Our Children's Network: John Henry Pt. 1

A'kure-- Let's Heal A Nation!

In the beginning, there was an idea to create something so beautiful, so amazing, and oh so necessary... but wait, where do we start? How do we begin to create; nonetheless, express this phenomenon that so many of us unconsciously yearn for. (myself included)

Our legacy, our purpose, and our motivation to thrive has been severed for far too long. Now is the time to rediscover our foundation.

Our Children's Network, a grassroots movement, was founded to reconnect our children and community to whom we come from; through education and entertainment (ed-u-tainment) It's time that we reach our fullest potential.

We are smart enough to know that we cannot do this alone; however, we pray that this blog will inspire you to support and see this movement through.

Thank you.
