Returning to the Motherland: One Scholar’s SankɔFa Journey Back to Ghana

The question of returning to Africa Ghana and the broader Motherland burns in the hearts of millions of Afrikan Diasporans worldwide. What pulls us back? What challenges meet us when we arrive? Most importantly, what does the path forward truly look like? These are not abstract questions. They are urgent, liberation-defining questions that demand honest, grounded answers from those who have lived the experience.

In this powerful 2017 panel discussion hosted by AAAG for Black History Month, Ɔbenfo Ọbádélé Bakari Kambon joins four other courageous panelists to speak truth about SankɔFa in action. Ruth Wade, Dr. Mjiba Frihiwot, Krista Sanders, and Bettina Boateng Afari each bring their own lived testimony. Together, they examine repatriation not as a romantic fantasy but as a disciplined, conscious choice rooted in Abibifahodie. Furthermore, Ɔbenfo Kambon anchors the discussion with scholarly precision and personal honesty — sharing his own journey through Ghana, including his time with CIEE across two transformative semesters.

Why Returning to Africa Ghana Is a SankɔFa Act of Liberation

SankɔFa teaches us that we must retrieve what was taken to move forward with power. Ɔbenfo Kambon’s presentation walks through his lived experience — semester by semester, adventure by adventure — on the ground in Ghana. He does not sugarcoat the challenges. However, he also refuses to diminish the profound outcomes that await those who make the journey. In addition, the 32-slide PowerPoint PDF accompanying this bundle gives you detailed visual context for every stage of his experience. This resource is not merely informative — it is instructional for anyone planning their own return.

This three-part video bundle runs nearly two hours of substantive, community-rooted dialogue. As a result, you walk away equipped — not just inspired. Abibitumi exists to give Afrikan people tools for real liberation, and this recording delivers exactly that. Whether you are a student, a parent, a scholar, or a community builder ready to act, this panel speaks directly to you. The Motherland is not waiting passively — she is calling actively. Answer that call. Watch the full panel discussion and download your copy of the lecture slides today.
