In the African traditional culture, there are a lot of things that define manhood. When one looks closely, there are good things in the definition of our traditional African man and some that are not good when placed under the scrutiny of scripture. in this podcast, we seek to define who man is.(Please note that the things outlined below may also apply to women, only that the main focus of this post was men.)Link to the blog: https://kuzaapp.com/biblical-manhood-vs-traditional-african-manhood/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kuzaappInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kuzaapp Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@kuzaapp

Traditional African, native, and indigenous healing methods are powerful. Many of the healing traditional methods have been stolen and destroyed during colonialism, slavery, and other acts of genocide. Fortunately, the resiliency of the cultures and peoples of the African diaspora saved the history, culture, spirituality, and healing methods. Michelle Lee's groundbreaking book, Working the Roots: Over 400 Years of Traditional African American Healing, discusses her 22-year journey to collect and "save" the traditions.   Join us for this ancestral journey of health and healing. Ms. Lee also shares time-honored (and effective!) health-preserving "medicines" and healing methods for common conditions and ailments.

Fr. Francis Adagyine is a Catholic Priest from Ghana Africa. He grew up as a Shepard, herding cattle to support his family. He also grew up in the Traditional African religion but a chance meeting with a group of Catholics set Father on a different course. This is a great story of how a Shepard of cattle becomes a Shepard of people. And he does so, guided by the Holy Spirit. Without the walls of a church this humble man of God leads his flock to experience the Good, The Beautiful and The True in the simplest of ways. The Knights of Columbus Council 3086 have been raising money to help Fr. Francis with some essentials.

Junteenth was celebrated across the country this weekend and is observed nationally Monday. In a new, Juneteenth-inspired cookbook, Nicole A. Taylor puts a summery spin on traditional African American food: making cocktails with sweet potatoes, fresh salads with collard greens and tons of ice cream. Although many people argue against commemorating the holiday with barbecues and other celebrations, Taylor spoke to Here and Now's Scott Tong about the juxtaposition of sorrow and sadness and how Black Americans have always had to make space for both.

What is Plant Spirit Medicine? Join speaker Diana Sproul as she describes plant spirit medicine as explained in Eliot Cowan's book of the same name. Plants, trees, rain, lightning and the Chinese elements (like water, metal, earth) are each represented by a consciousness. These may appear through meditation or dreaming in human, animal, insect or other form. Healing an imbalance or lack of a certain element in a person's spiritual make-up and life can help a person become well and whole again without addressing the illness itself. The book is highly recommended. The author says that is ordinary, and that all of us can learn to do what he does. Author Eliot Cowan trains students at the Blue Deer Center in New York state (http://www.BlueDeer.org). On Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bluedeercenter This lecture is Part 3 of 4.

How easy is it to shun traditional African cultural practices that have defined a community? Can national laws work where tradition has hindered an end to traditional harmful practices. Tough questions with no easy answers. In Kenya, Samburu community elders have closed ranks with the government and vowed to stop circumcising their girls. This is a major victory in Kenya's fight against the harmful practice which although illegal continues unabated due to strong traditional belief.

Hey guys! In this episode, we look at the phrase'white man's religion' which is often used to deter people from following Christianity; due to the horrific history associated with slavery and colonialism in which the Bible was used to justify those actions.

Ask the typical African person how they were raised and the majority of them will talk about being raised by their mothers, while their fathers were not actively involved in parenting. Traditional African values look at the mother as the primary parent - feeding the children, playing with/talking to them, spending quality time, teaching the children, etc; whereas African fathers are the breadwinners, and as such, supposedly have little or no time to participate in actively raising or parenting their children. We are in a time where there are clear benefits of having a father's involvement in his child's life. In this episode, I speak with Dapo Peters, a Nigerian-American man, who plays an active role in raising his daughter alongside his wife. Dapo shares what fatherhood means to him, how his father made it a point to spend time with him, his thoughts on gender differentiated parenting and more.

