Welcome to Come to the Brink w/ Zoe Flowers, the space where we talk about navigating life’s hardest transitions—loss, transformation, and the beauty that can emerge from the wreckage.
Today, I'm inviting you to step into the world of art, music, and ancestral power with me and Baba Marcus Ṣàngódoyin Akinlana—artist, musician, spiritual warrior, and a keeper of culture in Bulbancha (aka Nouvelle Orleans).
Today, we’re talking about holding a community’s grief without losing ourselves, how music, arts, and culture have been medicine and why working with our ancestors is not just important—but necessary.
Music Inspo..."Family Affair" Sly & The Family Stone
Baba Marcus Ṣàngódoyin Akinlana materialized in this world in the 1960s during the sublimely Divine year of the ferocious Black Panther. Upon arrival, he surveyed this beautiful green and blue planet and said " Ahaaa, let me feel the Funk BEBÉ!!!" From then on he began to sink his claws into the funk to lavish the world with his Afreecentric Art, Music, Self-Defense Modalities, and Jujupower Òrìṣà Vudu Inspired Living and to be lavished in return.....
Today, Baba Akinlana draws superpowers of creativity from his beloved community and his sacred EGUN {Ancestors} from the Bayous of Bulbancha {aka Nouvelle Orleans} and beyond so he can help bring the unmitigated funktafied creative spice of life to the beautiful masses.
