What if your relationship struggles aren’t just personal—but shaped by the systems you live in? Akilah Riley Richardson returns to explore how systemic trauma quietly shapes our relationships, nervous systems, and sense of self. Drawing from her work with marginalized couples, she introduces the concept of relational privilege and explains why healing cannot be separated from the social systems we live in. Together, Akilah and Sue challenge traditional Western therapy models, discuss the importance of “responsible externalizing,” and explore how therapists can create space for grief, imagination, and genuine connection instead of trying to fix what cannot simply be solved. “The experiences of marginalized people are often devalued even by helping professionals, and this text is my dedication to carving a space where we, as practitioners, can ensure that we are of service in a way that is rooted in the realities of our people. It is also a reflection of my obligation to marginalized couples and individuals. My sincere wish for them all is that they are never harmed in therapy but instead uplifted. ” – Akilah Riley-Richardson Time Stamps for The Hidden Weight of Systemic Trauma: How Oppression Shapes Our Relationships with Akilah Riley-Richardson (306) 02:05 The systemic trauma faced by marginalized couples 04:12 Barriers for global south therapists and voices 08:00 Fear, threat, and navigating space as a marginalized person 09:57 Relational privilege and systemic influence 12:03 The role of colonial Christianity in systemic trauma 17:50 The danger of model dogmatism in therapy 20:06 Neurobiological threat and systemic trauma 22:02 Practicing responsible externalizing in therapy 26:07 The grief of systemic trauma and loss 28:04 The limitations of evidence-based models 29:58 The need for imagination and community in healing 31:47 The concept of lostness and liminality in trauma 34:06 The danger of attachment to models and frameworks 35:59 Differentiating systemic from relational reality 38:10 Yoruba and indigenous healing traditions 41:59 The influence of colonialism and imperialism on therapy 43:53 Acknowledge systemic trauma in therapist self-awareness 49:57 Habits of survival and internalized oppression 51:52 The impact of systemic trauma on body and mind About our Guest – Akilah Riley-Richardson, MSW, CCTP Akilah Riley-Richardson, MSW, CCTP is a dedicated therapist, educator, and researcher with several years of experience.

Destroying The Works Of Darkness - Yoruba Prayer

Raised in a house with fourteen family members, Daymé Arocena reflects on how music, ancestry, and community shaped the woman she became. n this episode of Identified, Nabil Ayers sits down with Cuban singer, songwriter, and composer Daymé Arocena for a conversation about family, ancestry, identity, music, and leaving home to pursue impossible dreams. Daymé reflects on growing up in Havana in a house shared by fourteen family members, where singing wasn’t entertainment—it was survival. She explains how music became a daily expression of joy, resilience, and healing, long before she imagined becoming a professional musician. The conversation explores Cuba’s conservatory system, discovering jazz, embracing her Afro-Cuban identity, and the responsibility she felt carrying her family’s hopes while pursuing a career in music. She also shares how Yoruba spirituality shaped her understanding of success, responsibility, grief, and ancestry. From stories about her grandmother—the matriarch who inspired her artistry—to reflections on leaving Cuba, poverty, ambition, and becoming “the wildest dream” of her ancestors, this is an intimate conversation about identity, resilience, and the people who make us who we are.

Daniel Heredia está de regreso con nosotros para seguir compartiendo su historia familiar. Una abuela con tradición Yoruba, una casa donde ocurren cosas extrañas y varias muertes que rodean a la familia.  Y en las noticias paranormales: Una grabación en una gasolinera en México desató inquietud entre vecinos por una escena difícil de explicar: la figura de varios niños jugando en plena madrugada, lo extraño era que en realidad allí no había nada. En Honolulu una hay una estación de bomberos donde ocurren extraños sucesos que nadie puede explicar. Voces en la madrugada, sombras recurrentes, puertas que se abrían, golpes en las paredes.

