ANOTHER WAY. A BETTER WAY. THE ONLY WAY.
About Us
"We Said Yes to The Call" : Siblings on a Mission
More than siblings, Moses and Charlene are the co-founders of the 'Melanin Centered' World. We strongly believe in becoming the change that we want to see in the world. Fueled by passion and pain, vision and hope, this organization was birthed to provide platforms for raising consciousness, developing leaders, and forming meaningful connections in order to heal and empower our communities in holistic ways. "We are ordinary people who finally said YES! to the higher calling...We are products of GRACE."
OUR MISSION
CENTRALIZE AFRICA : THIS IS THE ONLY WAY FORWARD
This organization centers on Africa not just as the geographic center of the world but also as the motherland, that is, the people who the progenitors of all humanity, but are unfortunately systematically oppressed, silenced, excluded, and exploited on all fronts and in all spheres of today’s society. This is the sad paradox of anti-blackness and anti-indigeneity that plagues our world. We acknowledge that once the world finds its center, we shall find our balance once more, thus accelerating the healing, restoration, and renewal that we, as human beings and earth residents, desperately need. We are beyond due for a WHOLE, RENEWED, WORLD!
As the African saying goes, “It takes a village,” hence we are here to ignite and unite Black Messiahs across the global diaspora to arise to the call of the hour: TO SHINE! All of our individual and collective gifts are now on demand to liberate our minds, to rebuild our foundations, to heal our families, and empower our communities hence restoring EDEN; restoring the Kingdom of Heaven back on earth.
"May we forever stand, True to Our God, True to our Native Land!"
~ Lift Every Voice / Black National Anthem.
Melanated lives do in fact matter to The Most High, Our Creator. God hears Black tears. We are now being awakened, healed, organized, holistically resourced, and sent out as the answers to our own prayers. The Kingdom is within us. We can change the world! Welcome HOME to our Real Identity: CHOSEN, LOVED and emPOWERed.
BUILDING BRIDGES - Partnering towards Healing and Renewal
As our mission is to uplift Africa and thus making the world a better place for everyone, we value meaningful collaboration and offer platforms for coalition-building across all ethnicities and identities towards our collective liberation. All of the services we provide: event curation and organizing; media and creative solutions; educational services and DEI consultation; and network-building and marketing; etc; are all towards this end. We have the power to change the world when we choose to make way for LOVE, LIGHT, MUTUAL CONCERN, HEALING, REPARATIONS, AND RENEWAL. When we choose to encounter each other with kindness, dignity, and respect, we shall all TRANSCEND! We shall all be ONE when we are all FREE. LOVE ALWAYS WINS!
"I LOVE YOU ALL." ~ Sonya Massey.
