Meet Jabari Zakiya, a seasoned engineer whose journey spans from the hallowed halls of Cornell to the innovative corridors of Georgia Tech, and even the celestial realms of NASA. Hailing from the vibrant streets of Washington, D.C. in 1955, Jabari's passion for engineering was ignited early on. However, his path took an unexpected turn when he found himself entangled in a legal battle, wrongfully accused of tax evasion. Refusing to succumb to injustice, Jabari adamantly maintained his innocence, drawing inspiration from a diverse array of literature. From Erwin Shift's "How Anyone Can Stop Paying Income Tax" to George Schuyler's "Black Empire," each page turned fueled his resolve to challenge the status quo. As he navigated through legal complexities, Jabari delved into provocative works such as Sam Greenlee's "The Spook Who Sat Next to the Door" and Benson's "The Law That Never Was," seeking insights into the intricacies of governance and power dynamics. Yet, his intellectual pursuits extended beyond the realm of literature. Engaging in spirited discussions with peers, Jabari explored concepts of home rule, taxation without representation, and the enduring legacy of slavery. Drawing parallels between ancient Kmt and contemporary society, he contemplated the evolution of societal structures and the role of individuals within them. Amidst these discussions, Jabari's passion for mathematics shone brightly, particularly in his fascination with the twin primes conjecture. As he grappled with complex equations, he found solace in the beauty of numerical patterns, transcending the confines of his circumstances. Through it all, Jabari's unwavering commitment to justice and intellectual exploration serves as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. In his quest for truth and understanding, he embodies the essence of perseverance and intellectual curiosity, inspiring those around him to challenge convention and embrace the pursuit of knowledge.

This podcast is based on the historical interaction between Native American and African-American communities, exemplified by events like the "Desire" ship's arrival and the Pequot Massacre aftermath. Through analysis and personal narratives, such as those shared in this episode featuring Granny Gladys, we can bring attention to hidden histories, confront systemic injustices, and work towards solidarity. This episode explores how division within these communities, perpetuated by racial classification and lateral violence, has deepened psychological trauma and hindered communal unity. It also delves into the impact of cultural erasure, exemplified by paper genocide, and its role in shaping a new social construct to subjugate marginalized groups. Division within Communities: Carl Linnaeus's racial classification system, initiated in 1735, contributed to the internal division within both Native American and African-American communities. By categorizing individuals based on physical traits, this system entrenched stereotypes and fueled self-identity issues, perpetuating self-destructive behavior and inter-community conflicts. In African-American corporate culture, the Willie Lynch Theory exacerbates competition and lateral violence, perpetuating inequality and hindering collective progress. Similarly, within Native American communities, stereotypes perpetuated by European colonization have led to internal divisions, with individuals aligning themselves with either the "good Indian" or "bad Indian" stereotypes. This tribalism fosters inequality, with those fitting the "good Indian" stereotype gaining access to resources and opportunities while those labeled as "bad Indians" face exclusion and marginalization. Paper Genocide and Cultural Erasure: Paper genocide, a tool of the racial power structure, aims to erase heritage and history to create a new social construct. This process, evident in historical assimilation efforts and the systematic removal of Indigenous and African identities, perpetuates confusion and indoctrination, further subjugating marginalized groups.

In this episode of The Black Man’s Island, the podcast delves into San Andres, where a local business owner shares insights into the island's history and its predominantly Afro Colombian population under Colombian rule.

Learn from a local Vietnamese farmer about his daily organic practices of farming and how he integrates smart technology. Organic agriculture practices in Vietnam have been steadily increasing over the past few decades. Organic farming is popular among small-scale farmers, who account for 90% of agricultural production in Vietnam (Hanh & Karantininis, 2019). Organic farming is also common in rural areas, where farmers have limited access to chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Organic farming in Vietnam is regulated by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) and the Vietnam Organic Agriculture Association (VOAA). MARD has developed a set of standards for organic farming, which include the use of organic fertilizers, crop rotation, and the prohibition of synthetic pesticides and genetically modified organisms (GMOs) (Hanh & Karantininis, 2019). Smart technologies can enhance the productivity and efficiency of organic farming in Vietnam. The use of sensors, drones, and precision agriculture can help farmers monitor soil moisture, temperature, and nutrient levels in real-time (Nguyen, Vo, & Nguyen, 2020). These technologies can help farmers optimize crop yield, reduce water consumption, and minimize the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Smart technologies can also improve food safety and traceability by enabling farmers to track the production and distribution of their crops (Nguyen, Vo, & Nguyen, 2020).

The Taliban, a Sunni Islamic fundamentalist and predominantly Pashtun movement, controlled most of Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001. In October 2001, U.S. and allied forces invaded the country and quickly ousted the Taliban regime following its refusal to hand over terrorist leader Osama bin Laden in the wake of al-Qaeda’s 9/11 attacks. In February 2020, the U.S. government and the Taliban signed a peace deal, the so-called Doha Agreement, that set a timeline for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan. Under the agreement, the United States pledged to draw down U.S. troops to approximately 8,500 within 135 days and complete a full withdrawal within fourteen months. In return, the Taliban pledged to prevent territory under its control from being used by terrorist groups and to enter into negotiations with the Afghan government. In April 2021, U.S. President Joe Biden announced that U.S. military forces would leave Afghanistan by September 2021. The summer of 2021, the Taliban continued its offensive, threatening government-controlled urban areas and seizing several border crossings. In early August, the Taliban began direct assaults on multiple urban areas, including Kandahar in the south and Herat in the west. The takeover threatens to reverse advances made in securing the rights of women and girls, many of which have already been significantly eroded. • In this podcast, we have Siamoy E. join us, an Afghan scholar majoring in management and international relations.

