Identity, Religion, & Culture: This Amazing Diaspora Dialogue Will Blow Your Mind 

We finally hit 20K subs! Thanks everyone!

I can't be a Christian or Muslim after knowing the history of what it has done to my people

For me the stand out thinker on this panel who resonated with pan African ideology was the Ghanaian sista.

Oh Tim Tim Tim, Charley, u have done it again!! 😢😢😢 U made me cry, and still yelling at my screen, becos it felt like My "wear Ghana" younger sister, was taking all my words out of my brain. I've been trying to say her same words to the youth of Ghana forever, but the brainwash is so deep, and it frustrates me that, they don't really think or understand what I'm saying to them, to help them understand their futures and privilege!

It must begin with the social studies curriculum. It should be inclusive of pre-colonial, colonial and post colonial history. This should be taught from primary school across Africa.

I love this!!! God has spoken. It's time! For His Black people- The Apples of His Eyes to be liberated. Spirituality, Mentally, Emotionally, Pschycologically, Physically and Economically!!!

This young lady is a scholar and a deep thinker. She humanitarian of the highest spirit. We need more young people like her. They are there in Africa and in the diaspora. Let them speak, create and produce. These are our new leaders!! Arise❤❤❤

God is within you one energy we are all connected

Definitely need a part 2,3,4 etc!!

I so agree with the Ghanaian pastor regarding the definition of success. Success is not material things. Peace is success, a sound mind is success, having love is success. Having money or material things is NOT success. We as black people around the globe need to understand what is really true success and stop competing and comparing with one another. In the US some of the most miserable, spiritually and emotionally bankrupt people are society’s definition of success.

Wow really i am so excited to see this kind of conversation with my respectful people. Big respect guys

Excellent dialogue love my African Brothers and Sisters ASE 👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿❤️

THIS IS A POWERFUL CONVERSATION. truly enjoyed listening. We can't afford to remain separated and disconnected. Peace and love from Rockford, IL, USA 🤝🏿❤️

This interview is profound

Love it the lady ceo world ghana is an amazing speaker and knows the topic inside and out keep up the great work Tim

wow so interesting, im building in Cape Coast and i’ve learned so much about Ghana 🇬🇭 culture .

Tim, how I wish your bro Jay Cameron was there for this discussion. Thanks for creating this panel, and please bring back more. We desperately need to go back to basics, in order to fix this atrocity.

Tim this video is so touching. I’m one of your biggest fan by the way as I’m young like you, educated, black and powerful, but most importantly black excellence. What I have to say is that I am an Asante, I was born in Ghana and left African shores when I was 8 years old to live in the UK with my whole family. I’m now a qualified lawyer, now 40 years old, I’ve not forgotten my African self. I’ve invested back home as much as I can. I did my DNA 🧬 and realised that I’m only 50% Ghanaian, I’m literally West Africa from Mali, Ivory Coast, Togo, Benin, Nigeria. Most importantly, I have traced my ancestors to the Americas and I have cousins as close as 5th-8th cousins who are African Americans and Carribean people whom obviously do not know me and probably never will. We are the same people, so we should just love ourselves.

Afrikan is the essence of humanity, the first and the original chosen by YAH, it is Ubuntu we are in existence because of who you are.

Very informative and very inspiring , very intelligent . 🙏🙏🙏.

It's beautiful that we are having this dialog. It's a sign that we have entered a new season. 9/10th (if not 10/10th) of the planet as we know it, has been colonized. For this to have happened the process of colonizing the mind and affecting our spirit, co-opting the land and resources has thrown all of us off balance. So in this season of awakening, the dichotomy of say the descendants of African's in America for centuries under the colonizers and our present day Africans on the continent under the colonizers will naturally have conflict, disparities that needs to go through the process of uncolonizing the mind, spirit and just as importantly the land. All entities are connected, one. In my opinion we must be in the mindset and spirit of being patient with one another. The colonizer were successful in their mission in part because they had patience. It was over generation and generation they achieved this feat. Let's stay uplifted family Knowing that we will come back into balance and Harmony. The nature of all things, of love and good and strength are who we are and on our side. This is the nature in which the planet and the universe is created. All Thanks and Praises are due to The Most High. from the author of the book: TRYIN TIMES from the Pyramids to the Projects

