3:05

3:24
I am welcoming first and foremost, her Royal Majesty. I mean not to
3:30
quite, and I just hope that everything is still working with our systems and
3:38
that everyone is able to hear us clearly. Could we just hear from you?
3:42
You're mat Thank you, Thank you so much, Doctor chen Zero for
3:45
allowing me the pleasure of joining you today. I'm so honored to be here.
3:49
Thank you for giving me this opportunity, and I'm grateful as well.
3:53
And I like to go to the formal portion first, just so that we
3:59
can make sure that we are asking for that vibration of engaging, vibe of
4:05
unity and love as we welcome her Royal Majesty, Aminata Quoita the Sadaunia Queen
4:15
of the Kingdom of Furaby Ashanti of Ghana. Her Royal Majesty, who is
4:23
Queen of the kingdom, traditional leader and an ardent advocate of human development rooted
4:29
in cultural values. Her role Majesty is the first queen in the history of
4:33
the full of a Kingdom of Ashanti, Ghana, which dates back hundreds of
4:39
years, thus making her appointment historical and monumental. She is a transcontinental business
4:47
owner of two corporations and two angios. Some call her a global Taekunista and
4:56
a world renowned speaker. She is often requested you speak across the globe about
5:01
human rights and women's empowerment as she is an advocate of human and women's rights,
5:09
girl child education and equality and has a goal to help the African continent
5:15
develop modern farming and ranching. Her Royal Majesty, Queen I Mean Nata has
5:23
served the community in different capacities in the past twenty years and champion many projects.
5:30
She has served in several non private organizations and duos, politics and private
5:35
businesses. One of her best achievements is as the founder and former CEO of
5:43
Blackwall Street Arizona, Inc. She has assisted many entrepreneurs and businesses by increasing
5:51
their efficiency and productivity. Under her leadership, BW I'm going to get that
6:00
together initiated the first African inspired festival called Diaspora Day Arizona, which was honored
6:09
by Mayor of the City of Phoenix and proclaimed it diasphort Day. To streamline
6:15
her causes, she founded the startup Unia International Development Organization in twenty twenty three,
6:23
and she has been able to do charitable work for children, the youth,
6:28
women in education, health care, community empowerment, and the advancement of
6:33
good cultural values and practices for sustainable development. She is an icon and a
6:39
champion who was highly regarded in society for her leadership in mobilizing, sensitizing,
6:45
and empower youth, women and children, including children with disabilities, and for
6:49
advancing who Lapoux as a strategic approach in all programs and projects that empowers individuals
6:59
to claim their cultural heritage and encourages the use of cultural values as an engine
7:06
for human development. You still see how far this would continue just in terms
7:12
of the various skills, talents, and expertise that her romanticity provides us with.
7:17
So just listening to those seeing her groundings as the co founder member of
7:25
this Black Wall Street African Ltd. You know, being part of these international
7:30
chairs around architect agriturism even in the continent, in being part of these African
7:38
Indigenous Governance Council, the African Women's Health Initiative. The list is quite long,
7:44
and I'm sure it will continue. But with that, I'd like us
7:46
to at least welcome with all of the grace, honest and migrations of engagement.
7:56
Thank you, interesting, thank you so much. Ultimately, after all
8:03
of that, we could have easily just said and thank you and tonight just
8:09
just sharing some of the work that you've done and engaged in. And I'm
8:13
very appreciative that this gives us an opportunity, this whole energy that we bring
8:18
in terms of building a new legacy and being able to speak in regard to
8:24
the type of work we're already engaged in in the ways that others that may
8:28
have that same interest may be a part of that to even make it greater.
8:33
That was the conversations that we were having, and I would love for
8:37
you to share, you know, some of the group portions that made you
8:43
establish these various non governmental organizations that allow you to do this type of charitable
8:48
work as you desire. Please thank you. So my desire to serve humanity
8:56
started at a young age because my parents and were involved in that kind of
9:01
thing, so I was kind of raised up in it. But as we
9:03
travel the world, you know, oftentimes we only know what we're in right
9:07
our little bubble that we live in. But when you start traveling, which
9:11
I was traveling with my parents, probably started in my early twenties, late
9:15
teens, and you go around the world and you can see the conditions of
9:20
African people all over the world. It's heartbreaking. And so rather than sit
9:28
around and talk about it or complain about it, or you know, be
9:33
in the space and not do anything, I said, what can I do
9:37
in my little capacity to enrich the lives of our people globally, because no
9:41
matter where you go on this planet, we're at the bottom. Even in
9:45
countries where we are the majority, we're still suffering and at the bottom.
