Have you ever considered that the most profound creative education might not happen in a classroom? What if it unfolds in the buzz of a print shop or behind the lens at a world-changing cultural event? In this episode, I sit down with legendary photographer Roy Lewis, whose journey is a powerful testament to learning by doing. Roy shares how his early days in a Mississippi print shop ignited his creative spark, leading to an unconventional path where Ebony and Jet magazines became his university. He offers a firsthand account of documenting FESTAC '77, the monumental gathering of Black artists and intellectuals in Lagos, Nigeria, and explains how these experiences shaped his iconic eye. This conversation is an intimate look into a life spent capturing our stories, reminding us that the richest lessons often come from the journey itself, not a predetermined map.

Yesterday, we hosted the final installment of our teach-in series "Beyond the Bill." After the June 25 uprisings last year, many Kenyans were radicalized, they began seeing the state for what it is, they started seeing the contradictions. We wanted to capture that momentum and, through political education, help people make sense of the shape of power that guides what has been happening in the country—from "how countries should think about debt" to the history of Mwakenya, to Pan-Africanism in the DRC, and much more. Every month for the last year, we invited people to help us understand these connected struggles, and we're grateful to everyone who took part and, of course, everyone who listened and shared!In two of our sessions, we spoke to Sudanese comrades Rabab Elnaiem, Husam Mahjoub, and Gussai Sheikheldin. The edited transcripts of these conversations, we put together and published in a booklet called "Revolution Neither Starts Nor Ends." Our ultimate goal is to distribute these as free pamphlets for reading in social justice centres and other political organizing spaces throughout Nairobi (and maybe throughout the country)! However, in order to fund a big print run, we are selling bound copies of this book at 800 KES. Please buy some copies and help us raise money to print hundreds more to give away! You can find them at Cheche Bookshop. Some of you who have already sent money can pick up your copies there anytime.Police violence is one of the oldest stories of Nairobi. Although many are shocked by the open violence unleashed by the Ruto and Sakaja administrations on the streets of Nairobi — goons given permission to wreak havoc and uniformed officers executing people in broad daylight — brutality is always how informal settlements have been governed. For this reason, people's movements in the ghetto have long been the front-line fighters of the war against police violence, documenting and following up on cases long after media fanfare fades. What are the lessons that can be drawn from their work? How can others stand in solidarity with these movements? How is the fight against police violence actually a fight for a bigger kind of freedom?
On this episode, Amber and Erika are discussing Black politics and how the fight for liberation of descendants of enslaved people here in the United States is connected to the fight of other African people in the diaspora. We are joined by journalist and teacher, Salifu Mack, and Broke-ish all-star, Dr. Kehinde Andrews, to examine black liberation politics in America and the degree to which those movements see themselves connected to broader Pan-Africanism. Finally, we look at what we can learn about the fight for freedom from Minister Malcolm X's teachings and political philosophy. Tune in to get the scoop!

This week on The Long Form, I sit down with Fellaris Wambui, the popular Capital FM radio host, to unpack the shifting sands in Kenya.We discuss Kenya's economic paradox: rising metrics but deep public pessimism, and what the country might look like in the next 10 years.We also explore whether radio can survive in the age of podcasts and TikTok, the tension between going viral and telling stories that matter, and how Kenyan media can amplify women's voices while navigating financial pressures.

Step back in time with me to 1977, to a cultural event so monumental it was dubbed the "Black World's Fair." In this episode, we journey to Lagos, Nigeria, for FESTAC '77, the Second World Black and African Festival of Arts and Culture. What made this month-long celebration a landmark of Black pride and unity, and why does its legacy still echo nearly fifty years later? I'll share insights from my conversation with Roy Lewis, the official photographer for the North American zone, who was there to capture it all. Join me as we explore the story of this incredible gathering of artists, thinkers, and performers from across the African diaspora and uncover a piece of our history that continues to inspire.

Greetings Glocal Citizens! We're picking up more momentum toward African progress sharing the stories of dynamic diasporans making impact in the reparatory justice space. On the eve of Africa Day, I attended the premier screening of Omitted, a short film exploring reparatory justice and the legacies of colonialism by Lavinya Stennett, founder of The Black Curriculum. Raised in the UK with Jamaican roots, she founded The Black Curriculum in 2019 at age 22 shortly after finishing her studies at London's School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) which included a study abroad program in New Zealand. Her learning and experience with indigenous communities in New Zealand joined with her activism as a student at SOAS are the framework for the craft of truthtelling that is at the core of The Black Curriculum. Believing in the power of education, social impact and youth social entrepreneurship, her work has been recognised globally from Vogue and GQ to the historic Freedom of the City of London Award in 2024. She also has written on social and cultural themes throughout the African diaspora for outlets including the Guardian, Black Ballad, Quartz Africa. Expanding her entrpreneurship journey, in 2024 Lavinya co-founded the Racial Impact Collective, an initiative supporting social entrepreneurs and seeking equity in the grant making world. The future is brighter with knowing that there is a generation fo social innovators with creative talents like Lavinya committed to justice for marginalized peoples.