SHR # 2554 :: Traditional African Cured Meats Beat Beef Jerky plus Sweden and COVID-19 – Cory Conklin - I was introduced to Biltong and Droëwors by SHR listener John Bolger when Alisa and I visited Ireland. I was immediately hooked. But getting these African cured meats in the USA wasn't a possibility back then. To achieve their flavor first requires traditional seasonings used in Africa. Then they have to be slow cured for 2 weeks by air-drying. The end result is a cured meat that needs no refrigeration, but, unlike beef jerky, is tender and moist. Not like eating a roof shingle, but instead like eating real steak that has been dried to perfection. And also unlike beef jerky, not a single grain of sugar added. If you're a fan of beef and beef jerky prepare to change your opinion and eating habits. PLUS Sweden did not shut down their country in response to COVID-19. As such the MSM touted a death toll of catastrophic proportions. Even today, the New York Times calls Sweden a -cautionary tale- for the rest of the world claiming it -yielded a surge of deaths while sparing its economy from damage-. Is this true? Did Sweden fail miserably at protecting their population? Of did they just school the rest if the world in what not to do in response to this virus.

This is an excerpt from the Represented Podcast, hosted by yours truly. I spoke to my long-time friend and local Vancouver artist Lucid about his upbringing. We spoke about the effect of growing up with a traditional African father.   In this episode of the Represented podcast, we speak to Robert Muthama. Robert is a Kenyan-born, Vancouver-based artist who's journey so far has led to him focusing on the creation of music. We speak about Robert's journey as an artist from childhood, as well as how his upbringing has informed his decisions to-date. We speak on the stoic African father figure, relationships, early school memories and self-expression.   Want to hear more?

What is Plant Spirit Medicine? Join herbalist and nutritionist Diana Sproul as she presents plant spirit medicine as explained in Eliot Cowan's book of the same name. Plants, trees, rain, lightning and the Chinese elements (like water, metal, earth) are each represented by a consciousness. These may appear through meditation or dreaming in human, animal, insect or other form. Healing an imbalance or lack of a certain element in a person’s spiritual make-up and life can help a person become well and whole again without addressing the illness itself. The author says that is ordinary, and that all of us can learn to do what he does. Author Eliot Cowan does training at the Blue Deer Center in New York state. This lecture is Part 3 of 4 parts.

Part 2 of 2. We pick up where we left off last week. On this episode, our guests, Bablawo Ifakunle of Harlem (ifakunle.com) and Oluwo Familusi of Lagos (Twitter @familusiawo; Instagram @familusidamilare), two Priests of the Ifá Yoruba Traditional Religion, give us insight into what being an Ifá priest entails and what informs their morality. They dispel some misconceptions about their religion and teach us about some of the priesthood factions within the Ifá Yoruba Traditional Religion. The Ladies of NYAC discuss how our current religious practices are influenced by our culture, learn more about the proliferation of Ifá Yoruba Traditional Religion in the diaspora and how it’s transformed into religions such as Lucumí, Candomblé and Haitian Vodou. Of course, we ask our guests what they think of the resurgence of African Traditional Religious imagery, specifically Yoruba Traditional Religious imagery in pop culture thanks to Beyoncé’s Lemonade. ---------------------------------- Resources: - http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2015/10/the-spirituality-of-africa/ - http://thegrio.com/2011/10/19/african-religions-gain-following-among-black-christians/ - http://www.npr.org/2013/08/25/215298340/ancient-african-religion-finds-roots-in-america Episode was mixed by Ifeoluwa Olokode and theme song is Ayo by Femi Leye

Part 1 of 2. On this episode, we speak to Babalawo Ifakunle of Harlem and Oluwo Familusi of Lagos, two Priests of the Ifá Yoruba Traditional Religion. We discuss their backgrounds and journeys to priesthood, their thoughts on Nollywood’s portrayal of Traditional Religions, and ask if Ifá Yoruba Traditional Religion is in conflict with Abrahamic religions (Christianity, Islam and Judaism). The Ladies of NYAC recount their first interactions with Traditional African Religious practices, examine ways in which our current cultural practices are intertwined with Traditional Religions (listen out for when Yeka and Ify realize that they are from the same ancestral home!), and ask our listeners: what does religion do for you and how does your identity come through, if at all, in the practice of that religion? ---------------------------------- Resources: - http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2015/10/the-spirituality-of-africa/ - http://thegrio.com/2011/10/19/african-religions-gain-following-among-black-christians/ - http://www.npr.org/2013/08/25/215298340/ancient-african-religion-finds-roots-in-america Episode was mixed by Ifeoluwa Olokode and theme song is Ayo by Femi Leye
