Description:

Ever wonder how African political systems survived slavery and colonisation? Meet Ékpè - the sophisticated leopard societies of Nigeria and Cameroon that became the blueprint for Black communities worldwide.
In this episode, we break down how enslaved Africans didn't just survive - they GOVERNED. From Cuba's Abakuá brotherhoods to modern Black fraternal organisations, you'll start recognising these ancient governance patterns everywhere.

What You'll Learn:

How Ékpè societies really worked (way more than just "secret societies")
Why Cuban Abakuá used the same principles as West African leopard cults
The connection between historical African governance and modern Black organisations
How to spot these patterns in contemporary communities

Key Insight: When you see African diaspora communities creating brotherhoods, mutual aid networks, or fraternal organisations - you're often witnessing Ékpè principles being rebuilt for new environments.
This isn't about nostalgia - it's about recognising that African political systems were so effective, enslaved people risked their lives to recreate them.
