Podcasts about Sankofa

Notes Sample: “When the Machines Rock” by Tubeway Army Written and produced by Kinte Synopsis “Reboot the Earth (Eden Protocol)” imagines a full reset for humanity before the planet reaches the point of no return. Sampling “When the Machines Rock,” Kinte turns the track into a futuristic repair manual, calling for people to delete greed, restore compassion, rebuild communities, protect the environment, and bring soul back into the system. In the context of The Future Is Ours, the Eden Protocol is the album's idea of a planetary reset plan — a moral, spiritual, and futuristic repair code for humanity. It means: reboot the Earth before it is too late. On the album, the world has been damaged by AI misuse, overcrowding, pollution, plastic waste, climate collapse, greed, and disconnection. By the time the listener reaches “Reboot the Earth (Eden Protocol)”, the album is no longer just warning people about the future — it is offering a solution. The Eden Protocol is like a set of instructions for rebuilding the world: Delete greed. Restore compassion. Protect the planet. Feed people. House people. Clean the water. Teach the truth. Let the Earth breathe again. The word Eden connects to the idea of a lost paradise — a clean, balanced world before mankind corrupted it. The word Protocol makes it sound futuristic, like a system command or computer program. So together, Eden Protocol means a future-tech plan to return the world to balance, but with more wisdom than before. For the story of the album, Eden Protocol is the chapter where Kinte says: we do not need to escape Earth, and we do not need to surrender to machines. We need to fix what we broke and rebuild the future with soul. Chapter 11: Reboot the Earth (Eden Protocol) After the lesson of Sankofa, the album presents a solution. “Reboot the Earth” imagines a full reset of humanity's values. Greed must be deleted. Compassion must be restored. Housing, food, water, energy, education, and peace must be rebuilt as human rights. This chapter is the repair manual for the future. It says that the Earth does not need another empire — it needs healing, justice, and balance. #RebootTheEarth #EdenProtocol #Kinte Lyrics [Hook] Reboot the Earth, run the Eden protocol, Delete the greed, reinstall the soul. If the system corrupted, we don't beg for control We patch it with love till it reach its goal. [Verse 1] Step one: unlearn what they taught you to crave, Step two: plant food where the bullets used to wave. Step three: share water like it's sacred law, Step four: build housing like human rights, not a flaw. [Interlude / System Voice] Warning: Profit motive detected. Warning: Empathy levels rising. [Verse 2] Step five: power grids that don't poison the kids, Step six: make peace louder than the bids. Step seven: tell the truth in the classroom again, Step eight: let the Earth breathe like a friend. [Hook] Reboot the Earth, run the Eden protocol, Delete the greed, reinstall the soul. If the system corrupted, we don't beg for control We patch it with love till it reach its goal.

Notes Sample: “We Have a Technical” by Tubeway Army Written and produced by Kinte Synopsis “Sankofa 3000 (Return With the Blueprint)” is the spiritual center of the album. Built from “We Have a Technical,” the track connects ancestral wisdom with futuristic vision. Kinte uses the meaning of Sankofa returning to the past to recover what was lost as the key to building a better tomorrow. The song shows that the future cannot be built correctly without memory, culture, and history. Sankofa is a word from the Akan people of Ghana that means: “Go back and get it.” The deeper meaning is: you must return to the past, learn from it, and bring that wisdom forward to build a better future. It is often connected to a symbol of a bird looking backward while moving forward, sometimes holding an egg in its mouth. The idea is that the past is not something to be ashamed of or forgotten it is something that can guide you. For the album The Future Is Ours, “Sankofa 3000” means using ancestral knowledge, Black history, and old wisdom as the blueprint for the future. Chapter 10: Sankofa 3000 (Return With the Blueprint) This is the spiritual center of the album. “Sankofa 3000” teaches that the future cannot be built without returning to the past. The story looks back to ancestors, memory, culture, and stolen knowledge to recover the blueprint for survival. This chapter brings the album's Afrofuturist message into focus: progress is not just machines and space travel. True progress comes from combining future technology with ancestral wisdom. #Sankofa3000 #BlackFuture #Kinte Lyrics [Verse 1] Sankofa in my chest, I fly backward to move, Grab the old wisdom like “this how we prove.” Future ain't a place, it's a practice, a stance, It's grandma's hands in a hologram dance. I'm reading hieroglyphs like it's source code lines, Ancient math in the rhythm, that's the origin signs. They tried to erase us, now we restore the file, Black history not a chapter, a style. [Verse 2] I return with the blueprint, not the bruises, Build a world where the “different” ain't used as excuses. Where AI is a tool, not a god on a screen, Where the “upgrade” includes everyone in between. [Outro / Spoken] To go forward, we retrieve what was stolen. We don't worship the past we consult it.

