How did Black Women become magical? In episode 138, Ellie and David talk to Lindsey Stewart about her book, The Conjuring of America: Mojos, Mermaids, Medicine, and 400 Years of Black Women's Magic. They talk about how the concept of ‘conjure' shifted from its origin in the West African tradition to how it manifests in African American communities today. They discuss how Yoruba religion traveled to the US with slavery, as well as exploring the impact of historical images like the Mammy and the Voodoo Queen. What are the dangers of rhetoric of Black women being magical? How has Christianity influenced the ignorance that many Americans have around conjure? Is Beyonce magical? And does her album Cowboy Carter invoke the West African concept of Sankofa? In the Substack bonus segment, Ellie and David talk about magic on a larger scale, and parse out the differences between magic, religion and science. Works Discussed: Keisha L. Bentley-Edwards and Valerie N. Adams, “I am not (your) superwoman, Black girl magic, or beautiful struggle: Rethinking the resilience of Black women and girls”  Kim R. Harris, “Beyoncé's ‘Cowboy Carter' embraces country music, Black history and religious imagery” Lindsey Stewart, The Conjuring of America: Mojos, Mermaids, Medicine, and 400 Years of Black Women's Magic Support the showPatreon | patreon.com/overthinkpodcast Website | overthinkpodcast.comInstagram & Twitter | @overthink_podEmail | dearoverthink@gmail.comYouTube | Overthink podcast

d'bi.young anitafrika knows that it takes a lot of nurturing and mentorship to become an artist of any kind. They credit their mom, the pioneering dub poet Anita Stewart, with inspiring their passion for storytelling. Now, d'bi is celebrating a major milestone as a playwright, performer and director. Their “Sankofa Trilogy” is in its 20th year. The three solo plays of the trilogy follow three generations of Jamaican women from their experiences of growing up to motherhood. Ahead of the anniversary stagings of the plays, d'bi is doing a little experiment — they're putting on the plays as multi-cast productions to test out new ways to tell these stories. d'bi sits down with guest host Garvia Bailey to talk about 20 years of “The Sankofa Trilogy,” getting their start in theatre in “Da Kink in My Hair,” and how they bring Black stories to the Canadian stage.

Co-founder of Sankofa.org, Gina has been using art as a tool for over 25 years to communicate messages of hope and civic engagement. On this podcast she is joined by two of her collaborators - Diane Luby Lane, CEO of Get Lit - Words Ignite and LA based poet Monique Mitchell and we look at the role of poetry, art in general, courage and the power of the word in times of repression and fear. Their new stage show is "If I Awaken In Los Angeles" at the Ford Theater.https://www.instagram.com/getlitpoet/https://www.instagram.com/peacegina/https://www.instagram.com/diprimaradio/

The gang kicks things off with a deep dive into Drake's “What Did I Miss” release and the surprise livestream that took over downtown Toronto (Dundas Square, now renamed “Sankofa”). They break down the song, the stream, the rollout strategy, the subject matter, and public reaction.   From there they jump to T-Pain's recent comments about policing artistry and the idea of an artist's exit plan from music. DJXP brings up two documentaries, one on the legendary Sly & The Family Stone, and the other on The Beach Boys, to explore how rare it is for artists to maintain the social relevance Drake still has.   This leads to a full-on conversation about longevity in music. The crew discusses the blog era (Wiz Khalifa, Big Sean, Meek Mill, Cole, Kendrick, Drake, etc.) and what caused some artists to lose momentum while others stayed hot.   From there a T.I. vs 50 Cent tangent sparks up, followed by a quick update on Toronto's new Rogers Stadium, where Coldplay is set to do four sold-out shows back to back.   Later DJXP brings a funny and unexpected list of “Scary Songs” found online. The crew debates which songs were actually eerie and which ones made no sense on the list (like Marvin Gaye). This leads into a Prince vs MJ moment as Purple Rain enters the discussion.   After a spontaneous Thong Song drop by OShauN, the crew dives into What These Btches Want* and the revelation that there was an original version without Sisqó. That opens the floor for a convo about songs that were already perfect before the feature or had features that maybe weren't even needed.   Then comes a relationship discussion sparked by Nigerian music mogul Don Jazzy, who admits he doesn't have the strength to be with just one woman. The team analyzes the statement, questioning whether it's honest self-awareness or a front for polygamy and whether women actually prefer that kind of transparency.   The pod wraps up with some final thoughts on the Diddy case and the conclusions from the most recent rulings.

