The World's FIRST Afrocentric School Is Changing How African Children See Themselves

⁣What happens when African children are taught to know, love and take pride in their own heritage?

In this powerful and deeply important episode of SELL AFRIKA TO AFRIKANS, I sit down with Engineer Oku Kanayo, founder of Freedom International Schools – Africa in Nakuru, Kenya — a school built around Afrocentric education, African heritage, African culture and African pride.

Engineer Oku Kanayo shares the powerful story behind why he and his wife decided to create a different kind of school for African children.

Instead of allowing African children to grow up disconnected from their history, culture and identity, Freedom International Schools – Africa seeks to give children a deeper understanding of who they are, where they come from and the incredible continent they call home.

The school has also received international recognition, winning the Global School Prize for Best School in Arts, Culture and Innovation.

In this conversation, we go deep into:

• Why African children need to learn their own history and heritage
• The importance of Afrocentric education
• Why African children should be proud to be African
• The role of culture and identity in education
• How colonial education shaped African perceptions of themselves
• Why African education needs to be reimagined
• Raising a generation of African children capable of transforming Africa
• The inspiration behind Freedom International Schools – Africa
• African culture, creativity, innovation and education
• Why Africa's future depends on how we educate our children

This isn't simply a conversation about a school.

It is a conversation about the future of Africa.

If we want to change Africa, we must also ask ourselves:

What are we teaching African children about themselves?

Watch until the end and discover why Engineer Oku Kanayo believes education can help create a new generation of Africans who understand their heritage, embrace their identity and dedicate themselves to building a better Africa.

THIS IS AFRICA'S FUTURE. 🇰🇪🌍✊🏿
