Black self-identification → sxm Km “Black Power” → Abibifahodie “Black Liberation”

This convening is dedicated to disciplined civilizational building through self-definition, institution-building, mAat-based governance, defense against incursion, independent development, reconstruction of knowledge systems (sbAyt nt Kmtyw), and coordinated diaspora alignment—not merely discussion, but replicable models that can be deployed in communities.

Conference dates: Saturday 12 December – Sunday 13 December 2026
Location: Abibitumi, Akuapem Mampɔn, Eastern Region, Ghana (1 Abibitumi Way).
