| Mbongi Assembly |
|
| Mbongi, a Bantu Kongo term, was a way of structurally 1) gathering together the best minds and practices; 2) taking, seizing or accepting responsibility for solving and resolving the problematics of the African community; 3) capturing, critiquing and clarifying those “things which concern us dearly”, 4) exposing the “truth” of our reality as reflected in and represented by our spiritual, intellectual, social and artistic memory and creations; and, 5) uncovering, correcting and utilizing the core meaning and purpose of a people in the service of human development and well-being. The Mbongi Assembly institutionalizes the idea of a community of thinkers and activist having responsibility to take care of the welfare and well-being of its people. Some expected guests include prominent actors, producers, directors, Hip Hop journalists, rappers, and traditional African Healers from Nigeria, Ghana, Senegal, and Kongo |