Awesome conversation Tim to see all these brilliant young black men and women it amazes me great to watch thanks ALLUTA CONTINUAL

This is a significant interview and interaction very much needed. Next time I would love to see more Africanic diversity represented: -Jamaican Black 🇯🇲 - Haitian Black 🇭🇹 - Candian Black🇨🇦 - American Black🇺🇲 - Britian Black🇬🇧 - Nigarian Black🇳🇬 - Cuban Black 🇨🇺 - Chinese Black 🇨🇳 - Japanese Black 🎴 - Russian Black 🇷🇺 🌎21st century Pan-African panels are too important

Real talk! This conversation was very deep. There has to be a part 2.

This is a great conversation! Literally felt like a citizen of Africa for a moment, hearing the different perspectives and contrasting that with our value on the world stage.

Powerful conversation, I wished you had the conversation longer.

Change does belong with the individual, however there must be a framework within which to examine the false values that keeps us powerless. I believe that a complete redesign of the school's curriculum is the first step.

Ghanaian Sister is deep! Please hug her for me! She needs not carry that burden. We sold into slavery hold no grudges, thats why we are returning. We are returning with knowledge to ADD to Africa. We have intimate knowledge of the West and its pitfalls. I have been to Ghana 2x and absolutely LOVE Ghana and Ghanaians. I have been made to feel welcome in Ghana.

I am falling in love with that Ghanaian sister. She is not only very beautiful in appearance, but more so in her spirit. She is absolutely on point, that we have to get rid of that Bible. It is very corrupted. I would just say that god is nature. That is African.

So Proud to be of the African diaspora!

Feeling unmotivated and uninspired can deplete your life of happiness and meaning, but it’s all about perspective, right? There’s so much joy in the world, and if you need a little help in thinking positively, these happy, positive conversations from great minds people like you all will inspire joy and hope to many of us. I came across this video. It was very educational, powerful 👏🏿 🙌🏿 All praise TMHY.

Very good conversation

OUR education by parents and guardians is of the highest importance. My mother raised me & my siblings to know WE were Kings & Queens. We learned the Greeks, Roman's & others came to AFRICA to LEARN from AFRICANS IN AFRICA. It didn't make the journey easy BUT my siblings walked a journey where WE were already enlightened. That enlightenment served as a buffer where no one else could define US.

We have to also leave religion behind! Spirituality has nothing to do with religion that’s also apart of the illusion

Thank you, my Ghanian sister. That was honest and brave to identify how the healing process has to begin. African-Americans are trying to find our way, so those on the continent must take the lead.

Wow! My Ghanaian sister is so wise, despite her youth. Kudos to you, Tim, and your very intelligent panel.

Mr Swain , what a panel , what a conversation . It is as inspiring as it is educational . You are going big Bro . Oprah Winfrey has to watch out for you . Good job . Good job . This is outstanding .

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ & may God the Creator bless,protect,Guide heal and Harmonize this Continent and its Citizens to be a One Big Family in your Name & may the Miracles happen 🙏🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍

Excellent conversation, thanks to you Tim and your guests. Look forward to part 2.

Am a Pan-Africanist come day or night. Pamoja milele!

Thank you Tim for this pan African conversation and congrats for 20k subs. Road to 25k 💪💪

Tim, I have been a fan of your program since I first saw you live in Ghana and heard your last name... There was a wonderful sister that we attended the same church with who shared your last name. This is great information on a broad topic that could be expanded much farther and I hope it will be a continuation of this subject.

Hey Tim, Thank you for having this very intellectual, very powerful, all-encompassing Pan African discussion.

