Actions: 

I am the co-organiser of the Aya Afrikan Learning Community and its Saturday political education programme for Afrikan heritage youth in the UK.

I am also an independent economist educator and researcher and an MSc student of development economics. I focus on neocolonialism and decolonisation; stratification economics; solidarity economics; reparations; and using education as a form of community self-repair, and as a tool for conscientisation and movement building.

Statement: 

Reparation is the holistic process of repairing a people whilst repairing and remaking the world. Reparations encompass the concrete objectives of our struggle for Afrikan Liberation from the Maangamizi under the banner of revolutionary Pan-Africanism. This process of repair encompasses community self-repairs, planet repairs, economic repairs, cultural repairs, educational repairs, spiritual repairs, rematriation, and much more.
