In this episode of Ayanmo Radio, I dive into a necessary conversation about the tension that exists across the African diaspora particularly the disrespect often aimed at Black Americans and where these common misunderstandings come from. Sparked by a recent post from beauty creator Deja.Zhane, we’re unpacking xenophobia, and the impact of historical erasure on how we see each other.From Pan-Africanism to cultural pride, we ask: Do people across the African diaspora truly recognize Black American culture as a continuity of African culture? Or are we losing the plot all together?

Sankofa, African Spirituality & Healing Through Community

In this episode, I reflect on:

•My personal return to African spirituality and why it matters

•The philosophy of Sankofa and what it really means to go back and get it

•How embodiment of spiritual practice is the antidote to global disembodiment

•The importance of community in the process of self-understanding

•Why reconciling historical trauma is vital for those of African descent

Our healing and spiritual practice is much bigger than the commercialization of self-care. Liberation is a spiritual pursuit, Healing is a spiritual pursuit. It is an act of resistance and rebellion to a system that seeks to traumatize us and distract us from the true reality of our world and our destinies.

A storytime that leads to a conversation about the importance of following your heart as means of following your destiny.
