  • Let's talk Trans-Atlantic Slave trade or was it trafficking?

    I visited the historic Cape Coast Slave Castle and had the remarkable Justice K. Acquah as our tour guide. He absolutely does Justice to the tour and his passion is undeniable. He has been a tour guide at the Cape Coast for over a decade and some.

    This experience was very evocative for me, I found myself teetering between weeping, a feeling of asphyxiation and nausea at some point at the gruesome reality of what took place here. I share this talk because by the time we left I was able to see what lessons to take from the time we spent in the castle and I hope you will be provoked into some hard questions and conversations.

    The building struck me as a little girl trying to keep up appearances, its whitewashed exterior a facade of innocence. As I entered, the stark contrast between light and dark hit me with visceral force. The male slave dungeon, hidden beneath the pristine surface, was oppressively heavy, shrouded in darkness, and claustrophobically confining. The juxtaposition of the building's outward purity and its grim interior deeply haunting.

    We are aware of the audio issues in some parts of the recording and were unfortunately unable to fully resolve them. As this was a tour recording, we believe the conversation was still important to keep. Thank you for your understanding and grace.

    The question that has been on my mind for a while has been “Why is our generation a Fatherless Generation?”

  • 𝔽𝕒𝕚𝕥𝕙 𝕠𝕟 𝕋𝕣𝕚𝕒𝕝 - pǝʞoʎ ʎllɐnbǝu∩

    I had the joy of being on Star FM, one of Zimbabwe’s national radio stations, where we spoke about being unequally yoked in 21st-century dating on the show Faith On Trial!

    After the interview, so many people asked about this episode—and the Faith On Trial hosts at Star FM graciously agreed to let me share this excerpt. Yay!

    In this episode, I sit down with ET (Ephraim Tagu), Pastor Presley Nyenya, Thobekile Sibanda, and Sakhile—with a special shout-out to Steve Vickers in absentia.

  • Mission Possible: Guest Peggie Shangwa

    I know for most when we talk about #Mission24/7 most people think its escapist and for lazy folks who have not got anything else to do but Mayn let me walk you into some truth in this episode.

    Missions is not only for super-Christians, you can be on mission everyday from where you are. Missionaries are not glorified tourists living an easy travel life. You can lose your life on these streets. Its a life and death issue.

    In this episode Umind?! walks through the issues to do with Missions and field work and talks about a trip where she could have died.

  • Becoming the Poem: Guest Gracia Nicholls
    One of those conversations that are meaningful in more ways than one because they are real, raw and authentic. Join Gracia and I in a conversation we tried to have in Uganda, failed dismally, nothing seemed to align for us in 2022 so to be able to finally do this was such a win for us both. When you listen to this episode you pick up why Gracia is a Storyteller and why she is the depiction of the term deep. She feels acutely and some of these emotions end up hanging out on pages and lounging in meaning in songs as she weaves stories that give a generation language for expressing pain that can’t be interpreted easily. Gracia Nicholls is a storyteller, who has graced national and over 10 international stages as a performer, poet and speaker. She is the founder of Bly Staan , a brand that seeks to inspire and encourage people. Her passion for social transformation using the arts has her working for NPO South Roots international and serving as a mentor and performer for ATKV-CRESCENDO. You can find her Spoken word across platforms. Gracia PERFORMS a Spoken word piece in the middle of this Sit down. https://open.spotify.com/track/5G47ldU9F6xrk6HecgSSDS?si=jI3jBBNXSX2B1CbW_2u6Wg