50 millions de personnes parlent yoruba à travers les pays d'Afrique de l'Ouest et leurs diasporas. C'est une langue essentiellement orale mais qui possède tout de même des œuvres littéraires. Daniel Olorunfemi Fagunwa publie le premier roman en langue autochtone en 1938, à une époque où seule la Bible était disponible en langue locale. Aujourd'hui, des acteurs de la culture œuvrent pour entretenir et encourager une production littéraire. De notre correspondante à Lagos,  Dans La Forêt aux mille démons, Daniel Olorunfẹmi Fagunwa conte en Yoruba l'épopée d'un héros confronté à des épreuves surnaturelles, entre le monde des vivants et celui des esprits. Un premier roman publié en 1938, dans le but de contribuer à l'alphabétisation de son peuple dans un Nigeria encore sous domination britannique, mais aussi de préserver et partager un patrimoine culturel.  Ce n'est que trente ans plus tard que ce roman pionnier sera traduit en anglais par Wole Soyinka, dramaturge et prix Nobel de littérature, considéré comme l'un des héritiers de Fagunwa. Dans sa note de traduction de l'ouvrage, il admet que : « Le plaisir que procure son talent verbal est sans aucun doute largement perdu dans la traduction, mais cela ne justifie pas pour autant de réserver la lecture de Fagunwa aux seuls locuteurs du yoruba ».  Cette réflexion résume le paradoxe des auteurs yorubas, tiraillés entre le désir de préserver la pureté de leur langue et la nécessité de traduire pour exister auprès d'autres publics. À lire aussiShoneyin rêve de ramener la littérature en pays yorouba Mettre en avant la littérature yoruba Rasaq Malik Gbolahan, poète et écrivain, a choisi et il a lancé Atelewo, un magazine en ligne en langue autochtone qui décerne chaque année un prix aux œuvres en yoruba : « L'un des principaux projets que nous avons réalisés lorsque nous avons lancé Atelewo, nous avons lancé un appel à soumission d'œuvres littéraires : poèmes, nouvelles, essais écrits en langue yoruba. Nous voulions nous concentrer uniquement sur la langue yoruba. » Au centre J. Randle pour la culture Yoruba, à Lagos, entre tenues et objets traditionnels sont également exposés les auteurs populaires de la littérature yoruba comme Amos Tutuola, Wole Soyinka ou plus récemment Lola Shoneyin. Le directeur du centre, Qudus Onikeku, prépare l'ouverture d'une bibliothèque entièrement dédiée à ce patrimoine : « Ce serait une énorme collection de livres sur la culture yoruba et nigériane principalement, mais aussi sur l'Histoire. » « Je veux redonner vie à la tradition orale, poursuit-il, parce que je pense que la littérature pour nous était surtout puissante lorsqu'elle était lue à haute voix. » Afin d'assurer de nouvelles générations de lecteurs, le centre culturel propose tout au long de l'année des cours de yoruba.

Lord Fulfill Your Promises Over Me - Yoruba Prayer

Ajaabale is a piece of local news in the Yoruba dialect with the duo presentation of Bayo and Abolade.

Beneath the gloss of Nigeria's contemporary pop, older roots styles, mostly derived from Yoruba tradition, still thrive. In this program, we meet four top stars of fuji music, the percussion-driven, message-heavy, and occasionally profane trance music that animates weddings and parties on a daily basis in hidden corners of Lagos. Rival “kings” K1 da Ultimate and Saheed Osupa, and a rare woman of fuji, Salawa Abeni, take us inside the rough and tumble of an exciting musical subculture little known outside Nigeria. We also meet juju legend Shina Peters, meet up-and-comers on the Lagos roots scene. This program fills out our Hip Deep portrait of a vibrant African city where music holds the keys to a tumultuous collision of cultures and peoples. Produced by Banning Eyre. APWW #763

