About Us

Who We Are

Think Like An Afrikan is a new book series dedicated to exploring and creating a new mindset for people of Afrikan descent. In addition, this book series investigates how we as a people have arrived in this current state of affairs; why we are so hated all around the world and how we can get back to basics using the ancient Afrikan philosophy which has kept us relevant for millions of years.
In today’s society globally people of Akrifan descent have moved to the back of the line in almost every category from education to economics. We have also discovered ways to move away from unity and community which are the very concept that we were introduced to by the Afrikan Philosophies before the slave trade.
Collective Strength

Building Community Through Afrikan Philosophy

Afrikan Philosophy was founded on the principles of humanness; dignity; togetherness; community; and respect for human rights. Think Like An Afrikan book series will focus on the principles of building our community through social and collectivistic rather than individualistic and unity in ideology. Cooperation and altruism are considered crucial.

Unveiling 400 Years of Struggle and Injustice

The purpose of writing this book series is to take an indepth look at our journey over the last 400 years not only in America but also around the world. Many people of Afrikan descent are facing the same problems. The world seems to have a problem with us in general and no one is taking the blame for our fall from grace. It’s as if we have committed some type of crime against the world that is totally unforgivable.

Why Is Afrikan Suffering Still Unforgiven?

I am amazed at how Germany has been forgiven for the Holocaust which according to history had taken the lives of millions of Jewish people and the United States for dropping the Atom Bomb on innocent Japanese people but Africa and people of Afrikan descent are still continuing to receive a global beat down from just about every country in the world. So what exactly did we do to deserve this treatment? How did we end up in this condition? And more importantly what can we do to escape the horrors that the world has bestowed upon us.

Unjust Legacy

The Unjust Foundations of Global Slavery

Let’s start from the beginning of our introduction to world wide slavery. The enslavement of Afrikan people has always intrigued my interest. It’s hard to understand the justification of enslaving a particular type of people and then telling them as well as the world that life has nothing better for them but to be servants. Then after you have enslaved these people for over 200 years, after building your economy with free labor and you becoming a world economic and super power, you see no reason to pay these people back for their free labor. None of this makes any sense on the surface and to convince others that how it is almost sounds absurd.
Lost Heritage

Reclaiming Afrikan Identity and Heritage

One major problem is that many people of Afrikan descent are not clear on how we identify with Afrika and yet we have no real connection with the country. This concept has always bugged me because I always hear Causians say that they are German, Irish or English and have never been to any of these countries nor do they have any family ties there as well. They are so proud of their heritage and have some much pride in where their family have originated. Us on the other hand have brought into this false sense that we don’t have a country. But we really do…whether we like it or not. We are Afrikan and we have originated from some country in Afrika. It may be hard to swallow right now but let me try to explain. People of Afrikan descent have been denied their true ability to claim a true heritage because in this country America wants you to feel and go about life without understanding your culture. It was what kept the slave in his place back during the days of slavery and what works today in keeping us from coming together and creating real prosperity in this country.
Unity in Action

Embracing Our Afrikan Future

As we reflect on the journey of our ancestors and the trials we continue to face, it is clear that reconnecting with our Afrikan heritage is essential for reclaiming our identity and strength. Through unity, community, and the wisdom of Afrikan philosophy, we can pave the way for a brighter future—one built on collective prosperity, dignity, and respect. Let us come together, take action, and uplift ourselves and future generations.
