As the world races to lead the way in blockchain technology, could Africa have an advantage? This documentary follows the journeys of two African Bitcoin pioneers, Alakanani Itireleng (Founder of the Satoshi Centre, Botswana) and Lorien Gamaroff (Founder of Usizo). Exploring their hopes for this technology and how it could be used to improve the lives of millions of people, experts in finance, economics and technology weigh in with a mix of industry research, opinions and passion for what the future global economy could hold. And, with much of the developed world’s banking system becoming increasingly unstable, this documentary starts a conversation about cryptocurrency and Africa leapfrogging problems to live in a better global financial system.

Prof. Manu gives insight in a 3-part series on "The Spiritual Tradition of Black People in the Biblical Land of Kemet (Egypt)," sponsored by Brother To Brother (Oakland, CA).

PART 3 OF 3: Function of the Temple in Kemet

In light of the recent global protests against racism, calls to #DefundThePolice and the ravages of the COVID-19 pandemic, one question has been repeatedly asked:
“How can the Black community create sustainable change for ourselves?”

This discussion will focus on attempting to answer that question by focusing on one word: infrastructure.

Structural racism/white supremacy have always created roadblocks to our community building the necessary framework to protect and provide for our communities. Many of us are exhausted with talking about “the problem” and want to build more sustainable solutions to the many challenges our community faces.
