The Art of Leadership
Simply, this is a must read book for any African who wants to start an organisation or is currently the leader of one.
The search for leadership is, in actuality, the search for definition, direction and destiny. In the book, Professor T'Shaka has laid out some ground rules and some definitions that need to be understood before a leader is chosen or considered. A leader, in the final analysis, is a people's messenger. The ultimate leadership is the collective leadership of the people. This volume contributes to the new literature of liberation and should be read with serious consideration.

Visibly Invisibe
Watch the trailer here
"Visibly/Invisible" looks at this term that is so implicit to Africa's identity by focussing on Africa's presence in Norway through the African History Week festival that takes place every year since 2004. This festival brings together artists from Africa and the Diaspora to acknowledge their history and the resultant positioning of Africans living inside and out of Africa today, using art and culture to facilitate healing amongst the many dislocated individuals and families.
This festival aims to acknowledge the complex configurations of Africans living in the Diaspora brought about by a history of slavery, by ancestors brought to build the great cities of the so-called West and by Africans displaced by war, famine and political unrest, all pointing an unwavering finger at colonization and the brutal legacy that has spawned this strife.
