What connects us? In a time of global disarray, what holds us and heals us? What is/are our center(s)? With the world’s moral compass in embers, what are our values? Given the expression binges of the 21st century (era of unending posts, articles, books, podcasts), what positions are considered contrarian? What narratives constitute the “right side of history”?

* recorded on 23-07-23 during a live event held at Jambo Spaces (Accra)  What does our highest self look/feel like?  How is this state attained and maintained?  How do we create magic in a crisis?  How do bodies/communities used as weapons of destruction clap back?  How do we make 'boss' moves on minimal capital?  With BRICS and the shifting geopolitical landscape, what is the role/place of the Artist? The African Artist? The Young African Artist?  What do we do when we are not sure what we will do/be next? How do we make the best out of 'waiting' periods?  What are our thoughts on ethical Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) versus the dangers?  What lessons/secrets from Ancestral wisdom may we tap into to be the best versions of ourselves today?  How do we design and maintain a life off-the-grid? Is this sustainable? Is this the 'way'? What are our thoughts on the digital economy? Which highlight of our lives would we stream the most?  +++ Hosts - Elom 20ce + Crystal Tettey + Apiorkor   Production - Jambo Spaces   Executive Producer - Crystal Tettey Doing #fuschia in 2023
