It is imperative for all within the Afro Diaspora to understand the meaning behind the struggle to retain Afro intellectual properties. The ownership of Intellectual is a key pillar towards the economic success of the Afro Diaspora. Without it, the barriers towards achieving self-sufficiency will continue to remain insurmountable. We’ve heard similar stories one to many times, it’s not sew to the Afro community. It is time for the diaspora to stand, reacquire and retain the identity of its past present and future existence. If some other entity owns your ideas it also, owns your present and future value, ultimately your life.