Inspired by her transformative experiences across Africa and the Caribbean, she co-founded Afro Flow Yoga® in 2008 with her husband, Jeff W. Jones, a multi-instrumentalist, recording artist, musical director, and composer. More info: www.afroflowyoga.com In this conversation, Leslie Salmon Jones and Jane Garnett explore the awakening of feminine energy in the context of toxic masculinity, personal healing, and the importance of community. They discuss the need for a language revolution, the role of rituals in relationships, and the transformative power of Afro Flow Yoga. The conversation emphasizes the significance of embodied connection, alternative currencies, and the healing rhythms of drumming. In this conversation, Leslie Salmon Jones and Jane Garnett explore themes of birth, initiation, cultural wisdom, and the importance of embodied practices. They discuss the significance of the Black Jaguar in indigenous cultures, the rise of awareness in spiritual practices, and the role of women in healing and empowerment. The conversation emphasizes the importance of collective consciousness, the power of circles, and the celebration of life and gratitude. Leslie shares her vision for the future of her work, focusing on healing and connection through community and spirituality. takeaways We're in a time of the toxic masculine being revealed. The divine feminine is emerging with rage as a form of healing. Patriarchy is pervasive and affects our relationships and society. Awareness of our socialization is the first step to healing. The real estate of our minds is crucial for transformation. We need to reimagine success beyond traditional metrics. Community and embodied practices foster deeper connections. Rituals can strengthen relationships and personal growth. The journey of Afro Flow Yoga connects dance and spirituality. Drumming resonates with our heartbeat and offers healing. The experience of birth is a profound initiation. Cultural wisdom, like that of the Black Jaguar, empowers women. Awareness of embodied practices is on the rise. Sankofa symbolizes the importance of learning from the past. We are transitioning from a material to a spiritual focus. Women play a crucial role in spiritual awakening. The circle is a powerful structure for connection and trust. Collective consciousness fosters healing and celebration. Gratitude is essential for personal and communal well-being. The future of healing lies in connection and community. t"I'm getting these waves of feminist rage" "The divine feminine to awaken and to emerge" "The real estate of our minds" "We need a language revolution" "I need to heal myself" "Afro Flow Yoga has been our therapy" "I'm going to free fall" "The first drum is the heart" "Only imagining that's experience."

Blair Durham of Black BRAND discusses Legacy Day and the organization's mission to narrow the racial wealth gap. The organization is using a 150-year plan driven by data and partnerships with institutions like Virginia Tech to address key pillars that influence wealth. These pillars include health, education, media, technology, policy, justice, and affordable housing. Durham emphasizes the importance of community-driven efforts, historical awareness, and the need to actively shape a positive future for the Black community through intentional action and legacy building. Black BRAND's work centers around Business Research, Analytics, Networking, and Development to promote Black economic empowerment.Here are ten important points and quotes from Blair Durham's talk:Black Brand's name is an acronym that stands for business research and analytics networking and development.Black Brand has been developing a 150-year plan in partnership with Virginia Tech to build a data dashboard1. This plan aims to narrow the racial wealth gap by connecting all the pillars that inform wealth1.•A significant part of the 150-year plan focuses on people and values, including social determinants of health and food access.Less than 1% of venture capital goes to the Black community, which is related to the lack of new technologies coming from the Black community due to limited access to STEM resources1.•Policy and justice are important pillars, with issues like traffic stops and the impact of DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) programs being considered1. Durham asks whether the last 65 years of DEI programs actually translated to more wealth in the Black community, and notes that most data says no1.•According to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, housing is considered affordable if it costs less than 30% of gross income.Durham notes that the affordable housing crisis disproportionately affects the Black community."If it's not a grassroots effort, it's likely not going to happen"1. Durham emphasizes the importance of community involvement to achieve progress.The Sankofa logo is central to Black Brand's identity, symbolizing the importance of looking back to the past to inform the future1. "It is not taboo to go back and fetch what you've forgotten," Durham says, noting that this includes ancient, recent, and personal history.Durham journals to remember the past, and encourages everyone to speak legacy into young people, because it is their responsibility to teach them who they are.... Durham states that "the most important priority for the black community is the black community, not a particular political party".Interested in sponsoring the podcast?

