Sankɔfa Journey 2009
Monday July 6 - Saturday, July 18
just $3400
led by
Ɔkɔmfoɔ Nana Efia Nsia (Mawiya Kambon, Ph.D.)
Ɔsɔfoɔ Ɔkyeame Kwame (Obadele Kwame Kambon, MA, MA)
Sankɔfa Abusua
Abosom ne Mmoatia Fie
The 2009 Sankɔfa Journey is always Exclusively and Unapologetically for Afrikan (Black)
People Only.
Nana Efia's first return back to Afrika was in 1972 as part of
a group led by the late Nana Dinizulu.
Since that time, Nana Efia has led groups of Afrikans back to Afrika ranging in number from 15 to 500, including one of the largest single returns of Afrikan people back to Afrika
in recent history as the President of the Association of Black Psychologists for their 2000 International Convention in Ghana.
In 1998, Nana Efia took her son, Obadele Kwame, to Ghana, West Afrika to experience the Sankɔfa Journey.
As a result of that experience, since that time, he has gone on to study Twi and other Afrikan languages, earning degrees in Afrikan Languages and Literature and Linguistics.
He now functions as an Ɔkyeame (Interpreter/Spokesperson) for his mother in addition to teaching Twi and other Afrikan Languages professionally.
The Sankɔfa Journey of July
is a very special journey
encompassing committed and intelligent
people from various places
and various walks of life
converging in Afrika
to experience
Sankɔfa!
Every year
a very special group of Afrikans
experience a journey
that they will never forget.
A journey back to Afrika.
A journey within.
Experiencing The Sankɔfa Healing Journey...
Becoming Empowered by the Experience of Sankɔfa

What: Online Class: Akokͻ Nan: Protection and Guardianship of Our Afrikan Children in the Age of WAR with Mut Kentake Merimut
Who: You Afrikan!
When: Start date of the course: April 11, 2009 7:30PM EST and Saturdays for five (5) classes. 90 minutes per class.
Where: Abibitumi Kasa member classroom at http://www.abibitumikasa.com/forums/chat/flashchat.php

Why: "As Afrikan warriors/parents/elders we are the first teachers of our Afrikan children, we are the foundation upon which our mma (Akan for children) will stand. It is only we that must be their teachers. It is only we that can teach them the value system of their nananom, the social system of how to function in accordance with their ancestral inheritance, on how to function as Asafo. It is only we that can socialize them to be responsible, disciplined and committed Afrikans who are ready to uphold the honor of their Nananom by any means necessary. We cannot leave Our children in the Hands of our Enemies and expect them to be devoted to RE-Afrikanization, we cannot leave our children in the Hands of our Enemies and expect that they will not be brutally traumatized by their psychopathic insanity.
We must collectively develop a strategic plan to protect our children in these catastrophic times of WAR and in this age of neo-colonialism and imperialism. As we know and as Our Baba Mwalimu Baruti has stated “there are casualties in every war”, however, we must make sure that those casualties WILL NOT be Our children ANYMORE. With the advent of intense family dysfunctionality, separation, divorce, domestic abuse, child molestation and abuse, social services intervention, single parents living in poverty, massive incarceration of many Afrikan fathers and sons and so much more ongoing mentacide and genocide affecting our communities, we cannot continue to ignore the effect these traumatic conditions are having on Our Afrikan children and on Our ability to raise healthy warriors who will take the baton of Afrikan Liberation into the next stage of Our Evolution.
A major part of the Soul-lution in my humble observation, as an Afrikan mother, is the Re-Store-A-Nation and Re-Construction of Our extended family system, when we knew that what affects one Afrikan family would also affect the WHOLE community. For the sake of the Survival of Our children, we must make a commitment to Family Reparations, RE-pairing and Healing the Family Nucleus from within."

A continuing part of our Abibitumi Kasa fundraiser:
http://www.abibitumikasa.com/fundraiser.html
Why: "It has been said that 'power is the ability to define reality and have others respond to that definition is if it were their own.' Further, the reality of today is based upon the concepts and theories of yesterday. These are concepts that are eternally linked to a specific culture. A specific language with a specific history. According to Ngugi wa Thiong’O 'language carries culture, and culture carries...the entire body of values by which we come to perceive ourselves and our place in the world.' It is said that, 'the one who prescribes the diameter of your knowledge determines the circumference of your activity.' In other words, 'a cow grazes where it is tied' and 'cattle is only as good as the field in which it grazes.' How WE are able to and choose to conceive of the world is mediated by language. It is through conceptual incarceration within the prison of an alien language designed and intended to serve only its master, that the alien is able to shape Our destiny by shaping Our very thoughts. It is said:
watch your thoughts for they become your actions
watch your actions for they become your habits
watch your habits for they become your character
watch your character for it becomes your destiny
As it is individually, so it is collectively. For it is said that 'the actions of one generation become the history of the next generation. The actions of many generations become the traditions of a people.' Afrikans in general and Diasporan Afrikans in particular have endeavored to re-conceptualize the world through language. Oftentimes, lacking other options, through the language forced upon US. However, it is said, 'the dog does not prefer bones to meat, it is just that no one ever gives him meat.' WE are the long awaited hunters. 'You are the slave of the one whose handcuffs are on your wrists,' WE are the long awaited liberators. WE, entrusted by Our ancestors. WE, the guardians of Our languages, hold the key to re-conceptualizing reality for the best interests of Afrikans throughout the world, Continental and Diasporan. That WE may speak Our reality into the future; that WE may shape the destiny of Our children, of Our children’s children, of Our children’s children’s children, and for the still more beautyful ones yet to be born."
