  1. I help Americans with research to obtain 2nd

    Many Americans with and *nearly all* with ancestry (#ECOWAS) are either entitled to apply for citizenships, or already have that citizenship, even if they're unaware (e.g. Italian, Canadian)

    Many (e.g. Croatia, Italy, Canada or several African countries) only require one ancestor unlimited generations back.

    I offer a free consultation.

    Just reach out to me directly. Or:

  4. This Time For the Africa Centre: Why protecting this historic institution matters for all of us

    The Bounce Black Team

    Some places are more than buildings. They become home…

    Since 1964, The Africa Centre has been one of those places.

    A space where African culture, heritage, creativity, community and possibility have been able to meet in the heart of London.

    At Bounce Black, we know this because we have experienced it ourselves.

    The Africa Centre has been a collaborator, a friend and an important part of the ecosystem that has supported our work. It has provided space for conversations, programmes, celebrations and connections, creating opportunities for people across African and Black communities to come together, share ideas and build something bigger than themselves.

    That is why its current situation matters.

    More than a building

    When a cultural institution faces financial difficulty, it can be tempting to think about the problem simply in terms of a building, a venue or an organisation.

    But community infrastructure is about much more than bricks and mortar.

    It is about what happens inside those spaces.

    It is about the young person attending an event and discovering a new possibility for their future.

    It is about an artist finding an audience.

    It is about a community organisation finding a place to gather.

    It is about entrepreneurs, creatives, activists, professionals and community leaders meeting one another, forming relationships that lead to collaborations, opportunities and movements that reverberate years into the future.

    It is about being able to walk into a space and feel that you belong there.

    And for African and Black communities, those spaces matter. Massively.

    In a world where our cultural institutions and community organisations are often asked to achieve extraordinary things with limited resources, protecting the infrastructure that enables this work is a collective responsibility.

    A place with a legacy

    The Africa Centre has been part of London’s cultural landscape for decades.

    Its significance extends beyond any single programme or event. It represents a longstanding commitment to creating a platform for African culture, ideas, creativity and community.

    That legacy deserves to be recognised, but it also needs to be protected.

    Heritage is not simply something we preserve by looking backwards.

    Heritage is something we carry forward.

    The question, therefore, isn’t only what The Africa Centre has meant to previous generations.

    It is what it means to us, now.

    And what it could continue to mean to the next generation.

    What happens when a young African Londoner walks through those doors ten years from now?

    What conversations could happen there?

    What businesses could be launched?

    What artists could be discovered?

    What friendships or romantic relationships could begin?

    What ideas could become movements?

    What futures could be imagined?

    Those possibilities are worth investing in.

    Why Bounce Black is showing up

    Bounce Black exists because we believe that wellbeing, racial equity and social mobility are interconnected.

    Our communities need opportunities to connect, develop, create and thrive. That requires more than individual resilience. It requires healthy ecosystems around people.

    And ecosystems need infrastructure.

    The Africa Centre has been part of that infrastructure for us.

    As a collaborator and friend, we have seen the value of having a physical space where Black communities can gather and where organisations can do meaningful work.

    So when we see an institution that has played such an important role facing an urgent financial challenge, we believe it is important to show up.

    Not because one organisation can solve everything.

    But because collective action starts with recognising what is worth protecting.

    This is an invitation to show up

    The Africa Centre has launched the Our Africa Centre. Our Heritage. Our Future. fundraising campaign to help secure its future.

    This is an opportunity for individuals, organisations, philanthropists, businesses and community members to contribute to the work of sustaining this important institution.

    Support The Africa Centre’s fundraising campaign

    And support doesn’t have to look the same for everyone.

    If you are able to donate, donate.

    If you cannot donate right now, share the campaign.

    If you have a platform, amplify it.

    If you are connected to potential funders, philanthropists, businesses or institutions, make the introduction.

    If you have benefited from The Africa Centre or from the wider ecosystem of African and Black cultural institutions, tell people why these spaces matter to you.

    Sometimes solidarity looks like money.

    Sometimes it looks like an introduction.

    Sometimes it looks like a repost.

    Sometimes it looks like simply refusing to let something important disappear quietly.

    Our heritage. Our future.

    There is a tendency to think of cultural institutions as something that can be dealt with later, something nice to have once the more urgent needs have been addressed.

    But culture, community and belonging aren’t luxuries.

    They are part of the infrastructure through which communities survive, connect and thrive.

    The spaces we build today shape what becomes possible tomorrow.

    That is why protecting The Africa Centre is not only about preserving the past. It is about investing in the future.

    At Bounce Black, we are proud to stand with The Africa Centre as a collaborator and friend.

    We hope our community will join us.

    This is our Africa Centre.
Our heritage.
Our future!

    And if you can’t donate, sharing the campaign can still make a difference.

  6. The fat, orange cunt can always "do a deal" with the up and coming #African Continent teams, they seemed keen to sign-up. You remember them Mr. #PedoPresident.. the ones you called "shit house countries"?

  7. This is unavoidable and it's a consequence of the hundreds of years that countries like #Spain, #Belguim, #Britain, #France, #Italy, and #TheNetherlands, just to name a few, raped the #SouthAmerican, #Asian, and #African continents for almost a thousand years and now they expect people to stay in their lane. Well it ain't happening and they need to accept the consequences of their actions.

  8. #Tunisia’s exports to #COMESA markets surged 50.2% between 2019 & 2025, rising from TND 1.9bn to nearly TND 2.86bn & imports also grew by nearly 39%, reflecting country's deeper integration into #African markets through COMESA & #AfCFTA, according to the Trade Minister. #TAP_En
