Ayanmo Radio

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-Afr...

I'm realizing how important Africana studies education is in relationship to world news, politics, and how we imagine freedom. So, huge shoutout to Black Power Media for their work in revolutionary news and media. Much of the information in this episode is synthesized from Dhoruba Bin Wahad and Ajamu Baraka's interview with Kalonji Chonga on Riot Starter TV.

Stigma and religious intolerance plague African spiritual traditions more than any other religion in the world. Why? @umimaji @danielleelainebenjamin and @mulema_alchemy get into it all and so much more. This episode is jam-packed with gems on how to connect with your ancestors, what to be aware of, what medicine we carry, and the complexities of it all. The full episode is too large but will be a...

Happy Black History Month!!! I think we give more fuel to exaggerated differences as African people than we do our similarities and origins. The diaspora wars have been running rampant this past week - I was in a Tariq Nasheed twitter space where it was a clear “Foundational African American” versus the African world vibration. I'm tired...I'm tired of the exaggerated differences made amongst Afri...

Patron’s heard it first. I tapped into Seun Kuti's Instagram live back in October 2021 and had some thoughts I'd like to share...

This was such an impactful, insightful, and informative interview! When we think about astrology like many systems of knowledge we rarely get to understand the indigenous origins, perspectives,  and worldviews. So I decided to bring my good friend @Mulema_Alchemy to come on and share her work, research, and knowledge with us. Timestamps: 2:55-8:17 Distinctions in astrology; African and Indigenous...

A very heartfelt conversation with Aden Simone, a young freelance creative of African descent on how ancestral veneration changed her life. This was such a beautiful, honest, and authentic conversation. We hope anyone curious about the practice can get some insight into how to move forward. Timestamps: 00:00-07:40  How did you grow up spiritually/religiously? 07:40 - 27:00  How did you g...

Many of us suffer from this need to be perfect so much so that we don't respect our ignorance and the importance of being a student. We're human and we don't need to know everything to be worthy to speak, be, or create. Stop being so hard on yourself. 

Do you know how to rest? I've definitely been learning how to, and getting out of the habit of feeling like I'm not "on time". Capitalist society has us feeling like we’re never enough so we should never allocate time to rest. Like what is time really? Of course, we need to show up for ourselves and be in alignment but why feed into this idea that resting isn't productive? Why can’t stillness be "...

Systems around us are crumbling and sometimes we find our faith doing the same. Continue to do the work, continue to surrender, and continue to have faith. Because amidst your doubts, the creator and your ancestors still bless and carry you. But you have to continue to do the work.  Trusting ourselves is so crucial to our growth and development and you aren't alone in relearning how to trust your...

This was a very powerful message - I got emotional thinking about how cultures, stories, and people die if we don't talk about them. Do you know your story? The story of your people? Who are your people? Where did they come from? What is their story? Storytelling is how Africana people's families, cultures, and philosophies have lived on for thousands of years. But if we stop learning, stop speaki...

In this week's word of wisdom, I discuss our collective need to focus on the life we see for ourselves. Whether you want mental, emotional, spiritual, or financial stability, focus is fundamental.

In this week's spirit message I discuss the intuitive download I received on how victimhood and feelings of unworthiness have highjacked our lives and sense of pride- in connection to ourselves, our culture, and our communities.