My God, the young fashion designer is so brilliant and beautiful ❤ She is impressive! Great program!!!

Once again, thank you Tim for the spaces and platforms you are creating for us to go deep within to reflect and find our truths. Being on this panel was a great opportunity. Thank you!

We need to share the birthright information and studies to our children.

Thanks for sharing this exciting conversation.

Great conversation! We need these conversations on a more regular basis !

Amazing conversation,, Africa is one and indivisible 💪🏿🇨🇲

last text lets hope we all have a better clear understanding of what it really means to be and practice Pan Africanism! In the process we will eventually discover there will be a price to pay to deal with corrupted African leaders and military throughout the continent that will some times rise up against the people to help keep those in power to continue their greed! The more those of us come from the outside in will demand more change😢❤😢❤!!!!!!!! Africa is not ready for radical Pan Africans from America! Will the gun be allowed! Frederick Douglas said it freedom and justice is not given but taken! 😢❤😢❤

Hello, this was amazing. I'm interested in this topic, I'd love to be on the panel next time

I am Nigerian and African because i am defined by culture and tradition

Very informative. Thanks for having the conversation!!!

Tim thank you; for such an educational content. Your panel had an amazing individual contribution and I hope you really bring part 2 of this please 🙏🏾 change is here ✊🏾

They did it through the acceptance of European Religious world view.

Tim, I'm expecting an explosion in a magnitude that you may not have been expecting, I'm perceiving that professors' historians, economists, sociologists, sociopolitical scientists, socioeconomic scientists, etc, etc, they are squirming in their seats, there's no end to this hot topic, and I am happy you started off with the lay person, the grassroots perspectives, before the big guns starts reaching out to you. Love the backdrop on point.

I enjoy watching your videos, I live at 🇺🇸, I will pay visit when I come to Ghana , I’m one of your subscribers for long ❤🙏🏾

This was such an excellent intellectual conversation! 🙌🏿

To answer the question at the end “What can you do as an African or Diasporan to enlighten or empower yourself?” Constantly educate yourself and raise your consciousness. Watch videos, read books, seek knowledge, ask questions, be curious and learn. Don’t be satisfied with what you know now always learn more. Be open minded. Learn about all the different tribes within Africa and not just your own tribe. Learn about Black history. Learn another language. Learning is never ending.

Great Dialogue! enjoyed the info!

Thank you so much for the discussion.

The Bond of 1844 was when the Fante chiefs went into a Protectorate with the British. That was the official start of colonialism in Ghana. It was signed on August 4th.

I like the door design. I like what I see in the art. Wow!

This conversation was better than I thought it would be. Such an intelligent panel. Thank you!

Tim, the topic of reparations is a bit touchy for me. My point is for those African Americans and Carribeans who say they are not African. Those people should not by shouting about reparations. I say this because if you’re saying your not African then obviously you were not taken from there and therefore not part of the transatlantic slave trade.

Wao , you guys are all phenomenally amazing.

Beautiful conversation

To be an african means trinity or having 3 layers. A black people have (black skin, brown skin and white skin) That means a black capable of black, white and brown. Been an african means you born superior of all the race. Been african is the root and without a root, no other race will survive. Know who you are. African is a creator and a lion.

Great conversation

i spent 14 years in Nigeria. I functioned in my profession, physical planning, throughout the country. I find that approach, to be there to contribute objectively to the development of the country, made my acceptance easier. Some understanding of the languages and customs also helped. Among my friends, we did not have a lot of discussions about African History (it wasn't taught then) or politics (banned for many of my years there), although we did discuss government. I enjoyed this video because I missed out on the idealism of returning to the Homeland

