[Asase Ba Theme Music]
Michelle
Hello, and welcome to Asase Ba, a podcast that honours oral tradition and shines light on Ghanaian stories that are often untold or silenced. I'm your host, Michelle, and my pronouns are she and her.
Hi, everyone. Welcome to the season finale of Asase Ba. Season Three. Wow. Okay. I am so proud of the season, the way that this show has grown and evolved. And the way that this season came together in terms of the different topics that were covered and discussed. I'm so proud.
As I mentioned in earlier episodes, I'm just happy that I showed more of myself, whether it's talking about myself as I did in episode one, or focusing on a specific topic and doing solo episodes. I'm so proud of that And also just the amazing guests that I had for this season. They were so passionate, knowledgeable, and I just had such a great time interviewing them.
So this is the season finale of season three and I'm leaving this season with good vibes. I genuinely enjoyed this season. It was awesome and it's been nice seeing the show grow and seeing the support that the show has had, especially this season. And I'm looking forward to seeing that more as the show evolves.
And speaking of support, I want to thank everyone who has been sharing this podcast this season, retweeting, sharing episode links, commenting on it, whether it's Instagram or Twitter. I thank everyone so much and I also want to thank the people that have donated to the show.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I really, appreciate your support. So there are two ways to support Asase Ba. The first way, as I mentioned before, is sharing the podcast.

Supporting LGBTQIA+ People in Ghana
This is the season finale, the season three finale of Asase Ba. So before I get into this episode, I wanted to touch on something I discussed in season three, episode three. If you go back and listen to that episode, I did a spotlight on what's going on in Ghana, in terms of the anti-LGBTQIA bill that's been proposed by a group of MPs.
The bill has been proposed so it has not been passed. And it's not law, right, it's proposed. So the bill is called The Promotion of Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill. It's a very, very dangerous bill, that would make being LGBTQIA or an ally illegal with up to 10 years in prison. It's horrendous, I read it and it's horrible.
It goes against people's human rights and it demands intersex people to undergo sexual reassignment surgery and also gay people to undergo conversion therapy. This bill is terrible and it infringes on the rights and the agency of LGBTQIA people. To learn more about the bill and the things that I discussed surrounding the bill, go and listen to season three, episode three.
And do your research as well and read the articles that I linked in the show notes to learn more. So I'm talking about this, again, because it's important and people need to pay attention. And specifically here in Canada, people in solidarity with queer Ghanaians back home, have written an open letter to admonish this horrendous bill. And people have called on the Ghana president and consulate general in Canada to make clear that the bill is harmful, and opposed to the human rights of queer Ghanaians.
So I've added the link to this open letter, which you can sign to show your support of LGBTQIA people in Ghana. I've left the link in the show notes. And for more information on this open letter and the actions being taken in Toronto to stand in solidarity with queer people in Ghana, you can visit @queers4ghana on Instagram. Queers 4 Ghana is a collective of queer Ghanaians and allies in Toronto. The link to the open letter as well as to the Instagram page for @queers4ghana will be in the show notes.
We really need to support LGBTQIA folks in Ghana and show that we stand by them, demonstrate our solidarity as Ghanaians in the diaspora, because we have certain privileges, especially people that are citizens or residents here. We have certain privileges that queer folks in Ghana don't have.
So we really need to use those privileges to voice our opposition to the bill, and also show that we're not going to stand for this horrible, disgusting, hateful bill. And that we care and we see what these hateful groups are trying to do. I encourage people to do their research and just learn and read about what's going on in Ghana, and how this bill gravely affect queer people living in Ghana and queer Ghanaian citizens as well.
Afrofuturist Vision: Imagining Alternate Worlds
Okay, let's dive into today's episode.
So today I'm talking about visions of the future from my imagination as a Ghanaian, as a cultural worker, as someone who wants a better future, sees that we have the potential to transform the world into a better place. So it's from my imagination, my vision, and later on, you'll hear from a couple of Ghanaians on their imagination of the future, their vision of the future. So I'm going to start with mine.