What if healing our communities begins with healing our relationship to the land? Welcome, regenerators, to a powerful conversation on sustainability, justice, and regenerative living with Minkah Taharkah. As an environmental scientist, community advocate, and leader with B Healthy B Holistic Consultation, the California Farmer Justice Collaborative, and The Butterfly Movement, Minkah is helping reimagine our relationship with land, food, and each other. Today, she explains how the Earth serves as the common thread in her work—from sustainable fashion to land justice advocacy—and how the CFJC pushes for equity for BIPOC farmers and socially disadvantaged ranchers through policy and legislation. We also unpack the difference between conventional farming and ecosystem land tending, highlighting reciprocal practices and traditional ecological knowledge like intercropping to protect soil health and combat “nutritional warfare.” Finally, Minkah shares how The Butterfly Movement uses art, food, and the African principle of Sankofa (“go back and fetch it”) to foster intergenerational healing and deeper community connection. This conversation is a powerful reminder that when we root ourselves in the land and each other, we grow something no system can take away. About Guest: Minkah Taharkah is a co-facilitator with B Healthy B Holistic Consultation firm. She is a multidisciplinary artist, environmental scientist & justice advocate, land steward, and designer. She is passionate about supporting the development of integral community connections through healing arts practice and engagement. In addition, she is a professional photographer, yoga instructor (200RYT), and multimedia & performing arts practitioner. Minkah also serves as the Coordinator for the California Farmer Justice Collaborative & Director of Land + Programming with The Butterfly Movement.

Midlife Reinvention, Caregiving & Betting on Yourself with Renée WhiteWhat does it mean to keep evolving in midlife — especially when life asks more of you than you ever expected?In this thoughtful and deeply personal episode of Reinvention Rebels, Wendy Battles talks with sociologist, academic leader, and longtime friend Renée White about caregiving, leadership, identity, self-trust, and the courage to leave spaces that no longer serve you. From caring for parents with dementia to stepping into leadership roles she never planned to pursue, Renée shares how curiosity, discernment, and community helped her continue evolving through every chapter of midlife reinvention.Together, Wendy and Renée explore what it means to bet on yourself, move toward possibility instead of simply running from discomfort, and embrace the concept of Sankofa — bringing the wisdom of your past forward as you continue becoming who you are meant to be.In this episode you'll hear:✨ Why curiosity has been the through-line of Renée's midlife reinvention journey

In session 323, In Class with Carr uses the 2026 Commencement Season to explore the nature of time and the ways rituals marking transition create opportunities to reflect on Africana Governance, our relationships to one another and our obligations to each other. Centering Sankofa as a Way of Knowing, we examine how individual and collective dignity and power are strengthened through action-oriented rituals of Cultural Meaning-Making that encourage collective reflection. Strengthening this momentum of memory is especially important during moments when Social Structures intensify contests over global and local power arrangements and weaponize identity and memory against groups perceived as threats to existing power systems. This week, during a meeting with the U.S. President and leading figures in global business, Chinese President Xi Jinping invoked a metaphor from the Greek historian Thucydides—“the Thucydides Trap”—to signal a shifting global balance of power. Whether in conversations among BRICS foreign ministers in India, in commencement addresses to anxious graduates at Black and other institutions, or in testimony of rising forces determined to break attempts by White nationalist legislators in the neo-Confederate U.S. South to hold on to their fading power arrangements, one message is clear: We are living through a new time in the perpetual realignment of power. The question we must answer is whether—and how—we will respond.Are you a member of Knarrative? If not, we invite you to join our community today by signing up at: https://www.knarrative.com.

Happy Earth Day! This week on Getting Better, Jonathan sits down with plant biologist, author, and educator Dr. Beronda Montgomery for a grounding conversation about nature's healing power and America's Black botanical legacy. Together, they explore why reconnecting with green spaces can be so transformative for our mental, emotional, and physical well-being, and how practices like urban gardening and container planting can help us build a more meaningful relationship with the natural world—no sprawling backyard required. Jonathan and Dr. Montgomery also dig into the deeper wisdom held in landscapes, plants, and history itself—examining interdependence, the ways trees and land can testify to the past, and the often-overlooked contributions of African Americans in botany and agriculture, alongside the foundational knowledge of Indigenous communities. They touch on the significance of willow trees, the meaning of Sankofa, and what it means to look back in order to carry wisdom forward in a powerful episode about healing, remembrance, purpose, and the responsibility of growing a better future together. Dr. Montgomery's new book When Trees Testify: Science, Wisdom, History, and America's Black Botanical History (Henry Holt, 2026) is out now.  BIO: Dr. Beronda L. Montgomery is a writer, science communicator, and researcher. She has spent more than 20 years in higher education, most recently as vice president for academic affairs (2022–2024) and professor of biology (2022–present) at Grinnell College. Montgomery studies how plants and photosynthetic bacteria perceive, respond to, and are impacted by environments in which they exist. She is the author of Lessons from Plants (Harvard University Press, 2021) as well as her newest book When Trees Testify: Science, Wisdom, History, and America's Black Botanical History (Henry Holt, 2026). Trees stand at the intersection of plant knowledge, Black agricultural history, and collective memories of trauma and triumph intertwined. In When Trees Testify, Montgomery explores the roles that seven tree species—pecan, willow, oak, poplar, mulberry, sycamore, and apple—along with the cotton shrub have played in the lives of Black Americans from their enslavement in the United States to the present. She also explores the science of these plants as well as the sometimes-fraught relationship that African Americans have with agriculture and plants.

