A Call for ReGeneration

In the face of numerous fundamental challenges in Western society, the Afrikan collective seeks solutions to transform their circumstances. These circumstances, which they did not create, have placed an important responds-ability on their shoulders to necessary changes nonetheless.

As a result of individual self-education, there has been a resounding call for reorganization and mobilization. The concept centers on the belief that by restructuring our community, mindset, and cultural identity, we can harness them as potent tools to regain strength and ultimately shape a new reality.

Within the ReGeneration180 movement, the core idea is that regeneration is the path to restoring global balance— a task that solely resides within the spirit of Afrikan people. Our system is founded on the commitment to providing proper education and nurturing the development of Afrikan youth. It finds support from families, black-owned enterprises, donors, and like-minded organizations who share our shared values

What is ReGeneration?

The term 'regenerate' encompasses multiple meanings. In essence, it signifies a profound change for the better, the birth of a renewed spirit, or the restoration of energy to its original source. As an increasing number of Afrikan individuals start to embrace the importance of a regenerative process in education, a fundamental shift must and will occur in HOW we raise and educate our children.

Our objective is not to "redo" or "re-create" something idealized from the past. Instead, we have reflected on how humans were nurtured and educated before world colonization. It demands a fresh mindset, a revised set of values, and a novel approach to our connections in order to lead us out of these current predicaments. Our children will continue to endure the consequences of the ordinary (Western, Eurocentric) educational system. However, today, we put forth our proposition that ReGenerative Development & Education holds the power to reignite the inherent brilliance and innate potential within every Afrikan child.

The youth of Afrikan descent in the 21st century urgently require an exceptional educational experience that nurtures their holistic development as Afrikan individuals. Culture and psychology are not universally applicable, and therefore, education should not be constrained by the illusion of uniformity either. Thus, our educational approaches for Black children must be intentional and African-Centered, prioritizing our rich indigenous thought and philosophy. This approach places the Afrikan child at the heart of their learning journey, tending to their needs, aspirations, and desires while solving the problems of the Afrikan collective. This extraordinary approach surpasses what Eurocentric schooling could EVER offer our youth. It remains relevant and thoughtfully designed to evolve and meet the needs until we get the job done.