As I mentioned in season three, episode one, where I talked more about myself and my interests and desires and values and beliefs, I'm a creative person. And with creativity, you need a lot of imagination. And I'm someone that's always been very imaginative. I love brainstorming ideas, thinking of new things, new ways of doing things.
And I love me some Afrofuturism, you know? The aesthetics. And it's not only an aesthetic thing, it's a concept, an idea. Afrofuturism is basically imagining ourselves as people of African descent, in the future, and it just kind of gives us the opportunity to rethink how we can exist and live freely in the world.
So I tweeted a few months ago on the Asase Ba—not even a few months ago, several months ago, probably in the spring or something—I tweeted on the Asase Ba Twitter page: What does it look like to use our imaginations, to brainstorm new ideas and possibilities, alternate worlds and realities, in collaboration with each other?
And that's kind of the thing that I think about a lot and something that I want to see more of— us collaborating and discussing our ideas with our communities and people we trust. I want to think and talk about our visions of the future as Ghanaians in Ghana, and Ghanaians in the diaspora, because thinking, imagination, imagining, brainstorming, it personally gives me hope.
When you have hope, and when you can imagine something different, It fuels you in a way because it's like, this work, and all that stuff we're doing is not all in vain. The world can truly change, you know what I mean? And I feel like it's good for me to know that and see that and imagine that so that I can just keep going on in the world.
Because we know that this current system doesn't work, and we need change. So brainstorming, getting into my creative bag, using my imagination, It's good for me. It's really, really good. And I love seeing people discuss these things whether it's through art, music, film, books, etc. That's why I love this kind of stuff. I truly believe that creativity, imagination and brainstorming can truly transform society.
And doing all this just makes me think, alternatively, beyond what I can currently see, hear or touch, which is very important to me and my well-being. And I wrote about this—about my imagination, my afrofuturist vision—several years ago, about three years ago. And I went back and read what I wrote, and a lot of these things still stand true. Now, I would probably be a bit more specific, but the general idea, the general concepts still ring true to me. So I'm going to talk about that a bit right now.
So in my afrofuturist world, in my vision of the future, self-care is a standard. We prioritize looking after our well-being, whether emotional, mental, physical, and we have space to be able to do so. We have the resources to be able to do so. And self-care for me, leads to being more intentional about building community and community care.
Once we care for ourselves and make sure that we are good, there's this newfound energy to really explore ourselves and build intentional communities. And I want to highlight that we have the resources to do so because I feel like that's often the barrier. In this society that we live in, we often don't have the resources, or the structure that we live in makes it difficult to really pour into and care about our well-being emotionally, mentally and physically as well.
So this then leads to us building intentional and active relationships, intentional communities, based on a foundation of trust, communication, respect, love, compassion, reciprocity, accountability, and reflection. I've talked about intentional communities on season three, episode one, so you can go back and check that out.
Because we build intentional communities, we are also then able to understand that the way we move forward, and grow and evolve in those communities is also doing self-reflection and looking at ourselves and how we can be better etc. And then the way we also pour into these communities is by doing better for ourselves, and this is done through state communal resources. So it's like a relationship, they affect one another.
And also within my afrofuturist vision that I wrote about several years ago, that I still very much align with today, we have room to express and talk about our rage, anger and vulnerability, without fear of judgment. I know often, there's this fear of being angry, talking about things that make us vulnerable, because of potential consequences of doing so.
And we've seen that there are consequences in some cases of doing so. So in my vision, there's space and room to do that. So I just think that's so important for growth, and for new insights and learning.
In this imagination, in this new world, we make room for our forebears, our ancestors, recognize their contributions, and hold space for their wisdom. So I'm someone that believes in ancestral veneration, and acknowledging and honouring our ancestors and the knowledge, and the gifts, and everything that they've provided us.
And regularly communicating with them to ensure that we have the messages, we have the key, we have the tools to move forward in this life and to truly live this life.
In my afrofuturist vision, we understand the transient nature of self. We're not static beings. We're human, we continuously grow and evolve. And in this world, we all really understand that. We understand that about ourselves. And we understand that about each other. And we don't punish that. In this reimagination of the world, we're not confined by binary constructions of humanity, which leaves little room for exploration. Gone with rigidity that is harmful.
