ADESHINA: Preserving Our History & Culture | Dr. David H. Brown

ADESHINA: Preserving Our History & Culture | Dr. David H. Brown

What happens when the history of our traditions is not documented, preserved, and passed to the next generation?
In this very special episode of Our Roots Podcast, host Joseph BABAIFA sits down with respected author and anthropologist Dr. David H. Brown for an important conversation surrounding his latest research and book, ADESHINA.
Dr. Brown has dedicated extensive research to documenting Afro-Cuban religious history, culture, traditions, and the people whose lives helped shape the practices we continue today.
Together, Joseph and Dr. Brown explore the research behind ADESHINA, the history it preserves, and why understanding the lives and experiences of those who came before us is so important to understanding our traditions today.
This is more than a conversation about a book. It is a conversation about history, ancestry, cultural preservation, education, and responsibility.
How do we preserve our stories before they disappear?
How much of our history remains undocumented?
And what responsibility does this generation have to make sure authentic knowledge reaches the next?
Join us for a rare and meaningful conversation dedicated to educating our community, honoring those who came before us, and preserving our culture for generations to come.
