutionized our understanding of art, science, and philosophy. From the mathematical genius of the ancient Egyptians to the striking artistry of the Nok culture in Nigeria, Africa's contributions to human knowledge are as diverse as they are groundbreaking. The tapestry of human history cannot be complete without the vibrant and complex threads of African history. To ignore this crucial component is to disregard our shared human experience and to limit our understanding of the past, present, and future. We must seek to unravel the enigma of Africa's past, to explore its untold stories and hidden truths, for it is only then that we can truly appreciate the richness of our global heritage. Join me and Queen Diambi where we discuss the importance of this profound wisdom and the responsibility we hold by educating ourselves and the next generation about the importance of where we all come from.  Queen Diambi Kabatusuila was crowned as the ruler of the Bena Tshiyamba People of Bakwa Indu of Central Kasaï Region part of the ancient Luba Empire in the Democratic Republic of Congo on August 31st, 2016. She has been enthroned by all the Bakwa Luntu Chiefs on July 15 2017 and now holds the Title of Diambi Mukalenga Mukaji Wa Nkashama Wa Bakwa Luntu (Queen of the Order of the Leopard of the Bakwa Luntu People).  You won't want to miss this episode.

David and Isabelle continue their conversation with poet, speaker, and activist for people with disabilities, LeDerick Horne—and get to hear him recite some of his incredible spoken word poems. They talk about how songs taught them to spell, the power of oral traditions, and an incredible school in Kenya that expanding education and access for those with disabilities. Seriously, his poetry will give you life. (Part IV of IV)------LeDerick continues sharing some of his poetry, describing his father's record collection and his mother's love of music—he recites his poem, “Alice Street Soundtrack,” Alice Street being the street where he grew up. The website understood.org (see below) shot an interview with them and how in one of his last lines, he spells out the word “FRESH,” which is one of the first words he learned how to spell, and it's also how David learned how to spell it first time. LeDerick and David share how they learned to spell Common from his songs, too. David feels so seen, having symbol recognition disorder, he has a 4th or 5th grade spelling level and learning how to spell words was always hard, the power of songs to be able to help us learn to spell (like Gwen Stefani with “Bananas” and Fergie with “Glamorous”). LeDerick describes how the written word (thanks, Gutenberg!) Has become such a big force in the world, which he respects, but he has a deep love of the spoken word and the necessity of the spoken word, with rhyme, with rhythm. He describes the Griots (for more info, see below) being the first MC's in Africa. LeDerick shares one more poem he wrote in 2020, celebrating the 30th anniversary of the ADA and also the national uprisings related to social justice and policing—and he wanted to write something about the beauty of those with disabilities. He recites “Until Every Barrier Falls.” David hearing LeDerick talking about the things he does in his poetry changed his understanding of LeDerick. Isabelle sees all the images as LeDerick is speaking, as does David. LeDerick describes the African word, “nomo,” which refers to the magic of the spoken word. We need to speak it into being, and like his Aunt Kay said, as long as we say someone's name, a person who has passed, they live. He comes from strong oral traditions, his dad was a cross-country coach, and his grandfather was President of his chapter of the NAACP, and LeDerick aspires to continue those traditions, and continue their work. If he's doing his job well, you can see it, poetry doesn't say, it shows. Isabelle and David are so honored that LeDerick has been Something Shiny's first guest (upon David's insistence, and LeDerick's generous sharing of time and energy), and we are here to promote whatever LeDerick wants to promote. He mentions the Rare Gem Talent School in Kenya that supports students with disabilities, and right now they're renting an old hotel and providing education for about 120, and were able to raise funds to get through the pandemic. Now they're trying to raise money for the land they're on and to eventually create a complex that will support 500 students with dyslexia, ADHD, etc. and have a huge waitlist. Nancy was just at the International Dyslexia Conference—you can't do it on your own (for more information and how to support this amazing school, see below!)Songs we mention that help us spell words“Fresh” -  Fresh 3 M.C.'s “Fresh” “Common” - De La Soul's “The Bizness” Bananas - “Hollaback Girl” by Gwen Stefani Glamorous - “Glamorous” by Fergi More info on the amazing school in Kenya:Rare Gem Talent SchoolVideo from understood.org featuring LeDerickVideo for “Until Every Barrier Falls” (WATCH THIS RIGHT NOW) More on LeDerick Horne(here's a brief bio)(here's his amazing link tree)LeDerick and Dr. Margo Izzo's book, Empowering Students with Hidden Disabilities: A Path to Pride and Success Black and Dyslexic Podcast (hosted by Winifred Winston and LeDerick Horne)Celebrating Black History and People with Disabilities - Youtube series A glimpse of LeDerick's live events - from the Nevada Student Leadership Transition Summit (NSLTS)The vision boards LeDerick talks about appear in this video at 18:45 - December 14, 2021, Humboldt County School District School Board Meeting - The Lowry High School NSLTS Team presents on their efforts, including self-directed IEPsNew Jersey Coalition for Inclusive EducationAll in for Inclusive Education  DAVID'S DEFINITIONSDisproportionality: the racial or ethnic differences that exist in how students with learning differences are identified, placed, and disciplined—for example, how black and brown students with ADHD might be labeled as having Oppositional Defiant Disorder or “behavioral issues” while white students are identified as having ADHD and thus treated very differently.Griot: a West African ethnic group dating back to the 14th century that act as storytellers, mediators, royal advisors, and bards, the keepers of oral histories and stories for families and tribes. For more, check out this wikipedia entry. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GriotLearning Difference (LD): Because learning disability is a crummy, inaccurate term. For example, David does not have a learning disability, he has a sitting still disability.Inclusion/Inclusive Education: This refers to the idea that all students should have an equal opportunity to learn, and relates to parts of the law and education system that attempt to achieve this by acknowledging it is more effective and socially beneficial for all students (as research and endless evidence shows) to be in classrooms and experiences together, rather than segregated into different tracks or programs.  For a much more thorough description of all of the nuances around this, check out:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inclusion_(education)Individualized Education Plan (IEP): is for someone with learning or emotional needs in a classroom. An IEP is a legal contract with a school, that specifies the accommodations and modifications available for a student. IEPs are tailored for each individual student who qualifies. While it is similar to a 504 plan, or another type of plan that has recommendations that schools can follow, an IEP is more formal and structured, and increases the amount of supports a school can provide. IEPs are provided in public schools in the United States. To get an IEP, a child has to demonstrate the need for an IEP over a 504 plan, and be assessed by the school. For a big guide to IEPs, check this out. Resiliency: you're not going to shatter, whatever happens, it's not going to destroy you. Transmuting internalization - the Quantum Leap of psychology: going back and righting a wrong that happened to you, for somebody else. This is a term David borrows from Kohut's Self-Psychology, and the idea that you can develop the thin inside you that you were missing when you were growing up.Trauma - An event, injury, or situation that overwhelms your capacity to cope and leaves you in a state of feeling even momentarily collapsed—-you can't fight, or flee, or freeze and wait for more data anymore, you actually feel like you are about to die. Folks with ADHD can be confused for each other, and are often interrelated—more on this topic to come in future episodes!Trauma Mastery - Healing from your own injury by re-visiting or recreating situations with the hope that things will play out differently this time—eg. The person who becomes a therapist and helps survivors of trauma because they needed someone to listen and be there for them in their own time of pain.Trauma Reenactment - finding yourself drawn to and repeating cycles around the initial injury that occurred (e.g. you find yourself in relationships that wound you in the same way your initial trauma happened)—this can be unconscious, and dangerous when it happens without awareness and help, because you keep getting re-exposed to traumatic things again and again.-----Cover Art by: Sol VázquezTechnical Support by: Bobby Richards—————

