Season 3, Episode 16: Return to Your Roots

Many of us are revamping conversations that we had in 2016 about leaving the United States… Going back to Africa… Reconnecting with our roots. What does that process look like? Where would we begin? We’ll be discussing this with our guest momologist, Aweke Tyehimba. 

Guest Momologist, Aweke Tyehimba.  Bookstore owner Akwete Tyehimba was born on April 3, 1963 in Waco, Texas to Oblee Monroe and Isiah Monroe. She graduated from Richfield High School in Waco, Texas in 1981 and attended McLennan Community College in Waco, Texas, the University of North Texas in Denton, Texas and night classes at North Lake College in Irving, Texas.  Akwete has helped on various local campaigns and Co-Founded the Pan-African Connection with her late husband in 1989.  In 2013, Tyehimba was named one of thirty of the most interesting people in Dallas by the Dallas Observer. Tyehimba had three children with her late husband, Bandele Tyehimba; Adjwoa, Bambata and Sekou.
