“…It is our light, not our darkness that most
frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be
brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually,
who are you not to be? You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so
that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do. We
were born to make manifest the glory of God that
is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in
everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we
unconsciously give other people permission to
do the same. As we are liberated from our own
fear, our presence automatically liberates
others.”  
ARA’s African Renaissance Creed
by Marianne Williamson
'Preamble' by Nelson
Mandela:  “Africa is
beyond bemoaning the
past for its problems.
The task of undoing that
past is ours, with the
support of those willing
to join us in a
continental renewal.
…We (Africans) must
take responsibility for
our own destiny, that
we will uplift ourselves
only by our own efforts
in partnership with
those (Non-Africans)
who wish us well.”    

Blessing by Nobel
Laureate Archbishop
Desmond Tutu
“I am impressed with
ARA's enthusiastic
commitment to the
concept of the African
Renaissance…God
bless your admirable
efforts"
The African
Renaissance Statement  
by the Renaissance Man
- President Thabo Mbeki

“…to be a true African is
to be a rebel in the
cause of the African
Renaissance, whose
success in the new
century and millennium
is one of the great
historic challenges of
our time."