Tangazo cohost Tim Person,  hosted two special guest for Thursday's show.  In the first half of the 12 pm hour, in preparation for the holiday's, Pat Nogar treated us to with our annual pre-holiday visit with helpful tips about preparing for the festival season with convergence of Christmas, Hanukah and Kwanza.  Pat shared how to make our homes more festival and inviting and how to enjoy and incorporate diverse cultures.  We also took a walk down memory lane by revisiting the past with family gatherings, how we engaged and celebrated and even discussed our favorite holiday movies.  In the second half of the hour, we were joined by the multi-talented Paulette Sankofa who is an mixed media artist, an Ordained Elder in the AME church and an author.  Paulette recently published a book entitled: St. Louis Black Women's Quilting and Cuisine: Stories of Love and Hope.  Her book documents the stories of St. Louis Black women who are passionate about quilting and culinary arts. This is an essential part of the local quilting and culinary arts history of the state of Missouri. 

  In the Ghanaian culture, a mythical bird called Sankofa honors the African Diaspora, symbolizing the need to look to the past and carry forward the truth and wisdom found there to benefit future generations. The image is so powerful that filmmakers, educators and entrepreneurs Shirikiana and Haile Gerima named both their groundbreaking 1993 movie and their incomparable bookstore, Sankofa. It was an honor to interview Shirikiana on Power Station, the final episode of a 4-part series produced in partnership with Rochdale Capital. Sankofa Video Books and Café is a vital cultural touchstone where children can see themselves depicted in books about joyful Black families, a rarity in literature, students from Howard University explore the works of Pan-African writers and the community gathers to hear live Jazz and meet independent filmmakers. The strength of and connection to the community is critically important to Sankofa as it navigates pushback from gentrifying neighbors, the need for more physical space and the high cost of operating in Washington, DC. Sankofa's next chapter is a transition to cooperative ownership, a journey informed by looking back to shape the future. Shirikiana Gerima tells her remarkable story here.

Welcome back to the 204th episode of The Cup which is our a weekly (give or take, TBD, these are unprecedented times) performing arts talk show presented by Cup of Hemlock Theatre. With the theatres on a come back we offer a mix of both reviews of live shows we've seen and continued reviews of prophet productions! For our 204th episode we bring you a Duet Review of Sankofa: The Soldier's Tale Retold, presented by Art of Time Ensemble, based on Igor Stravinsky's L'Histoire du Soldat, with a new libretto by Titilope Sonuga, directed by Tawiah M'Carthy. Join Mackenzie Horner and Jillian Robinson, as they unpack the brilliance of layered theatricality, the necessity to retell one's history, and (like the sankofa) the importance of learning from the past to inform the future. Sankofa: The Soldier's Tale Retold ran at the Harbourfront Centre (235 Queens Quay W, Toronto, ON) from October 24 to 27, 2024. See the company's website for more information about the show: https://harbourfrontcentre.com/event/sankofa-the-soldiers-tale-retold/ This review contains many SPOILERS for Sankofa: The Soldier's Tale Retold. It will begin with a general non-spoiler review until the 9:43 mark, followed by a more in-depth/anything goes/spoiler-rich discussion. Even though the current Toronto run has already come to an end, we hope that it may be revived elsewhere.