This episode covers an ethnolinguistic analysis of the Tamazight language with Najlae, an AUI student from Khenifra, located in the Atlas Mountains, whom frequently migrates to France. Najlae is a Amazigh student studying at Al Akhawayn University with a focus in Business Administration. We explore the historical context of multilingualism in Morocco and its influence on the Amazigh culture with Najlae. Tamazight (i.e. Berber) indigenous languages are spoken by the inhabitants of Morocco and other parts of North Afraka before the Arab invasion. The Tamazight languages are considered to belong to the Hamito-Semitic group of languages. There are differing dialects of the Tamazight language including: Tashleheit is spoken in the south-west of Morocco, Ifni to the area of Agadir, Tamazight is spoken in an area of the Atlas mountains, stretching as far east as Taza; and the largest homogeneous group of Berber speakers is located in the north, in the Rif mountains, from which the Tarifit dialect gets its name. In this podcast, we focus on the Tamazight language and the complexity of language in Morocco.

Defining the concept of Afrocentricity The concept of Afrocentricity has been defined differently by various scholars. MK Asante defined Afrocentricity as a manner of thought and action in which the centrality of African interests, values, and perspectives predominate. He further stated that Afrocentricity is an exercise in knowledge and a new historical perspective. Another definition views Afrocentricity as an intellectual movement, a political view, and/or a historical evolution 2 MK Asante, Afrocentricity: The theory of social change (Chicago, Peoples Publishing Group, 2001), p. 3; JC Chukwuokolo, Afrocentrism or Eurocentrism: The dilemma of African development, New Journal of African Studies, 2009, p. 32. Asante is constantly acknowledged as the originator of the concept “Afrocentricity” and the one who introduced it as an academic concept. Other pioneers of the Afrocentric ideas include William Dubois, GGM James, Anta Diop, and Martin Bernal that stresses the culture and achievements of Africans. The other definition believes that Afrocentricity is a transformation of attitudes, beliefs, values, and behaviour results, suggesting that it is the first and only reality for African people – a simple rediscovery. Another definition stresses the centrality of Africans and defines Afrocentricity as meaning “African centeredness”, according to which Africans should be given their intellectual pride as the originators of civilization. What is common with these definitions is that they all call for a change in the way that the world has been viewed, a change that should encompass all attributes of human existence, with emphasis on the centrality of African experiences. As an academic exercise, Afrocentricity is defined in terms of the methodology, theory, and ideology that should be employed to achieve its objectives towards attaining the proposed change. Methodologically, Afrocentricity is intended as an answer to the intellectual colonialism that undergirds and serves to validate political and economic colonialism. In regards to theory, it places African people at the centre of any analysis of African phenomena in terms of action and behaviour. It is described as a devotion to the idea that what is in the best interest of African consciousness is at the heart of ethical behaviour and seeks to cherish the idea that “Africanness” itself is an ensemble of ethics.6 As an ideology it represents the continued longing among Africans for some set of ideas that would bind them together as a community and offer some alternative to an assimilation that is either excluded by Europeans or seen by Africans as an admission of inferiority and defeat. As an academic phenomenon, therefore, Afrocentricity serves the purpose of binding together the various elements of African and African-American studies, transforming them from an interdisciplinary assortment into a unified discipline, with ideological and intellectual goals, political purpose, and a set of commonly understood methods and theories.

This episode is filled with local interviews from Chefchauon where we learn more on the language, history and perspectives of the Moroccan and Berber people. In Amazigh society women have been considered one of the most important members in the North African countries. Women have played outstanding leadership roles including military leaders, spiritual mothers, and even more significantly as one of the Amazigh gods. Women in the parts of North Africa originally inhabited by Amazigh people (Berbers) were called “Tamghart” which is equivalent to the word “president” in English. The brother and sister concepts literally belong to the mother and not to the father. For example, Amazigh people say Ot-Mma (for Sister) or Og-Mma (for Brother) meaning she belongs to my mom or he belongs to my mom respectively. “[Dihya, the Amazigh knight who marked the history unlike any other woman, she rode horses and sought among the folk from the Aures to Tripoli, taking arms to defend her ancestral land.” - Ibn Khaldun book lessons Part VII, p. 11.

SEVICS is an organization dedicated to training and educating emerging leaders in Nigeria and across the continent. Leaders are necessary for every community. To survive, every society must create systems that groom the next generation of leaders. In most Afrakan countries, the largest system that grooms the next generation of leaders is the University System. That has not worked so well because that system is dominated by people who have not experienced the knowledge they share. Hence, it is a lot of theoretical learning out there. In contrast, the most successful people learned from individuals who have proven knowledge, and that leaves a gap that can only be filled by more deliberate efforts at practice-based, experiential learning opportunities like the Emerging Leaders Regional Program. The Emerging Leaders Regional Program is a training opportunity for young Africans who reside and wish to contribute to the greatness of their region. The program has two components: Training in designated regional centers, and Practice-based learning in host organizations. Training focuses on leadership, innovation, international-mindedness, and digital technologies. Trainings happen virtually or in a chosen site, typically a University Campus. Within a two weeks period, participants will be exposed to various mentors who will be on-site as well as those who can join virtually. Via a robust interaction, mentoring, and co-mentoring experience, the program will create a continuous learning platform for young professionals getting into and engaged in the African workspace. Practice-based learning will take place in host organizations which may be private businesses or nonprofits working within the region. They will absorb the participants into their workforce and assign important roles to them. This will assist them to contribute to the development of the organizations as well as learn about administration and leadership from the organizations. The overall goal of the project is to coordinate leadership and growth potentials within Africa for enhanced community development, civic engagement, tourism and entrepreneurship.
