African Renaissance Monument

Dakar, Senegal.

The Foundation's Mission

A non-profit chartered to support economic inclusion by strengthening and bringing together Black ingenuity currently done in insolation.

We are born of a people who are heroes and heroines. We are resilient. We are empowered to take control of our image and portray and uplift Black ingenuity and Black Excellence. We are from a legacy that did not despair because today the weather is bad. Nor turn triumphalist when, tomorrow, the sun shines. Whatever the circumstances we are resolved to define for ourselves who we are and who we should be.