Because we see that in this world and society, a lot of people and the state, in general, push this kind of acceptable mode of being. And it's very binary and rigid, and there's no room to be "other", express yourself in alternate ways that are not deemed acceptable by society. And in this reimagination, in my vision of the future, we're able to explore because we understand that humanity is not rigid. And there's so many nuances and layers to ourselves and that's accepted, you know what I mean?
We're not held to this kind of strict status quo, where you're expected to align with certain societal norms and beliefs. We accept complexity in my vision of the future and we dismantle harmful ideologies that are made to seem natural or normal.
And these harmful ideologies in regards to sexuality, gender, modes of being, even the way that we interact with each other, capitalism, all of those kinds of isms that really stifle us and really make living in society difficult when you're not aligned with everything that society says you should be.
And in this afrofuturist vision, my vision of the future, it's not about replicating today's society. As people of African descent, as Ghanaians, etc, it's not about replicating today's society and putting ourselves in the role of oppressors, because I know that's what a lot of people...lowkey, they don't really want liberation like that, they just want what the white man's got. They just want to replace people that are at the top. That's what some people want low key and actually high key.
And I know it's because oftentimes, feeling this anger because we're constantly feeling the effects and living the effects of this society, it's like "I want to fight this because then I can't wait till I am in this position, and then I can enact all the violence that these people at the top enacted towards me on to other people."
And then it becomes this kind of shift of power dynamics where all the anger and the hurt and the pain that we deal with, that we feel, is then shifted onto people that are less privileged than us. And that's not right. I really believe in just creating a new world and liberation for all, and not just replicating today's society and just putting us as the oppressors. I don't believe in that.
So yeah, this is my vision of the future, which I wrote several years ago, and I still align with these visions. And it might change down the line, it might get more specific in certain ways. So now I want to talk about the stuff that I often discuss on the podcast or the stuff that is kind of the central theme of the podcast. So in regards to oral tradition, cultural work, queer identities, I also have visions of the future. And I want to get into that as well.
Future Vision of Ghanaian Oral Tradition
So let's start with oral tradition. In the future, I really believe that—and I know that a lot of people are doing this as well—digitizing our oral history. We live in a digital age. I mean, that exists in some ways, music, for instance, is an example of our oral tradition. If you listen to some highlife music, you'll hear a lot about our cultures and traditions and all that kind of stuff. And music today as well embodies that.
So in that way, we do have that. But I also want to extend that and record our oral histories. And that's what I do with this podcast, right? I use this podcast as a medium to document and preserve our different stories, experiences, etc. And I just want more of that digitization of our oral history or oral stories. I even imagine how we can use technology for that.
How can we use virtual reality or augmented reality to make these stories come to life, make them engaging, bring them to the future, bring them to the present? In this oral tradition, I also think about merging oral history and the written word, writing down our oral history so it's more accessible. We can use it as research, resources.
Speaking of research and resources, looking at oral history as a valid source of research. In this vision, we don't only have to go to academic sources. A lot of them are not even accessible. So in this vision, we don't have to just go to academic sources to study things about ourselves and our cultures.
We have oral history as a valid form of research and we can use that to learn more. And because it's also written, it's more accessible. I imagine having directories, repositories of oral histories. There are some that exist. I want more, I want it to become a norm. Where we can just go on a website, multiple websites and look up something and everything is archived, organized.
And we can just look something up and use that as research to write our blog posts, to inform our YouTube videos, to even inform research that we're doing, or just for ourselves, to be more knowledgeable, about things that we're interested in.
And also in this vision of the future in regards to oral tradition, I want us to look at folktales proverbs, music. I know a lot of us don't play about music, so I want us to look at all those as valid forms of oral history because they are.
Future Vision of Ghanaian Cultural Work
In regards to cultural work, that's one of the central themes of this show. This show is a product of my cultural work. And it's also inspired by a lot of the cultural work that I see by griots, storytellers, archivists, curators. So you know Asase Ba, I don't play about cultural work. I shout out cultural workers at least once a month. Go on @AsaseBaPod on Twitter, Instagram, etc.