9:50
So for me, I think it's important that when we are when the universe
9:54
places us in a position, that we are to be responsible for that position
9:58
and give back because we weren't elevated to the status we're at just to sit
10:01
and glorify ourselves and take it all in for ourselves. We're put in places
10:05
for a reason, and I believe this is my calling, this is why
10:09
I was created and put on this planet, to make a difference in whatever
10:13
capacity that is, no matter how small, because if you can change and
10:18
influence the life of one person, then it's all worth it. So for
10:20
me, the motivation came from being in the spaces and making a point to
10:24
get out and get out of the tourist areas and get to where the people
10:28
are, get to know the people, talk to the people, learn about
10:31
the cultures and traditions, and when you start doing that thing, it changes
10:35
you and it changes you in a magnificent way that you never even would have
10:41
thought possible. So for me, my motivation was just that getting around,
10:45
going around and seeing the different conditions that our people were in, talking to
10:48
the people and really listening for what they're saying. Fantastic, give thanks for
10:56
sharing that, just you know, it's wonderful hearing that. That was the
11:01
manner in which you were able to be immersed in the culture, in the
11:05
traditions, in the heritage, and then all of the different more ways and
11:11
other things that brought all of that together, like as a tapestry that's phenomenal,
11:18
simply phenomena. And what are some of the various opportunities that you see
11:24
need to be more pronounced. What are some things that are going well in
11:30
regard to persons being able to either engage with reconnections and relationships with African communities,
11:39
African businesses, etc. And also bringing it across into the Caribbean as
11:46
well as Central and South America in addition to North America, because there's a
11:50
lot of pollination in those other areas. What are some things you suggest?
11:54
So for me, what I would suggest to people, what I like to
11:58
say to people is you really need to do some self healing and reflection on
12:05
yourself before you jump into this kind of work, because it's really it's a
12:09
lot, right, it's a lot to port into other people. So you
12:13
really have to be in a somewhat healthy space for yourself, and then you
12:16
need to find out what is it that you're passionate about, because there's something
12:20
for everyone, right, So if it's if it's education, then jump in
12:26
the education field and do your work in education. If it's entrepreneurship, then
12:31
jump in the entrepreneurship lane and go to work. So really, what I
12:35
would suggest for people is to whatever your passion is. If it's children,
12:39
if it's young boys, if it's working with troubled youth, then you get
12:43
in that lane, get yourself geared up, put on your arm or get
12:46
in there and you fight and you do what you need to do to make
12:50
a difference in the lives of the people in the area that you're passionate about,
12:54
because at that point it's not going to seem so draining and it's not
12:56
gonna seem like work because you're going to be enjoying it because it's your purpose,
13:01
you're passionate about it, you're giving it your all, and you'll be
13:03
surprised at how that will be received because people will feel that energy when you're
13:09
vibrating on a higher level because it's something that you're passionate about. It's going
13:13
to be successful and people will receive it and it's going to be fulfilling,
13:16
not just for those that you're serving, but for you as well. Thank
13:20
you so much for sharing that. And there are a number of times,
13:24
you know, whether it's through activities within the permanent forum for people of African
13:31
descent, you know, various convenience through the United Nations and other associations and
13:39
configurations of ways that persons are beginning to look at recognition, justice and development
13:46
and a broader scale. I would love to also ask of you to just
13:52
share, you know, what we're what are some of the priorities that you,
13:56
your organizations, your circle and see as to be of essence in terms
14:05
of us moving forward if you were to have some that you would prioritize.
14:09
So in my kingdom right now, what we're focusing on is a couple of
14:13
things education and girl child really bought children. Let me just say children,
14:22
because we don't want to ever leave our boys, our young men out.