  Sermon Notes: FASTING AND PRAYERS GENERATE POWER FOR A CHANGE OF STORY Preacher: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa Main Scripture: Luke 4:14 Supporting Scriptures: Luke 4:1, Esther 3, Esther 4, Isaiah 54:17 Core Theme: Activating divine empowerment through fasting and prayer to break spiritual resistance, neutralize demonic decrees, and legally enforce a supernatural change of story. 1. Introduction: The Spiritual Imperative of Fasting Fasting is About Power: Fasting is not merely about staying away from food; it is a critical spiritual exercise. When believers engage in fasting and prayer, they are actively drawing near to God to generate dynamic spiritual power. The Pattern of Jesus: Scripture records that Jesus, being full of the Holy Ghost, went into the wilderness. After fasting, He returned in the power of the Spirit. The Power Flow: Power must flow when we fast. Every major patriarch, prophet, and apostle in scripture utilized fasting as a baseline lifestyle to trigger breakthroughs and historical shifts. 2. The Blueprint of Dominion: Executive Control Genesis 1:26 "...let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." Created to Rule: God's primary purpose for humanity is dominion. Dominion is a legal term representing authority, executive power, and political appointment. The Ultimate Mandate: Man was structurally programmed to take charge, subdue the earth, and enforce God's sovereign will in this material realm. The Loss of Dominion: When a believer's life is consistently subject to patterns of loss, tragedy, or situations they do not desire, it is a sign that their dominion has been compromised and something else is illegally controlling their environment. 3. The Prophetic Case Study: Overturning a Sealed Decree The Irreversible Law: In the book of Esther, Haman utilized demonic manipulations, magicians, and astrologers to cast lots (Pur) for twelve months to select a specific day to completely annihilate the Jewish people. This decree was legally signed and sealed with the king's signet ring, making it completely irreversible by human laws. The Spiritual Counter-Attack: Recognizing that the crisis was rooted in spiritual dimensions, Queen Esther did not rely on her physical beauty or her executive position in the palace. She commanded Mordecai and all the Jews in Shushan to fast and pray for three days—neither eating nor drinking—and committed to doing the same with her maids. The Structural Shift: On the third day, after the fast concluded, Esther put on her royal robes and stood before the king. The fast had completely altered the spiritual climate. Before she could even state her request, the king granted her favor, promising her up to half of the kingdom, which ultimately led to the complete destruction of Haman and the preservation of the Jews. 4. The Six Supernatural Realities Activated by Fasting When believers engage in strategic fasting, they activate precise spiritual tools to enforce dominion over real-world situations: I. The Weapon of Prophetic Proclamations (Incantations) Fasting clarifies your spiritual senses, allowing your tongue to issue powerful, decree-level words. Continuous speaking in tongues is the believer's legal form of divine incantations. While dark forces use early morning incantations to try to control natural elements, believers must rise up in prayer to dynamically program their days and command their environments. II. The Deployment of Material Tokens and Signs God Works Through Elements: God frequently commands the use of physical tokens—such as anointing oil, communion, or specific symbolic acts—to anchor and express invisible spiritual power. The Axe-Head Floating (2 Kings 4): Elisha cut a physical piece of wood and threw it into the water where a borrowed iron axe-head had sunk, causing the heavy metal to instantly float to the top. The Altar Testimony: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa shared a testimony of a family member whose kidneys were failing and was completely unconscious in the hospital. A prophetic token was deployed where his name was written down and legally laid upon the church altar. This intercepted the sickness, and subsequent clinical scans showed his kidneys were fully and completely restored. The Power of Anointing Oil (Ororo): The Pastor referenced the raw testimonies that follow the use of anointing oil (Ororo in Yoruba). A sister who was dealing with persistent medical anomalies applied blessed oil every day for months, completely curing her body and causing financial doors to swing wide open. III. The Activation of Covenant Practices (Tithing/Giving) Giving and tithing are not simple financial transactions; they are high-level covenant activations. In places like Nigeria, even secular entities understand the spiritual force of sacrifice. Sacrificial giving releases an unstoppable voice in the spirit realm that forces resources to flow to you. IV. The Release of Prophetic Healing Wine (Communion) The Communion is a literal proclamation of life. A sister who suffered from severe, un-diagnosable asthma for years took blessed communion wine during a fast, and the condition completely vanished. When administered to her daughters, it unlocked a continuous stream of academic excellence, causing them to consistently rank first in their classes. V. The Enforcement of Territorral Ground-Sanctification Physical land can be prophetically won or cleared. In a battle over real estate contested by land guards, the Pastor prophetically sprinkled blessed sand and poured water over the landscape. This act legally locked down the territory, and despite multiple subsequent attempts by intruders, they were structurally blocked from interfering with the property. VI. The Destruction of Weaponized Demonic Schemes Scripture: Isaiah 54:17 Demonic structures can be custom-made and weaponized directly against your DNA, your business, or your health. However, the Bible guarantees that “no weapon fashioned against you shall prosper.” Fasting and prayer systematically disassemble these custom demonic operations and completely destroy their capacity to function. 5. Practical Execution & Commissioning To break negative patterns and command a permanent change of story, every believer must aggressively employ these spiritual tools: Audit Your Life's Patterns: If you notice a consistent trend of losing resources, losing health, or experiencing repeated disruptions, do not treat it as a natural phase. Write down the specific area of resistance and explicitly target it during this fast. Engage in Relentless Invocations: Use the nights of this fast to loudly stream tongues over your life, your home, and your family. Speak fine, powerful words into the atmosphere to drown out any illegal demonic voice. Deploy Your Prophetic Media and Tokens: Responsibly utilize the communion, blessed oil, and prophetic parameters given. Do not stop after a few days; be completely committed to the protocol. When mixed with faith, these tokens will force your story to completely change and bring your absolute dominion to pass!

