We start with him this week and will continue looking at him and other African rulers of myth and legend for the rest of March.

Sundiata is to Mali’s Manding people what Arthur of Camelot is to the British. His legend is rich in archetypal symbols and he is one of the continent’s embodiments of a courageous hero who became a beloved ruler.

New episode tomorrow!

I will also use some truly unsavory figures from African legend to discuss why it’s important (potentially lifesaving even) for a people to lean into the shadow of their collective stories. It will be an interesting year so don’t miss out!
With a beloved Black/African actress potentially being cast in the role of a traditionally non Black/African character in Greek mythology, I will have opinions if this actually happens.
We’ll examine the extant and potential philosophical and corresponding psychological, social and cultural implications of a selection of figures in African myths and folklore.
Hi friends! MA is back from break so regularly scheduled programming starts with the first podcast episode next Sunday, and the January reflection this month.
MA’s focus this year will be on the “mindscapes” of African myths and folklore (since we did landscapes last year).
Closing out 2025 with the final installment of the MA Essay series.
TL:DR Us Black/African must shake off the culture-wide aversion to vigorously challenging authority figures.
The average human in the modern context is largely cut off from deep and transformative relationships with land forms. But what does it mean to be in relationship with a land form? And what could this mean for us present-day Africans?

What's new on MA this week?
The first podcast episode from our reading of Ibrahim al Koni's "The Bleeding of the Stone".
Weekend Bonus: MA October-November recap and plan for what remains of the year.
We start this month's series by revisiting a previous MA episode based on another al Koni book (The Animists), in which he introduces two characters who feature prominently in his work: the Sahara desert and her faithful companion, the Sun.