14:26
So in my kingdom, not just my kingdom kind of this is all across
14:31
South America, all across the continent of Africas in India, everywhere. The
14:35
issue of period poverty. It's a very serious issue because when our young girls
14:41
are on their mensis, they can't go to school because they don't have products.
14:45
So you know, if you don't go to school, you can't finish
14:46
school. That impacts the rest of your life. So we have embarked on
14:50
a campaign to raise fund so that we can provide these sanitary supplies to the
14:56
young girls. And along with that, we're trying to not trying to re
15:00
are doing, we're educating our young boys to get rid of the stigma of
15:03
the monthly mensies because there's a stigma in some of these lower income communities,
15:09
these underdeveloped communities and where the girls feel ostracized and the boys don't understand that
15:15
this is a natural, healthy process that girls go through and it enables you
15:18
to have children and all these things, so we always want to incorporate education
15:24
into that. We're also the major thing is we're doing is we are focusing
15:28
on setting up mobile medical clinics for our women in youth because they don't have
15:33
access to get to hospitals because they live in remote areas. So those are
15:37
the two big things in my kingdom right now that we're focusing on is the
15:41
education component enabling our youth to go to school and the medical health issue.
15:48
Excellent. Thank you so much for sharing that because and please make sure that
15:52
we have you know in our chats in the comments as we're moving forward,
15:56
you know, websites for persons to be able to get more information about what's
16:02
being done ways to be able to offer their respective support and to at least
16:07
be able to share this narrative of what is really happening on the ground,
16:11
what resources are being requested for what, and how we can assist. The
16:15
whole idea is this unity. We have to bring our unity within various communities.
16:23
And I'm not trying to just run but I'm just saying that unity is
16:27
really important right now. So thank you so much for sharing that. And
16:32
what are some other areas like with your education component? Is that like an
16:38
institutionalized type of arrangement or is that something that's more open ended for persons that
16:47
are involved in various works within your kingdom. It's a little bit of both.
16:52
So my kingdom is not very wealthy. We're struggling, and so for
16:59
the children and that are lucky enough to be able to finish what we would
17:04
call high school secondary school, they don't have the money to go to college.
17:08
And so these students, these young kids end up on the street.
17:11
And you know, with that an idle mind, you know what they say
17:15
about that, it creates problems, right, So what we're trying to do
17:18
is make some agreements with the local technical community colleges and the technical universities,
17:23
and we're still in talks for it, but it looks like it's going to
17:26
go well. So that we're trying to partner with professionals that work in different
17:32
fields like automotive fields, electrical fields, sewing, canning, foods, clothes
17:37
making and fabrics and these kind of things so that we can get our students
17:41
some on the job training, just like as if they were going to school,
17:45
and then they would be able to test at the university and then if
17:48
they pass the test, the university will go ahead and certify them after two
17:52
years of on the job training if they can pass the tests and give them
17:56
the certification for a smaller price than it will cost for them to actually go
18:00
to the university. We're working really hard to finish that and make that go
18:03
through because I think that would be really helpful in giving our youth some skills
18:08
that would be able to give them employment or they can even start their own
18:12
business or whatever. But at this point, they really need some skills and
18:17
they need some help with that. So we have gone out to different people
18:19
in the community who are skilled and professional in those areas and ask them to
18:23
partner with us to train our youth. Excellent, excellent, and that is
18:30
fantastic. That's the type of engagement that is essential throughout all of these different
18:37
regions. I think what you've shared with us is just exceptional and we're grateful
18:42
to know that that is already in process. It's something that's already being done.
18:48
And with more engagement and more knowledge that persons are aware that these things
18:52
are happening, how can they help, how can they support so it can
18:56
become even greater? And it's spready to farther giving thanks Giving, Thanks,
19:02
Yes, are there some other areas that perhaps happeny and I have asked of
19:07
you, that are places where you feel that we should be able to present
19:12
that in a wider space. What are some projects that are coming? And
19:18
please do not let us forget any websites come in fact, thanks We are
19:26
celebrating our Lamido, which means king in our language in the Fula language.
