I visited the historic Cape Coast Slave Castle and had the remarkable Justice K. Acquah as our tour guide. He absolutely does Justice to the tour and his passion is undeniable. He has been a tour guide at the Cape Coast for over a decade and some.This experience was very evocative for me, I found myself teetering between weeping, a feeling of asphyxiation and nausea at some point at the gruesome reality of what took place here. I share this talk because by the time we left I was able to see what lessons to take from the time we spent in the castle and I hope you will be provoked into some hard questions and conversations.The building struck me as a little girl trying to keep up appearances, its whitewashed exterior a facade of innocence. As I entered, the stark contrast between light and dark hit me with visceral force. The male slave dungeon, hidden beneath the pristine surface, was oppressively heavy, shrouded in darkness, and claustrophobically confining. The juxtaposition of the building's outward purity and its grim interior deeply haunting.We are aware of the audio issues in some parts of the recording and were unfortunately unable to fully resolve them. As this was a tour recording, we believe the conversation was still important to keep. Thank you for your understanding and grace.GET in touch with me: • Peggie on Instagram @ps_umindhttps://www.instagram.com/ps_umind• Follow the Podcast on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/ssitwithu Link-tree:https://linktr.ee/peggieshangwahttps://linktr.ee/pagepoetryaliveBuy me a Rooibos, Support the podcast and donate via Payrequest & https://www.patreon.com/UmindAdvertising Inquiries: info.pagepoetryalive@gmail.comListen to it on: Apple, Spotify, Amazon, Google Podcasts & more today.If you want to be a part of "Sit With U Mic Drop as a poet " or have a "Thought with U" story, email your audio submissions to peggieshangwa@gmail.comMake sure to LIKE, SHARE and REVIEW Us!

The question that has been on my mind for a while has been “Why is our generation a Fatherless Generation?”In this episode I sit with Mike Channing and we speak about Sonship & Fatherhood, trauma bonds and how true Godly governance is Family, Fathers and Sons. He speaks about how you can only be a father if you have been a son, we learn fathering through sonship.Mike Channing is an Educator, a father and a leader who has been on mission teaching on Redemptive Gifts of individuals and Nations.He has been working with the Nama people of Namibia and the Avambo people.
