OUR RATIONALE
“For most of history, Africa was the most advanced continent.“ The Language of Genes by Professor Steve Jones (1944 - )
Geneticist and former Head of the Department of Genetics, Evolution and Environment at University College London,
author, journalist and broadcaster

OUR DELIVERY APPROACH – is based on the informed understanding that in order for us to forget our African
story, the African peoples were systematically brutalised, traumatised, abused, humiliated and brainwashed into
believing the opposite of their story by the subject called History.

HEALING HISTORY – is central to our ability to recover from the trauma of history (his story), to understand what
happened, break the cycle of suffering, and create a new era for ourselves and future generations.

SUPPORTING MATERIALS – have been painstakingly and lovingly developed to assist with this process of healing
including the How would that make you feel? book series, Unbound Voices podcasts and Healing History
exposition. Tasters are shared here and are available in full on our subscription platform.

AFRICENTRIC SOLUTIONS – are key to creating sustainable and tangible changes on the ground for the African
people. It requires conscious Africans who love their continent to come together to do the inner work of healing
(individually, and together) and create these solutions that provide for everyone, with considered focus on
vulnerable communities, funded by 80% of subscriptions.