19:30
His throne anniversary is coming up this November, so we are inviting all those
19:36
in the diaspora and across the continent to come back home to Ghana. We
19:40
have a whole nine or nine or ten days set up. It's from November
19:44
ninth through the nineteenth set up to take you guys on do all the historical
19:48
stuff. So you'll be going to both Elmina and Cape Coast castles learning about
19:52
the history there. You'll be going to I'manaso place where they the slaves took
19:59

20:03
dreadful dungeons. You'll be participating in a traditional African naming ceremony, so everyone
20:08
that goes will leave with an African name. Of course, you'll get to

do all the shopping and things like that. You'll be going to Kwame and
20:17

the king that I serve next to. And then we're gonna culminate all of
20:36
that with a banquet with African royalty from around Ghana from the different kingdoms,
20:41
because you know, Ghana has multiple kingdoms there, so there's gonna be different
20:45
cultures there with their different cultural dress and garments, so you're gonna get to
20:49
learn about all the many different cultures that exist in Ghana as in addition to
20:56
doing the historical stuff. And what I've been telling people is if you've not
20:59

21:03
do that, because it's very sole healing. When you touch down on that

and it's a part of the return for many. For some it may be
24:18
the first time. For others that may be repeated visit. But this is
24:22
a great opportunity and we're very grateful, very very grateful. Thank you so
24:30
much for just being able to share that. I have one more, small,
24:34
small, small question, because I think that I can really enjoy this
24:41
whole discourse moving into some other areas. What are some of your plans in
24:49
the immediate future in terms of doing certain things throughout the region. On your
24:56
in addition to what you're going to be hosting in Ghana, other opportunities for
25:02
persons to be able to have exchanges be a part of some of this work.
25:07
To think you share according with things of course. So my organization,
25:12
the Sodonia International Development Organization, which I formed in just last year so that
25:17
I could bring all of my programs together. We're currently looking for people to
25:21
help us because the diaspora is huge. So if you want to get involved
25:25
and you want to serve in any capacity, please please reach out to us
25:30
so that we can have a conversation see what it is that you're interested in
25:33
and how we can work together. Because I'm all about collaboration. I'm all
25:37
about collaboration, So it doesn't matter where you live in the diaspora, We're
25:42
going to work with you and try to bring you in. If you live
25:47
on the continent of Africa, we also have a branch in Africa. In
25:49
Ghana. His Majesty also has an organization called Sulubaba which means of my father's
25:56
house. He would love to have some people come on board. We do
26:00
have projects ongoing there. So if you live in Ghana, join us.
26:06
I mean the more the merrier because Ghana, you know, there's about thirty
26:08
million people living there, so the more people we have on board, the
26:11
more people we can serve in whatever capacity. If you want to come on
26:17
the trip, if you're looking for business opportunities but you don't know who to
26:21
talk to, or you're looking to repatriate back and buy land, I'm going
26:25
to tell you that you need to know somebody because you know there's things can
26:29
happen that aren't right, okay, So I if that's what you're interested in,
26:33
reach out to us. We can help you get connected to the right
26:34
people to make sure that you actually get what you paid for and you don't
26:38
get taken advantage of because you know, it's all about connections and protecting one
26:44
another rightful for that information. And that's what we're moving in the direction of
26:49
being able to have that kind of return to the whole discourse work and getgement
27:00
these types of exchanges where we can speak about how do we move forward.
27:07
You've given us a number of examples of things that are in progress, what
27:11
are some intentions, and then some things for the future or things that require
27:17
long term implementations. Steps that we're still moving in the direction forward. I'm
27:22
so grateful for that. I'm really really grateful for that. If you have
27:27
any and closing or reflective inquiries or comments that you'd like to share with our
27:37
viewers our listeners, I would welcome that. Thank you. In closing what
27:45
I would like to say, I just want to encourage everybody to let's walk
27:51
in the name of love. And I want to encourage our women out there
27:53
because I experienced this a lot, and I'm sure it doesn't just happen with
27:59
women, but because I'm a woman, I'm addressing my sisters. The next
28:02
sister that you see sitting next to you is not your competition. She's your
28:06
sister. Let's love up on one another, and let's encourage one another.
28:11
Let's support one another, and let's get involved. And like I said earlier,
28:15