2025 marks 100 years since the birth of Malcolm X! He was a revolutionary leader whose impact went far beyond the US civil rights movement. In this episode, we explore Malcolm X's powerful legacy, from his early life shaped by racism and injustice, to his radical message of Black pride, self-determination, and Pan-Africanism.We focus on his visits to the UK, including his powerful Oxford Union speech and his stand against racism in Smethwick. We reflect on why his message still resonates so deeply with Black British communities today, from education and empowerment to global solidarity and resistance.
Send us a textIn the Black radical tradition, critiques of Nationalism as inherently violent have clashed with recognition of the importance of national liberation movements and the desire for self-determination of oppressed people. Ta-Nehisi Coats grapples with this in his book The Message, grappling with being raised in a Pan-Africanist household and have an emotional return to Africa with the reality that nationalist abstractions have been a tool for violent conquest of land by the Zionist political regime in Israel. In this episode Leaders of a Beautiful Struggle, Director of Public Policy Dayvon Love and Director of Research Lawrence Grandpre look at the theme's of nationalism and Zionism in The Message, arguing that in addition to Pan African emotional attachments to Africa, there are material cultural and political systems that studying adds to the concrete liberation work for Black people. Using examples from material and public health in ancient African civilizations, they show that study of the African past reveals practices that address the problems of Black communities in the here and now. Pan Africanism gives lessons we can use to Far from Black Nationalism replicating the flaws of Zionism, they look at the theory and practice of Pan-Africanism to reveal its consistent anti-Zionist work, rejecting academic and liberal caricatures of Pan-Africanism and Black Nationalism as an immature and inherently violent ideology.

ORIGINALLY RELEASED Jul 24, 2023 Dr. Gerald Horne, renowned historian, prolific author, and leading scholar of African American history, joins host Breht O'Shea and guest co-host PM Irvin for the inaugural episode of a compelling new series dedicated to exploring the profound life and influential work of W.E.B. Du Bois. A towering figure in American intellectual history, Du Bois was an innovative sociologist, pioneering Marxist socialist thinker, distinguished historian, and a passionate advocate of Pan-Africanist civil rights and liberation. In this richly detailed discussion, Dr. Horne provides his deep historical expertise and sharp analytical insight to illuminate Du Bois's groundbreaking masterpiece, Black Reconstruction in America. This seminal text revolutionized the historiography of the Reconstruction era by highlighting the central role that African Americans played in striving for democracy and liberation following the Civil War, while powerfully dismantling the myths perpetuated by white supremacist narratives of American history. Listeners will gain a profound appreciation for Du Bois's rigorous methodology, his penetrating critique of capitalist exploitation and racial oppression, and his visionary perspective on racial solidarity and international struggle. This episode not only marks the beginning of a comprehensive exploration of Du Bois's prolific intellectual contributions but also serves as a crucial foundation for understanding the historical dynamics that continue to shape racial politics and liberation movements today.

Send us a textWhat if the dreams of Africa's greatest liberators were not just echoes of the past, but a living blueprint for the future? In this electrifying episode of the Self Reflection Podcast, host Lira Ndifon channels the urgent voice of a new generation, igniting a firestorm of hope and a powerful call to action for the youth of Africa, with a laser focus on the pivotal moment for Cameroon. Prepare to be moved, inspired, and galvanized by a message that transcends borders and speaks to the very soul of a continent yearning for true liberation.Lira doesn't just share a message; she amplifies a potent awakening. Through the impassioned words of a young African, she unpacks the burning desire for unity and self-determination that is surging through the continent's veins. This isn't a nostalgic look back, but a vibrant connection to the unfinished work of pan-African giants like Kwame Nkrumah, the revolutionary spirit of Thomas Sankara, the unwavering conviction of Patrice Lumumba, and the enduring legacy of Nelson Mandela. Their sacrifices, Lira powerfully argues, were seeds planted for this very moment – a moment where the youth are rising to claim their inheritance.With palpable excitement, Lira dissects the profound mindset shift that is reshaping the African landscape. She celebrates the growing consciousness and unwavering determination of young Africans to not just envision, but actively build a better future, free from the shackles of external influence and internal stagnation. This episode is a clarion call, urging the youth to tap into their inherent power, reclaim their resources, and forge a united front towards a prosperous and self-reliant Africa – a continent where pride and progress go hand in hand. The conversation fearlessly confronts the lingering vestiges of neocolonialism and underscores the critical importance of rewriting African narratives from an African perspective.Turning her attention directly to the critical juncture facing Cameroon, Lira speaks with urgency about the upcoming 2025 elections. She underscores the undeniable link between genuine change, tangible development, and a fundamental shift in leadership. This isn't just about casting a vote; it's about seizing an opportunity to redefine the nation's trajectory. Lira paints a compelling vision of a revitalized Cameroon – a nation where education flourishes, clean water flows freely, accessible healthcare is a right, not a privilege, and the nation's immense wealth serves its people. Through a personal anecdote, she poignantly captures the growing awareness and fervent desire for transformation among young Cameroonians, emphasizing that this is their Kairos moment.Beyond the immediate political horizon, Lira delivers a powerful and deeply personal message of self-belief and resilience to every young African listener. She champions the courage to trust one's journey, to embrace setbacks as invaluable lessons, and to relentlessly pursue personal aspirations. In a world saturated with external opinions and potential discouragement, Lira passionately emphasizes the unwavering importanSupport the showCall to Action: Engage with the Self-Reflection Podcast community!