Stop 3 on our summer world tour takes us to the continent of Africa — specifically to Nigeria, the most populous country on the continent, home to more than 500 distinct ethnic groups, hundreds of languages, and one of the richest and most diverse musical traditions in the world. In this episode, we explore the deep roots of Nigerian folk music — from the ancient kingdoms of the Yoruba, Igbo, and Hausa peoples to the extraordinary talking drum that literally speaks a language, to the interlocking rhythms of the ogene bells that influenced jazz, blues, and gospel music in America. We also talk honestly about how the transatlantic slave trade carried Nigerian musical DNA across the ocean, and how those rhythms survived, took root, and grew into something new without ever losing their essential character. And we connect it all to the contemporary Nigerian music that is shaping global sound right now. Nigeria's music is not a museum piece. It is alive, evolving, and more influential than most people realize. What We Cover in This Episode Nigeria's geography, history, and extraordinary cultural diversity Ancient Nigerian civilizations: the Nok, the Yoruba kingdoms, the Benin Kingdom, the Hausa city-states, and the Igbo communities How the transatlantic slave trade carried Nigerian musical traditions to Puerto Rico, Brazil, Cuba, Trinidad, and the American South — and how those traditions survived The dundun (talking drum) — how an hourglass-shaped drum can reproduce the tones of a spoken language The Yoruba musical tradition, the Ifá spiritual tradition, and the role of specific drum rhythms in ceremony and community life Jùjú music — how the Yoruba folk tradition evolved into a modern genre, with King Sunny Ade as a key figure Igbo folk music — the ọjà flute and the ogene iron bells, with their interlocking rhythmic patterns How West African interlocking rhythms became the foundation of jazz, blues, and gospel music in America Afrobeats and how contemporary Nigerian artists are carrying folk traditions into global popular music today Free Downloads for This Episode