But in my vision of the future, there's more funding for work on Ghanaians in Canada and Ghanaian Canadians. And I know some people are already doing this work to discuss and document things about Ghanaian Canadians. But I feel like we need more support and we need funding, money outside of academia, to be able to continue with this work.
Support is so important in the form of money as well. So there's support in sharing, liking, all that stuff, which is very important and very important to me for Asase Ba. But just in the future, in terms of cultural work and giving people the tools to be able to do this sort of research and just talking to different people, funding is needed.
And I think funding should be given to cultural work, specifically within the margins—those who are often relegated to the background, hidden or silenced, those topics that are not "respectable." Funding should be given to people who are focusing on those topics as well. In my afrofuturist vision in regards to cultural work, I also believe that we should honour and learn about cultural workers.
Even before I expand on that, when I say more funding for work, I also include Ghanaians living in Ghana and Ghanaians across the diaspora. So it's a collective thing. But back to honouring and learning about cultural workers…we should because it's so important to see these cultural workers and learn about their work and why they do the things they do, their inspiration.
Learn about their stories, learn about specifically, the women, non-binary people, queer people that are doing this work, people that are in the margins that are doing this work. We can't just honour and acknowledge the people that are cishet, cishet men. I think that's very important.
Also, we need physical spaces to discuss and showcase cultural work. I'm here in Canada. It would be so nice to have a space where I can go to, other people can go to, to see our cultural works on display. And the Internet is cute and all for these things, but there's something powerful about seeing cultural work in the physical realm, you know what I mean?
And just absorbing it and engaging with it, where you live. I love it. The times that I've seen that on display, I felt so nicely rooted, I felt like there were people here that I could connect with, resonate with. I think we need these physical spaces for Ghanaian cultural work. And I'm sure there are Ghanaians, who are living in Ghana that feel the same way as well.
And another thing: I want to see more cultural groups here in Canada supporting cultural work that centres people in the margins, people in the margins that are not, "respectable" or adhere to respectability politics. I want to see more of that. And I also want to see cultural work aimed at children, elders and adults as well.
Because the way that we approach the work is different depending on what kind of age group or generation you belong to. So I really want to see more of that. Okay, so now, you got my vision of the future as it pertains to cultural work.
Future Vision of Ghanaian Queer Rights and Spaces
Now, this is my vision of the future as it pertains to queerness and queer identities.
I want to see the decriminalization of queerness in Ghana. In season three, episode three, I talked about what's going on in Ghana in terms of the anti-LGBTQIA bill that is going through the rounds right now, and how harmful and violent it is. And just in general, the violence that queer people in Ghana face.
So I want to see the decriminalization of queerness in Ghana, and laws that protect queer people from discrimination from harm, from violence. And there are a lot of Ghanaian organizations, queer organizations that talk about the things that they need in Ghana, so I strongly encourage you to follow them. There's LGBT+ Rights Ghana, Silent Majority Ghana, and Drama Queens, they support queer folks as well. So just check out those organizations. They're on social media, they have websites.
I also want to see physical spaces for queer Ghanaians. I recently watched the show Sex Education, which is on Netflix, and seeing Eric go to Nigeria…There's this underground club scene with all these queer Nigerians are just in their element—dancing, being themselves, having fun. I want to see more of these spaces that are not hidden, that doesn't have to be hidden, because it's not a crime. You know what I mean?
I want to see decriminalization and laws that protect queer people, give room to these spaces, these physical spaces here in Canada and also in Ghana, and across the diaspora, where queer people can just be. And I also want to see funding for individuals or groups that support queerness. Money speaks, let's be real.
So more funding for organizations, for cultural work that centre queerness. And I want to see more queer documentaries, histories, work, media, that centre queer Ghanaians. I want to see this without people fearing for their lives or fearing consequences or retribution, especially our queer siblings in Ghana, where it's very dangerous to be queer out loud. So those are my visions of the future, as it pertains to cultural work, oral tradition, queer identities.
And now let's hear from two other Ghanaians and their imaginations of the future, their visions of the future. First, you'll hear from Makafui, pronouns she/her, and Makafui is a writer on hiatus. She has folders full of half-written stories and a head that's forever in the clouds. One day when she's done creating content for others, she'll return to those stories and finally finished one.
