The lectures have over the years hosted great speakers such as Prof. Kofi Agawu, Dr. Letitia E. Obeng,Prof. Ablade Glover and the late Prof. Emeritus J. H. Kwabena Nketia (the grandfather of M.anifest)

Born Kwame Ametepe Tsikata to Reverend Dr Priscilla Naana Nketia, a lawyer and pastor and Tsatsu Tsikata: the multiple awards winner holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics from Macalester College in the United States of America. M.anifest has successfully created a sound that can be described as unique and one that many describe as a genre on it's own.