The Kingly Anointing - Yoruba Prayer

Trust is a basic ingredient in every relationship. This applies to individuals, marriages,business partners, nations and the relationship of governments to individuals. Trust isthe topic we are going to explore today and how it applies to emergency managementand disasters.Kehinde Bolu Adesina, also known as Kenny, is a PhD researcher in MassCommunication at the University of Oklahoma's Gaylord College. His work focuses onthe intersection of crisis communication, disaster communication, public trust, andmisinformation. He studies how institutions, government agencies, nonprofits, andfaith-based organizations communicate during high-risk events, and why thosecommunication systems often fail even when the people inside them are working hardand acting in good faith.He is a contributor to a major NSF-funded disaster resilience project at OU, where heconducts research on how organizations share critical knowledge during emergencies,analyze misinformation patterns on social media, and support cross-sectorpreparedness workshops involving emergency managers, nonprofits, faith-basedorganizations, and public health communicators. His research builds toward aframework called the “Crisis Meaning-Making Model,” which examines howcommunities interpret events through emotion, identity, and social context, not justofficial information.Originally from Nigeria, he completed his bachelor's degree in Communication atBeijing Normal University in China and his master's degree in Communication at theUniversity of Illinois Springfield. Before beginning his doctoral work, he served as anIllini Science Policy Fellow and Media Production Coordinator at the Illinois Departmentof Agriculture, supporting communication on conservation and climate resilience.Kenny is multilingual, speaking English, Yoruba, French, and Mandarin, and brings adistinctly cross-cultural lens to questions of trust, public risk, and institutional credibility.He has a newsletter, Making Sense of Uncertainty, translating crisis communicationresearch into practical guidance for leaders working in emergency management, publichealth, and organizational communication.Please visit our sponsors!L3Harris Technologies' BeOn PPT App. Learn more about this amazing product here: www.l3harris.com Visit The Readiness Lab and learn about our Next Level Emergency Management training! https://www.thereadinesslab.com/Impulse: Bleeding Control Kits by professionals for professionals: www.dobermanemg.com/impulseDoberman Emergency Management Group provides subject matter experts in planning and training: www.dobermanemg.comCheck out how you can use digital twins in your training, exercising, and planning using RSET https://rset.com/ For sponsorship requests, check out our Sponsorship Portfolio here or email us at contact@thereadinesslab.com

We are breaking down the entire short-list and ranking, review, and digging into the 2026 Nebula Novel nominees from worst to best. We dive deep into the writing styles, the structure, the highs, the frustratingly bad endings, and reveal exactly who took home the final trophy. Are these books actually masterclasses in modern sci-fi and fantasy, or did the hype train leave the tracks?  Here is our definitive 2026 Nebula breakdown:  7. Death of the Author by Nnedi Okorafor  You should read it if: You love deep-dives into African culture, Ibo and Yoruba roots, and tech concepts like futuristic exoskeleton legs. You shouldn't read it if: You require a persistent central conflict, cohesive subplots, or a "story-within-a-story" that actually goes somewhere. 6. Wearing the Lion by John Wiswell You should read it if: You want a cozy Hercules retelling where Hera calls Zeus a "dipshit" and Heracles tries to befriend mythological monsters instead of fighting them. You shouldn't read it if: You get annoyed by overly preachy or cloying endings, repetitive quest structures, or confusing second-person POV shifts. 5. Katabasis by R. F. Kuang  You should read it if: You are obsessed with dark academia themes, the dangers of academic flow states, and complex, highly allusional world-building. You shouldn't read it if: You need to deeply connect with your protagonists or get easily annoyed by writing that feels a little too self involved. 4. When We Were Real by Daryl Gregory You should read it if: You love quick, humorous POV switches, AGI, simulation theory, and brain emulation concepts. You shouldn't read it if: You are looking for a groundbreaking, deeply unique masterpiece—this one is cute, but a bit unspecial. 3. Sour Cherry by Natalia Theodoridou You should read it if: You like heavy foreshadowing, experimental voice-switching (shifting to 2nd person), and intense meta-narratives. You shouldn't read it if: You hate a massive buildup that doesn't actually come together or stick the landing at the end. 1. (TIED) The Incandescent by Emily Tesh You should read it if: You want adult-oriented cozy fantasy in a magic boarding school featuring a workaholic, middle-aged bisexual teacher and casual, biscuit-eating printer demons. You shouldn't read it if: A rushed, abrupt ending with a thin villain motivation is going to completely sour your overall enjoyment of a great setup. 1. (TIED & WINNER) The Buffalo Hunter Hunter by Stephen Graham Jones You should read it if: You want a beautifully written, highly literary Native American Blackfoot vampire revenge story set in the brutal landscape of the American West. You shouldn't read it if: You get bored by a monotonous middle section where the central premise loses steam and repeats itself. No spoilers anywhere in this episode.