So you'll hear her recording about her vision of the future. And after that, you'll hear from Amma Gyamfowa on her vision of the future. Amma, pronouns she/her, is a Ghanaian Canadian womanist therapist and social worker, engaged in the field of social work for the last eight years. Her work has been rooted in supporting Black women, trans and non-binary youth as survivors of gender-based violence.
With a demonstrated history of meaningful engagement in community development, she has cultivated and advanced diverse programs and initiatives across the Greater Toronto Area. Amma is the Founder of Womanist Healing Counselling Services, prioritizing mental health counselling and therapeutic supports through a holistic, African diasporic lens to healing, mental wellness and liberation.
Amma was actually a guest on Asase Ba for season one, episode four, and she came on to talk about mental health. So go check out that episode as well. So you'll hear from Makafui and then you hear Amma's recording. Here we go.
Makafui’s Vision of the Future
Makafui
Sometimes my ideal world feels like a fantasy. I look at all the systemic issues we face today and the idea of resolving them all feels insurmountable, but I'm going to try anyway. I want a world without borders, where the quality of my life isn't capped by the colour of my passport if I can even afford one.
I want us all to be free to pursue our interests because our ability to have a good life isn't dependent on employment, where we work not to earn money but to contribute to the healthy ecosystem that sustains us. I hope for a future where we don't downplay serious medical conditions because we can't afford treatment.
I want a future so accessible, that disabled people can have the greatest possible quality of life, where learning sign language is as much of a default as learning to speak and wheelchair users don't have to share sidewalks with outdoor seating for restaurants.
Imagine a world where indigenous people everywhere led the way when it came to sustainably sharing this planet, where corporations don't get away with setting the ocean on fire, where billionaires don't enter a space-based dick measuring contest, while their employees earn barely enough to live on. Honestly, neither corporations nor billionaires have a place in my ideal future.
There is no ethical way to earn that kind of money, much less to sit on it while others die because of problems your money can solve. I want a world where I can go jogging at night if I wanted to, without worrying about grass allergies or creepy men, where little girls can go to school without worrying about inappropriate gestures from their teachers, or their classmates, where women everywhere are safe.
We all deserve that much. I want a world where the idea of coming out is a journey of discovery, not something wrapped in fear or doubt, where our views on gender and sexuality aren't so limited. Because why can't we add to all the wonder that already exists by breaking free of these ancient moulds that limit self-expression, a world without misogyny, queerphobia, racism and poverty.
I waver between finding all this impossible, and believing that we're not too far gone as a species to do better. But ultimately, I want better for all of us. And I'm willing to work for it, even if it seems futile. That said, if this is all a waste, let me float away to a magical island with those I love. Let me find a safe space for all who need it and all who are committed to loving and protecting the most vulnerable of us.
Amma’s Vision of the Future
Amma
When I think about the future, I think about the world as I would want to and hope to live in it. But because sometimes that feels so far away, I think about what it might look like for the next generation, for my younger cousins, or siblings or sisters or children. So when I combine those visions, I think of words.
I think what it means to feel a sense of freedom, that we're not as impacted, or we're able to shift and destroy things like anti-Blackness and misogynoir, homophobia and transphobia and classism, that our identities do not serve as barriers. But as beautiful points and intersections for us to live at and not only a place where we experience our marginalization or oppression.
I think intergenerational healing and intergenerational wisdom, that we use the wisdom of our ancestors, of our parents, of our loved ones, of our elders, and placing it into every moment of our days and our times that we reclaim that education. And we reclaim that knowledge.
I also think of unity, and what it looks like for us to empathize and further understand the experiences of other people who may not always reflect our identities, but are deeply deserving of our love, our respect, of our care, of our tenderness. And so although it sounds grandiose, I would want to destroy any system of oppression that exists, that disconnects us from one another.
When I think about the future, I think about people feeling whole, people feeling like they are their whole selves, that they are empowered, that they are able to move through the world as one. That sometimes you can, depending on the spaces that we're in, feel so disconnected from who we truly are. And my hope for the future is that each of us realizes our dreams for ourselves, and live accordingly to that.
