This journey starts with Spiritual Awakening, leading to Heritage Discovery and landing in Ancestral Lineage Connection.

She has helped millions of us to find our journey back home: spiritually, mentally and psychologically.
If you participate in the summit, you will gain insight on what needs to be done for spiritual (not religious) awakening, how to discover your heritage, connect to your ancestral lineage, to learn about the most exclusive and profitable businesses in Africa and in the Caribbean, to learn how to claim your African citizenship through your DNA, to meet and network with great pan-African leaders, change makers and also being able to learn about Ubuntu economics and communalism.
What is more, the summit will also allow you the privilege of learning how the 1st University started, the Circle of Fire, Origin of Yoga, Ancestral Village, Sunrise and Sunset Meditation, the Origin of Life through black woman’s womb, alternative financial system, pan-African crypto and a lot more.
Here is what we suggest you do: register now and purchase your ticket at a very discounted rate before 15th June to guarantee your presence in the summit and to see first-hand what’s happening.
“If you do not attend, you will certainly miss your opportunity to have an impact on the pan Africanist movement. You must grab great opportunities to network with people like King Joshua Maponga III, Mut Rosa Natalino, Prof. Inocência da Mata, Gorete Semedo, Lual Mayen, and many more.
We all should attend this event to be able to build the Africa and African community we want around the world. Build the youth you want, build for the next generation and do not allow your children to experience the same world you did experience.”