Send us a text Brace for a raw, unfiltered episode of the Self-Reflection Podcast. Lira Ndifon ignites a firestorm, dissecting the global backlash against Captain Ibrahim Traoré and the relentless battle for Africa's liberation. This isn't just news; it's a battle cry for unity, a demand for sovereignty, and a reckoning with the forces that seek to control the continent's destiny.Lira's opening is a direct challenge, a call to action for every African, every listener, to wake up and engage. She cuts through the noise, demanding answers and sparking a conversation that echoes the urgency of the moment.At the heart of this episode is the explosive controversy surrounding Captain Ibrahim Traoré's leadership and the accusations hurled by a US General. Lira dissects the narrative, exposing the double standards and the historical patterns of Western interference that have plagued Africa for centuries. This isn't just about one leader; it's about the soul of a continent fighting for its right to self-determination.Lira plays a damning clip of a US Congressional hearing, laying bare the power dynamics at play. She doesn't shy away from naming names, from challenging the hypocrisy, and from exposing the tactics used to maintain control. This isn't a history lesson; it's a live autopsy of neocolonialism.But this isn't just about external forces. Lira turns the lens inward, challenging Africans to confront their own roles in perpetuating the status quo. She plays a powerful speech by Captain Traoré, a rallying cry against fear and a testament to the power of unity.Lira connects Traoré's courage to the hopes and dreams of a generation yearning for authentic leadership. She doesn't mince words, she doesn't sugarcoat the stakes. This is a life-or-death struggle for the future of Africa.In a direct address to her Cameroonian brothers and sisters, Lira issues a stark ultimatum: demand change, seize your destiny, or be condemned to repeat the past. She uses Traoré's example as a blueprint for a new era of African leadership, a beacon of hope in a sea of despair.The episode culminates in a powerful call to action for the youth of Africa. Lira challenges them to rise up, to reclaim their narrative, and to build a legacy of innovation and liberation. She ends with a plea to armed groups, a desperate cry for peace, a stark reminder of the human cost of endless conflict. This isn't just a podcast; it's a movement.

Nicholas Richard-Thompson and Tunde Osazua from the Black Alliance for Peace join Breht to examine the life and legacy of Kwame Nkrumah—anti-colonial revolutionary, Pan-African visionary, and the first president of an independent Ghana. From leading the charge against British colonial rule to his bold attempts to unify the African continent under a socialist banner, Nkrumah's story is one of profound courage, political brilliance, and unfinished dreams. We explore his writings, his revolutionary vision for a liberated and united Africa, and the forces—both foreign and domestic—that sought to dismantle his project. Nkrumah's legacy still burns in the hearts of those fighting imperialism today, and this episode brings his voice back to the forefront of revolutionary memory.

Togo was part of Ghana until the colonization and occupation by Germany, France and the British which divided a people and a place for their (Europeans') benefits and interests. This episode which is in preparation or the Lecture on Caribbean Thought Semester 2, 2024 at the Jamaica Theological Seminary, explores the West African Country, Togo which provides an interesting case as to how post-independent countries were forced into accepting a ceremonial freedom and independence. The independence negotiated could and affects the future of these small newly independent states and peoples. From Jamaica to Hit, Africa and the peoples within, black, brown or formerly colonized peoples. The Togo situation resembles all states that were fighting for independence but was still under the control of their former masters.

The Matts speak with Sam Wetherell, author of the brilliant Liverpool And The Unmaking Of Britain. It's not only a fascinating dive into the history of Liverpool, a city whose rise and fall impacted the whole world, but it's also a prism through which we can try to understand our own complex times. How did one man from North Carolina doom the entire Liverpool dock industry? How did a black pastor try to ignite the cause of Pan-Africanism from two knocked-together terrace houses? How did the Beatles go from being practically ignored by the city to being the centre of its renaissance? And what kind of politics do we need in an age of increasing obsolescence? All these questions are answered, and many more, in one of the most absorbing interviews the Matts have done.