In which the Curmudgeons express awe and amazement over the musical innovation and rebellious spirit of one Fela Aníkúlápó Kuti. Already an established jazz-fusion bandleader in his native Nigeria, a nearly year long stay in Los Angeles in 1969 exposed Kuti to the thrilling sounds of that era's soul and funk music and to the rage and purpose behind the politics of Black empowerment. Kuti returned home reinvigorated and over the course of the 1970s, he proceeded to fashion what we now call Afrobeat, writing and performing marathon-length compositions that spliced funk, R&B, jazz and Afro-Cuban music with the polyrhythmic Yoruba beats of his homeland. Kuti thrusted rousing horn punches, electric-piano sensuality and especially lush and glorious saxophone solos into the world's consciousness. And he became more furious and more targeted in his criticisms of African colonialism, imperialism and governmental corruption--to the point the Nigerian government burned down his commune and, later, imprisoned him on trumped-up charges. Kuti's resultant suffering and defiance through it all became a rallying cry for justice among the Western world, helping him transcend his status as a musical visionary into something entirely more heroic. We explore the best of Fela Kuti's music and meditate on his lasting influence during this episode.    Enjoy the music of Fela Kuti by accessing our special Spotify playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7jmPzVgNCI1252H9b19UhJ?si=3fcbe59f198346bb   Here is a handy navigational companion to this episode.   (00:52 - 03:37) - Arturo Andrade sets the parameters for our discussion of Fela Kuti   (04:11 - 14:21) - The Parallel Universe, featuring reviews of new albums from Brother Wallace and Touch Girl Apple Blossom (and an amusing recitation mishap by Christopher O'Connor)   (15:20 - 49:18) - We discuss the musical and cultural legacy of Fela Kuti right up front.

The sisters are ecstatic for this long overdue convo with Báyò Akómoláfé, Chief Curator of The Emergence Network, a speaker, author, fugitive neo-materialist com-post-activist public intellectual and Yoruba poet.Bayo's new book is Selah, about which adrienne writes, "Báyò Akómoláfé is a philosopher who is pushing us to think outside of every narrative we take for granted. In this text, he guides us to reconsider how we relate to the world—and to internalize the fact that earth and all of nature are alive, relating to us. Selah is an ancient Indigenous orientation, poured through Báyò's trickster poetry to make for a fresh agitation.”---⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TRANSCRIPT⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠---⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SUPPORT OUR SHOW⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/Endoftheworldshow---HTS ESSENTIALS⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SUPPORT Our Show on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/Endoftheworldshow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠PEEP us on IG⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/endoftheworldpc/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Today AC & Isaac welcome herbalist and teacher Olatokunboh Obasi back to the Plant Cunning Podcast for a second interview, now speaking from outside Nairobi, Kenya. Obasi shares that she's finishing a doctorate in clinical nutrition while working toward opening an integrative women's health clinic, and explains how nutrition, changing food systems, and modern indoor life affect herbal outcomes. She discusses divination and geomancy, genetics as “codes” responding to environment, and how she navigates multiple traditions—Yoruba as her root, alongside Taíno and Kenyan indigenous practices—without collapsing them into one. They explore Kenyan healing culture, including lineage-based herbalism, diviners, birth workers, and bone-setting (lila) meridian work, plus a story of discovering an East African betony for headaches. Obasi also defines traditional African medicine as diverse, spiritually centered, and regionally distinct, and critiques material reductionism in Western herbalism while pointing to figures like Culpeper and Hildegard as bridges back to spirit.00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro01:45 Ola's Life in Kenya03:50 Why Clinical Nutrition05:52 Divination and Genetics09:31 Lineages and Training11:41 Navigating Multiple Traditions16:47 Plants Calling in Kenya22:15 Healing Culture in Kenya24:40 Bone Setting and Lila28:32 Community-Based Medicine34:32 Defining African Traditional Medicine36:16 Spirit First Healing36:47 Lineage And Bioregions37:45 Cross Cultural Herbal Exchange41:37 Reclaiming Spirit In Herbalism44:02 Traditional Western Medicine45:44 Astrology, Culpeper, Hildegard50:17 Centering Over Scrolling53:07 Rest Boredom And Reading54:07 Rethinking Academia And Art58:27 Craft Culture And Kenya