"You sold them"😢 Tim, I do understand the position of the Ghanaian lady but to make such a blanket statement of Africans' complicity in the slave trade is most unfortunate! The true history and facts betray that position. When you have just about one percent of so-called African slave sellers, it is dangerous to create the impression that all Africans were just selling each other into slavery. That also undermines the numerous wars and resistance our ancestors put up against the slavery enterprise. It's almost akin to entirely blaming the Jews for the Holocaust because Hitler's security capos used to oppress the Jews were actually Jews themselves; we hardly hear that argument, dont we? What we need to note is that, the slavery was a complex enterprise that had no benefit whatsoever to any group of Africans compared to the actual enslavers and that's a fact! One thing we all have yet to explore is the fact that Africans at home are yet to also have a closure from the trauma slave trade brought home. Great conversation all in all...let it continue!!!

Wow team very very power discussion! Thank you 🙏🏾 my brother!

excellent conversation! We need more of this

I love that I wandered upon this discussion. I appreciated everyone’s voice, input and commitment to our African presence and ways we can continue to elevate our actions in our lives and our communities.🙏🏾👊🏽

Powerful conversation,we need a part 2

Crazy good!!!!

more than once i noticed that the conversation was edited, i enjoyed the video but i keep wondering what was removed and why?

This was a great video I didn’t want it to end. I can’t wait for part 2. ❤

Wow , am speechless

✊🏾✊🏾 Dope Tim!!! 👏🏾👏🏾

Fantastic discussion

This was deep. If your are a black African, you must read Deuteronomy 28. Start with verse 30

Great show and I love your shirts where do you get them from?

This was a great listen. Would love to see a follow up to this in some sort. I think the discussions about religion and creating a “paradise” in Africa are particularly fascinating. Much love from the USA. Keep up the great work, Tim ✊🏾

Great conversation! I don’t think I’ve heard conversations anything like this to date! Great job Tim and the last question you gave was 🔥. What can i do today!?! Great question and great answers!

Well Done and Thanks Tim for doing this

Awesome conversation.

Love this conversation, I get it, I’m ready to go back to Africa

Interesting.

Tim. I loved this. First, where are you? Is this library bookstore accessible to the public? 2. I shared this with 3. people before I finished this and thinking about sharing this with some more. 4. This opens the door not only on who we are as a group but also on introspection of our individual self. How messed up we are with are thinking. Why can't we seem to get on board and fix something s for ourselves? I'm speaking in terms of small things? And stick to it? This was excellent. I hope to see more of this. Nit just talk but action. Just thought of four more people to send this to. We are human beings. ♥️

thank u very much I have been watching your program it's amazing 👏 I have learned from u!change is coming stating with u what me ,I'm the change your the change

Great video! We can't sit around waiting for our oppressors to teach us our history to us. We have to teach ourselves and our children. We owe it to ourselves and the future generations. I really enjoyed the 2 younger people's thoughts. I agree with both of what they were saying 100% We need more people like them to speak up and make changes.

This was a worthwhile watch. I liked your panel. Sometimes I think that African people can be too grounded in a romantic past. Africans may have some common affinity but often there persists tribal divisions and a greed for what the West (or East) offers. I did not hear any talk of deliberate outreach for trade with the diaspora. Making it less costly for example. Tim, you should consider a Zoom sign-up meeting with the diaspora. In order to facilitate discussion, you may have to limit attendance and set some ground rules...

As a CHRIST follower I would like to get in touch and learn more about The Faith from Afrika because I knew all along the bible in the states was rewrite but I could not get proof of it now you guys are discussing it I'd like to know more if possible. Please let me know how to get in touch. Thank you.

I watched on U tube the other day you you did good God bless you 😅

Can you touch on Traditional African Religions, on part two?

Great dialouge!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and videos, who say America is for White people, wrong, America is for everyone, a place to educate yourself, and willing to work and build a life, I born in the Caribbean, and I did well, everyone on the panel is talking for themselves,

Unconsciousness and consciousness become more conscious

Does anyone know the setting of this … a library? Does anyone know who the man is (white hair) in the picture that is on the shelf directly above and slightly to the right of Tim’s head?
