"Facilitating a globally beneficial  African Renaissance"

“…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.”  
  

Nobel Laureate
Desmond Tutu hails the
African Renaissance
Initiative
“I am impressed with
ARA's enthusiastic
commitment to the
concept of the African
Renaissance…God
bless your admirable
efforts