In this inspiring episode, I talk with South African rebel singer Thandiswa Mazwai, discussing her upbringing in Soweto, South Africa, during the Apartheid era. Her memories of the violence that took place are vivid. She recalls experiencing a great sense of freedom upon Nelson Mandela's release from prison and describes meeting South African legends Miriam Makeba and Hugh Masekela, who would become her close friends and mentors. Mazwai's musical influences include Fela Kuti, Grace Jones, and UK punk band Skunk Anansie. Her parents, who were activists, had made her read books like Frantz Fanon's Wretched of the Earth. Her latest album is Sankofa, co-produced by Meshell Ndegeocello and fellow South African musician Nduduzo Makhathini; we talk about the experience of working with them. Our conversation wraps with the recollection of her 2005 performance at the legendary Apollo Theater in Harlem.https://thandiswa.comhttps://www.patreon.com/c/ALONGWAYFROMTHEBLOCKPODCAST

Once considered polar opposites, country music and rap have had a bit of a moment together as of late with artists like Jelly Roll & Post Malone and releases like Beyonce's Cowboy Carter hitting the charts. The thing is, Brooklyn, NY born bluegrass/hip-hop group Gangstagrass have been doing it since 2007. Returning guest, sociologist Alana Anton, brings us their latest release: 'The Blackest Thing On The Menu', and makes the case that these genres have more in common than record label marketers would have us believe. Songs discussed in this episode: Long Hard Times To Come (Justified Main Theme), Freedom - Gangstagrass; Feathered Indians - Tyler Childers; The Only Way Out Is Through - Gangstagrass; Rebel Without A Pause - Public Enemy; Good At Being Bad - Gangstagrass; Hunger Strike - Temple Of The Dog; Up High Do Or Die, Gone Gone - Gangstagrass; Texas Hold 'Em - Beyonce; You Can Have The Crown (Sturgill Simpson Cover) - Post Malone; Mother, Obligatory Braggadocio, Avenue B, Palette, It's Alive, Sankofa, Mother (Instrumental Jam Mix) - Gangstagrass

Join Rev. Trudy and Rev. Brittany as they kick off a new 3-episode topic for Perspectives Pastors Podcast – The World Calls. We Travel. – exploring the way that travel takes us to new places and changes us. They start with the story of Abram and Sarai embarking on a journey of faith after being called to travel 600 miles to settle somewhere new (Genesis 12:1-6). It’s a trip that humbles, and grows, and changes you into a new person. Much like the Sankofa Pilgrimage, a travel and learning experience led by First Church San Diego to help uncover the dynamics of racism throughout US history, and today. Rev. Trudy and Rev. Brittany share the origin and mission of the Sankofa Pilgrimage and provide a look back on the 2023 journey, discussing the sites visited and how the route was chosen. If you’d like to go deeper with this topic, we invite you to ponder the following questions: Where is God calling you to go but you don’t really want to go? Where have you been that has changed you? How are you learning about racism? And be sure to catch the next two episodes to learn about the journey the pilgrims took for the 2024 Sankofa trip.

Her name is Thandiswa, but if you're from her native country of South Africa, you might know her better as King Tha. She's a singer and songwriter with a new album called Sankofa, a Ghanaian word that means "to go back and fetch what has been left behind." In this brand new conversation, she joins Ebro Darden to talk about Sankofa, and what it means to her in the context of post-apartheid South Africa.Listen to Thandiswa's Message playlist only on Apple Music

This week we are once again joined by Texas Impact Policy Advocate, Heather Malkawi, who was recently invited to attend the 6th Pan African Conference, otherwise known as Sankofa 2024. This conference is hosted about every five years by the Circle of Concerned African Women Theologians. Heather shares highlights from her trip and about how these theologians are processing, leading and acting.   Texans of faith are also leading, and it is so inspiring to see. If you want to find out how you can get involved, check out texasimpact.org, and for sure check out the Texas Faith Votes page for tools and resources.

Since 2020, The Sankofa's have been ‘Bringing The Authentic Flavors of Italy to Your Home' and they intend to keep it that way. Together they have features on the Food Network, NY Times, ABC News, Delish, PBS, and more.