Sie sind und waren die Historiker der oralen Kultur in Westafrika, aber ihre Rolle geht weit darüber hinaus: Griots und Griottes sind Schlichter und Vermittler bei sozialen Konflikten und bemühen sich um gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhalt. Angesichts von politischen Konflikten rufen viele von ihnen zu Frieden auf.

Seckou Keita, Julie Fowlis, Anandi Bhattacharya and Richard Bona discuss why words are easy, story-telling being a family tradition, feeling free with the melody, and finding the confidence to experiment. Seckou Keita was born in Ziguinchor in Senegal and is descended from the Griots – a family of musicians and storytellers whose tradition is passed down from one generation to the next. Cameroonian Richard Bona is one of the world's most acclaimed bass players, and has played with the likes of Oumou Sangaré, Buena Vista Social Club and Sting. Julie Fowlis is a world-renowned folk singer from Scotland. She has been deeply influenced by her early upbringing in the Outer Hebrides, and sings in the Gaelic language, as well as enjoying exploring many other traditions. Anandi Bhattacharya is originally from Kolkat, India, and started singing at the age of three. Despite being rooted in the Indian classical tradition from her musical family, she embraces both traditional and contemporary vocal styles.

Traditional Manding (Mande) griots living in France sit at the crossroads between Africa and Europe. Historically, their role has been to weave traditional, oral histories, often within music, to promote a united, peaceful society. As they have become part of the modern global community, each griot has their own way of staying true to these historical roles, while also broadening their appeal to multicultural audiences. In this program, we hear how these international troubadours spread their messages to the world by blending European music with the kora, the balafon, the guitar, and their own voices.

The West African word ‘griot' is defined by members of traveling musicians, poets, and storytellers who maintain a tradition of oral history. This month's podcast celebrates the griots that exist in the courtroom, which are the public defenders. Mastering the unique skill of storytelling is an essential art that allows public defenders to represent and honor their clients by telling their stories. On National Tell a Story Day (April 27th), co-hosts Jonathan Rapping and Ilham Askia explore the importance of storytelling in the courtroom. Storytelling is a critical component within our Gideon's Promise training. It allows our public defenders to humanize their client and their story, to get them the best outcome possible.  On this episode, our co-hosts speak with two premiere Gideon's Promise faculty members who know the true meaning of what it means to embody their client's story. Tune in as Director of Training for the Maryland Office of the Public Defender, Patrice Fulcher, and Training Director of the National Association for Public Defense, Jeff Sherr, speak about the benefits of storytelling, the science behind an impactful story, and what it means to be a great storyteller.