What if sexual freedom isn't something we need to fight for, but something we're being invited to remember? In this episode of The Language of Love Conversations, I sit down with Nana Darkoa Sekyiamah, one of Africa's most influential feminist voices and the author of the powerful new book Seeking Sexual Freedom: African Rites, Rituals, and Sankofa in the Bedroom. Nana is also the award-winning writer behind The Sex Lives of African Women, and her work has sparked global conversations about pleasure, liberation, and the deeper truths women share across cultures. In our conversation, we delve into her new book, which is part travel log, part cultural excavation, and part manifesto. Together, we explore African traditions around sexuality and pleasure that existed long before colonization and how those traditions challenge many of the stories women have inherited about desire and shame. What I love most about Nana's work is that she doesn't frame sexual liberation as something women must rebel toward. Instead, she invites us to remember. We talk about traditions like the “sex auntie,” communal rituals where women gathered across generations to share wisdom, and the importance of embodiment. Nana also shares how reconnecting with movement and our bodies can help us step out of shame and rediscover sensuality. If you've ever felt disconnected from your body, burdened by shame you didn't ask for, or curious about what pleasure might feel like if you could unlearn everything you were taught, this conversation is for you. We dive into: The meaning of Sankofa and how reclaiming the past can restore sexual freedom How colonialism interrupted natural freedom, leading to modern shame, homophobia, and marginalization The role of sex aunties (Senga) in guiding young women toward body confidence and pleasure without shame Rituals and rites of passage that created safe spaces for learning about sex Embodied practices like dance and movement as pathways to pleasure How sexual confidence influences confidence in the rest of our lives The trauma of female genital mutilation (FGM) and efforts to preserve cultural rites without harm What sexual freedom actually feels like in the body How we can all create new rituals for ourselves, our daughters, and our communities Why intergenerational conversations about sexuality matter Remember, sexual freedom may not be something we need to fight for. It may be something we're being invited to rediscover. To learn more, check out Nana's book Seeking Sexual Freedom: African Rites, Rituals, and Sankofa in the Bedroom.

Will we ever fully know and understand God? And if we could … would that even be God? In this final episode of our Unexpected Divine conversations, Revs. Brittany and Hannah explore John 1:18: “No one has ever seen God. It is God, the only Son, who is close to the Father’s heart, who has made him known.” Through their conversation, the female pastors of First United Methodist Church of San Diego use poetic theology, humor, and real-life reflection to wrestle with: What it means that Jesus “exegetes” (reveals) the heart of God Why mystery is not a weakness of faith, but its depth How Jesus reshapes our understanding of transcendence Why not knowing everything about God doesn’t excuse us from justice Whether Christocentrism is compatible with Jesus’ own ministry How diversity in religions may reflect the vastness of the Divine From TikTok analogies to the Grand Canyon, from Mary & Martha to Sankofa, this conversation invites us into a faith that is expansive, relational, and beautifully unfinished. Reflection Questions: What does Jesus show us about God? Which ideas about God have shaped my faith, and which no longer help me grow? What does it mean that God is not “seen” but is still “made known”? Join the conversation by sharing this episode, reflecting with someone you trust, or connecting with the Perspectives community online through Patreon and in person at the weekly Convergence Discussion Group.

