A Radical Revolution, a Return to the Land | Joshua Kwaku Asiedu | TEDxMindelo
In this powerful TEDx talk, Joshua Kwaku Asiedu redefines what it means to be 'radical.' Often misunderstood as extremism, 'radical' actually comes from the Latin word radix, meaning 'roots.' Joshua explores how returning to our roots—our ancestral wisdom and sustainable ways of life—can help us tackle the root causes of racial, oppressive, and environmental injustice. He calls for a radical revolution that protects our environment, honors ancestral knowledge, and resists the forces of exploitation. The time for change is now, and this revolution begins with each of us reclaiming our relationship with Mother Nature. Joshua Kwaku Asiedu is an eco-entrepreneur who journeyed from the streets of Milan to the forests of Ghana in a quest for self-discovery. Inspired by lessons from indigenous communities, he built his own eco-village, creating a model for sustainable living by reconnecting with the land. His work blends ancestral wisdom with modern innovation, offering a powerful example of how to live in harmony with nature.
