“…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.”
