The Secular Sankofa Podcast is where Black voices rise with reason. Hosted by the Association of Black Humanists (ABH), this bold and thought-provoking show explores life beyond religion through the lens of African and Black humanist experiences.
From decolonising the mind to confronting racism, civil rights, and injustice, we dive deep into culture, identity, Pan-African history, and the future of our communities.
Unfiltered, unapologetic, and committed to truth, liberation, human dignity, and freethought — this is the podcast for Black freethinkers, atheists, seekers, and changemakers across the African diaspora and beyond.
Akua Rugg attended a CMS infants’ school in Lagos, Nigeria, in the early 1950s. At her secondary school in England, every day started with a bible-reading session. On Sundays she attended both morning and evening services; the sermons at the latter, always given by white missionaries demeaned Africans, turning Akua against religion and the British Empire and into a political activist.