In this Stitch Please Sankofa episode, host Lisa from Black Women's Stitch opens 2026 with a reflective 2025 year in review, grounded in the West African principle of Sankofa: learning from the past to build a better future. This episode offers listeners a vivid and personal exploration of the history of Black quilting and sewing, creative traditions, and the lived experiences that shaped the Stitch Please podcast throughout the year.From a six-month appointment at Wellesley College's Humanities Center to hands on engagement with the Black craft and fiber arts community in Boston, Lisa takes us through a year of learning, stitching, collaborating, and teaching. She deepens ties to Black women quilters in Boston, craft industry professionals, quilt guilds, and local libraries while examining the shifting landscape of independent craft businesses and maker culture.This Sankofa reflection also covers Lisa's entry into narrative podcasting about Black history, including a storytelling episode on Miss Fine Brown Frame and the award-winning narrative short “Very Fine People”, recognized by Audio Flux. Her travels to Cape Town and Ghana highlight the connection between African diaspora textile traditions, sewing history, and the enduring cultural legacy of handmade work.Finally, Lisa revisits a year marked by creative celebration and industry acknowledgment. Serving as a Golden Scissors judge at H+H Americas, earning an AMBIE nomination, and winning three Black Podcasting Awards all of which further solidified her voice as an award-winning Black podcaster, scholar, and cultural memory keeper. Through the lenses of community, knowledge, storytelling, and recognition, Lisa invites listeners to choose what personal wisdom to carry into 2026 and to embrace the power of Black women in creative leadership, dreaming boldly even in turbulent times.=======Dr. Lisa Woolfork is an associate professor of English specializing in African American literature and culture.

This week's session with Dr. Greg Carr and Professor Karen Hunter comes live from the 10th annual Celebration Bowl HBCU National Football Championship and Band of the Year Competition. These are Governance formation rituals where Ways of Knowing, Cultural Meaning-Making and Movement and Memory imprint our future. Against an increasingly desperate death rattle of US White Nationalism fed by intensifying media disruption and institutional assault, these Governance formations become both refuge and resistance: Bodies in formation, convening as instruction, institutions as anchors. Memory need not drift—it can advance, step by step, propelled by Sankofa and teaching us who we are and must yet be to and for each other and the world.Are you a member of Knarrative?

Progressive Christian Podcast on Faith, Justice & Reconciliation — Weekly Scripture: Micah 6:8 — “Do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with God.” Join Rev. Brittany and special guest Leo Djamson for an inspiring and deeply honest conversation about faith, racial justice, and cultural understanding through the lens of First United Methodist Church of San Diego’s Sankofa Pilgrimage to Ghana – exploring the lasting effects of the transatlantic slave trade and how it’s shaped the beautifully diverse and resilient people of Ghana. It’s an impactful journey of discovery for all involved regardless of heritage, upbringing, personal experiences, and political beliefs. This pilgrimage is one of the ways that the church lives out Micah’s call to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God. It’s all about embracing racial justice and loving kindly as we uncover and unpack some of the history of our ancestors that influence our implicit biases and contribute to today’s continuing racial tensions. Leo is a member of church who grew up in Ghana. Listen in as he shares about his childhood, how Ghana shaped his life, and the cultural similarities and differences than the US. They also discuss the misconceptions the US has about west Africa and how Ghana honors its history and participation in the transatlantic slave trade. This conversation models an effective, healthy way to connect with others at a deeper, more meaningful level to expand our awareness and appreciation of other cultures – finding shared experiences as well as the mosaic of beautiful differences that shape the way we interact with and understand the world and our communities. We invite you to continue this conversation model! Join our in-person Convergence group or our online community at patreon.com/fumcsd. Our groups are open to all — wherever you are on your spiritual journey. As a progressive church, we provide a safe space to dig deeper into your faith and beliefs. About the Sankofa Pilgrimage: The Sankofa Pilgrimage is more than a trip. It is a sacred journey of study, travel, and reflection, rooted in the West African Adinkra symbol Sankofa, which means “It is not foolish to go back and get that which you have forgotten.” Together, pilgrims remember the humanity of all people, confront painful truths about the church’s complicity in racism, and explore how God is calling us to be builders of justice and reconciliation today. The Sankofa Pilgrimage welcomes people of all faith backgrounds. Teens 14+ may attend with a trusted adult. Classroom learning is free and open to everyone, even for those not traveling.

Dichter Bernice Vreedzaam schreef de bundel ‘De vogelgrens oversteken', waarin zij haar eigen familiegeschiedenis verbindt met het grotere verhaal van de Marrons. Bij monde van de mythische vogel Sankofa voert ze de lezer van Afrika naar Suriname, waar we haar ouders leren kennen en hun liefde zien groeien op een verleden dat nooit helemaal tot rust komt. Vanuit dat verlangen ontvouwt zich ook de vraag hoe het nieuwe land, Nederland, zich aan hen presenteert. Met dit debuut kijkt Vreedzaam de erfenis van het zwijgen over het verleden recht in de ogen, en schenkt ze de lezer warmte, hoop en berusting. Presentatie: Frénk van der Linden

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.
