Ayanmo Radio is a psycho-spiritual wellness podcast centering Africana studies dialogue, Africana spirituality, radical imagination, and world events. Each episode is an offering—bridging personal self-discovery with collective healing. Through storytelling, historical analysis, and spiritual wisdom, host 7souljah explores what it means to reconcile with ourselves, our pasts, and our purpose to bring us closer to liberation.
Black Americans, Diaspora Wars, and Historical Erasure
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-Africanism to cultural pride, we ask: Do people across the African diaspora truly recognize Black American culture as a continuity of African culture? Or are we losing the plot all together?

Sankofa, African Spirituality & Healing Through Community
In this episode, I reflect on:
•My personal return to African spirituality and why it matters
•The philosophy of Sankofa and what it really means to go back and get it
•How embodiment of spiritual practice is the antidote to global disembodiment
•The importance of community in the process of self-understanding
•Why reconciling historical trauma is vital for those of African descent

What are we leaving behind?
Our healing and spiritual practice is much bigger than the commercialization of self-care. Liberation is a spiritual pursuit, Healing is a spiritual pursuit. It is an act of resistance and rebellion to a system that seeks to traumatize us and distract us from the true reality of our world and our destinies.

What's Happening in Ukraine?
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.

Ancestors, Spirits, and God
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.

Naming and identification
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 African people all over the world. I think these imaginary borders have caused HUGE cognitive dissonance about who we are. WE ARE AFRICAN. TO BE BLACK IS TO BE AFRICAN. And our liberation is connected. Being CLEAR about identity and how we name ourselves is very important to how we align ideologically. Harriet Tubman was my case study at the end of this episode, let's talk.

How ancestral veneration changed my life w/ Aden Simone
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.

07:40 - 27:00 How did you get introduced to Ancestral veneration?

34:00-36:00 Do you think you can practice African Ancestral Veneration and not do shadow work? Move as if you're an ancestor.
36:00 -47:09 Valuing yourself, shadow work, and healing.

1:13:00-1:21:00 (Closing) How did you get over other people’s perceptions about what you practice? Witchcraft? What’s some advice you want to give diasporic Africans returning back to African spirituality/Ancestral Veneration?
1:21:00-1:33:30 (Closing) - How has this practice brought you closer to God and your highest self?
ENJOY!

Stop trying to be perfect
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.

What is time?
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 "work"? Make room to rest, cultivate peace, and be in alignment with your assignment - and sometimes that's sitting yo' ass down. The timing of your life is a process of co-creating with God (so it ain't always about you and “your time”). :P

Trust yourself
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 intuition, spirit, and mind again. This week we talk about why trusting yourself is important.

Our people die if we don't tell our stories!
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 speaking, stop telling our story— what will live on?
You never know how your story may transform someone. Your story, culture, or interest could make way for someone to unleash their gifts, release a burden, or transform an idea. Human connection is magical in that way. You give life and energy to experiences and ideas, and every time you speak. Share your story! Prose on about your people!

You are not a victim
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.
