In this episode of Sankofa Sessions with Kofi and Kofi, we sit down with urban agriculture advocate and food justice leader Duron Chavis for a powerful conversation about food, health, and survival in the Black community. From food deserts and chronic illness to urban farming and cultural healing, Duron breaks down how access to healthy food is tied to economics, race, history, and power. We also explore how communities can reclaim control through local food systems, education, and ownership. This is more than a conversation about diet—it’s a conversation about liberation.

From ancestral roots to modern kitchens, they explore how flavors, ingredients, and traditions preserve culture, spark nostalgia, and keep heritage alive.

This episode goes beyond the plate, digging into the emotional and cultural power of food—how it connects us to where we come from and shapes where we’re going.

In this episode of Sankofa Sessions, Kofi Annan leads a thought-provoking conversation with Dr. Yawende Austin, Professor Bobby, SegeBami, and Bill McGee in Unlearning the Divide. Together, they take a hard look at the systems, stories, and lived experiences that have shaped division across communities in the African diaspora and beyond. This isn’t surface-level talk—it's an honest, necessary dialogue about how separation is learned, internalized, and reinforced over time.

Each panelist brings a unique perspective, challenging assumptions and offering insight into what it really takes to move toward unity, understanding, and collective progress. This conversation pushes viewers to rethink what they’ve been taught and consider how we actively unlearn division in our own lives and communities.
