- Greetings! Welcome to another episode of Powered by Nyame. This week at PBN, we focus on unity, or the root challenges in achieving unity, if that is goal at all. I offer three factors to consider when we talk about unity or the lack thereof, among peoples of African ancestry. Your feedback will form the basis for next week's episode on the same topic.

Brilliant analysis of the challenges of unity! Ready for part 2!
Thanks!
@@poweredbynyame you’re welcome 🙏🏾
i like your teachings…
Much appreciated. Stay well.
GREETINGS BABA!!!
Greetings! Hope all is well-or, it’s getting there.
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
I am interested in your solution. Understanding the complexities, there has to be a way to advance our goals. YT has on many occasions distributed the “unity” established by various groups of black folks. Tulsa is an example, Greenville is another. When we have demonstrated unity. It’s disturbed by the power dynamic. When we have sought to be left alone and not engage here comes white folks creating disunity. FBI CIA the US military all create disruptions to meet their agenda of world domination. Why does a country like Africa has to import their food! Why does Jamaica import its Bananas to England? Etc
I am also interested in solutions or at least resolutions--that is, a firm decision to do something. Either cannot come from one person. But let me say this, for now. Complexities cannot be solved, but worked through and worked on. If maroon societies in the Americas can fight a war against European empires/colonists while building community and culture on the run, certainly we can better, right?
Great video, the way you present your information in your in videos is impeccable, clear and easily understandable. I wish you would do videos everyday or longer videos. Have you thought of doing a live Q and A Dr. Konadu?
Greetings! Thank you for the kind words. I'm not sure about longer videos due to lesser and lesser attention spans--for adults and children--and I don't know if I am that creative to have an original topic or at least an original approach to a topic everyday. But I hear you and will try to find a sweet spot, given my family and other commitments. I'd love to do a Q and A--this is actually one of several membership perks--and so if a few or more people are interested, I am set aside some time on Wednesdays.
Greetings, meda wo ase for the conversation. Regarding complexion, there has also been a misreading of indigenous Afrikans of a lighter hue as having Eurasian ancestry due to colonialism and captivity but they didn't such as the Igbo, who were often called Red Eboe in Jamaica. Same has played out with the Khoi San in South Africa being labeled "coloured" although they're indigenous Afrikans. Note, W.E.B. DuBois pronounced his last name duːˈbɔɪz, he did not like the pronunciation duːˈbwa.
Mekyea wo. Nnase.
Indigeneity has nothing to do with complexion. Being indigenous or autochthonous is a claim or argument to land and being "first" on said land, while in Africa's vast ecologies and for the last 7 million years (date of the earliest fossil in West Africa) humans there have varied in skin complexion, seasoned like a stew, by the factors of climate, altitude, rainfall, vegetation, movement (forced or willfully), etc. These factors which "baked" African peoples over that vast geography and deep history has very little to do with colonialism or enslavement. I understand we can only or mostly grasp what is near to us in historical, but from a deep history approach skin complexion, though a less significant feature, was part of the practice called survival and, more feasible, thriving. You see we are all mutations; there are no pure or unchanging genes, including those coded for skin complexion.
*DuBois is a French name and that is how it is pronounced in French, the language of origin. In English, the language of adoption, it is pronounced the way you suggested.
