African hair was never just about appearance. It carried identity, culture, and meaning. Colonialism and slavery disrupted that, stripped it down, and replaced it with a system that taught African women to see their natural hair as something to fix, manage, or hide.What we now call preference did not appear out of nowhere. It was shaped over time, reinforced through schools, workplaces, and media, until straight hair became the standard and everything else had to adjust.So the real question is not what African women are choosing today. The question is why those choices feel necessary, and who defined that necessity in the first place.If there is any real conversation to be had, it is this: how much of what we call beauty is actually ours, and how much of it was imposed on us.

Today we honor Amos Wilson.🖤

The gears that keep us running. The voice that gives us inspiration, motivation, and charts the path to psychological liberation. We want everyone—young and old—to know Amos and his work.

Not long ago, we were chatting with a few Wilsonians—those of uswho have sat at the feet of his teachings, who have had our minds reorganized by his words. And someone asked the question:"How old were you when you learned about Amos?"

One by one, the answers came. Twenty-five. Thirty-two. Forty.Forty-seven. All of them... too late.

There was a little bit of regret in that room. Not because we found him eventually—but because we wished we had found him sooner. We wished someone had placed his books in our hands when our minds were still forming. We wished his voice had been in our ears beforethe world convinced us of lies about ourselves.

We all wished we had heard his teachings earlier.

And right there, in that moment, something was born. Afrika's Army: An Amos Wilson Awakening.

Because the youngest among us deserve to grow up with Amos. They deserve to learn about the psychology of power before they learn about powerlessness. They deserve to understand that their mind is their wealth, their consciousness is their weapon, and their cultureis their foundation.

Afrika's Army is for our children.

So that one day, when they are asked, "How old were you when you learned about Amos?" — they won't have to say too late.

They'll say, "I grew up with him."

Happy Birthday, Dr. Amos Wilson. Your work lives on in the youngest soldiers of Afrika's Army. ✊🏿📚

✊🏿Join the legacy. Teach the children.

​@BSEGhana@DOORUpdates https://www.decadeofourrepatriation.com https://www.repatriatetoghana.com https://www.abibitumi.com/appsRex Owusu Marfo (popularly known as Rex Omar), Coordinator of the Black Star Experience Secretariat under the Office of the President, explains the vision behind this special government initiative to rebrand Ghana through culture, arts, and tourism. He outlines the Secretariat’s seven pillars—storytelling, cinema, music, cuisine, aesthetics, heritage/culture, and literary works—and highlights its role in attracting investment into the creative economy and tourism ecosystem to strengthen infrastructure and long-term development.He stresses that the Black Star Experience is bigger than entertainment or “Dirty December,” calling on brothers and sisters in the diaspora to view Ghana not merely as a place to visit, but as a home to reconnect with spiritually and a place to build with purpose. In the follow-up, he connects this cultural rebranding to the 2026–2036 Decade of Our Repatriation, explaining how government agencies are working together to support repatriation, encourage investment, and foster collaboration between returnees and local Ghanaians to develop the land for future generations.

He was wrongly arrested in the US and put before court and won the case. He has since repatriated to Ghana and has never looked back and vows never to step foot in America ever again. Enjoy my chat with Ɔbenfo Ọbádélé Bakari Kambon

⁣The training is over. The real mission begins. 🕵🏾‍


We intercepted enemy intel—a letter to an Agent on the Motherland with a plan to keep Pan-Africanism stuck in the past. This semester, our scholars build the counter-strategy.


We have 72 hours.
72 hours until our counter-operation begins.
72 hours to enroll your scholar in Afrika's Army 2.
72 hours before the first class decrypts this letter and builds the strategy to break it.


This isn’t a game. It’s training for the future they’re trying to prevent.
Your scholar doesn’t need to just read history—they need to learn how to change it.


3 DAYS LEFT.
The mission is waiting.
The cohort is forming.
