🎙️ TDA Patreon Exclusive Recap

What a Thursday show! We had the building packed with family, guests, and heavy conversations that stretched from Egyptology to plantain prices. Yes, you read that right. Here’s the breakdown for the loyalists and originals:

✨ Highlights

• Chiké and Shadé introduced themselves, dropping gems about Black Tech Fest with 150+ speakers and DJs lined up.

• Cambridge’s own historian/archaeologist joined to talk about reconstructing Egypt and the African linguistic/cultural ties erased by colonial Egyptology.

• A fiery debate unfolded over Bodge vs. Gardiner translations of hieroglyphs and the German influence in Egyptology - raising questions about fakes, forgeries, and stolen history.

• The crew exposed Tasty’s wild pricing tactics - charging £2.10 for one chunk of beef, £2 for four plantain slices, and even £1 to heat up your food. Madness!

• Shoutout to Pan-African Academy for correcting the record on Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, highlighting her as a nationalist, feminist, and political powerhouse beyond just being “Fela’s mum.”

• A community spotlight: rapper Hiram Abif dropped his new track “Reactions” - boxing-inspired bars with heavy energy.
