You are woke to wake others, and the very essence of this renaissance is to awaken, to create, and to impact our society positively. In these times of great reckoning, there arises an irrevocable call to break the shackles of colonial residues which for too long have diluted our self-definition. We stand on the threshold of a new dawn, one that demands the training and nurturing of a new generation ,a generation devoid of colonial thought, a generation of towering minds who shall become the vanguard of Afrocentric ideals.
This new generation must be thoroughly engrossed with Afrocentrism : a philosophy anchored in the restoration of our collective dignity and an unapologetic celebration of our own epistemologies. It is a generation that will prioritise the sacred interests of our people, lifting them from the abyss of dependency to the heights of self-sustaining glory.
I speak of a generation that will take up the baton with a fervent determination, catalysing our growth while advancing the legacies of our revered progenitors .The mission is clear: to build on the intellectual, technological, scientific, and spiritual wealth our ancestors had sown ,to elevate Afrikan ingenuity to heights yet unimagined.
The new generation must become the standard-bearers of a reawakened Afrikan knowledge system, restoring the very codes of our worldview that colonial doctrines sought to erase. In doing so, they shall be the master craftsmen of a society that holds fast to its heritage, yet equally determined to project its brilliance on the global stage.
We must, therefore, prepare the fertile ground from which these thought leaders shall rise, ensuring they inherit the confidence to challenge the status quo, and the wisdom to reconstruct it in the image of our ancestors’ dreams. They must be steeled with courage to resist imported paradigms that do not serve our collective growth, and instead usher new narratives that reflect the unbroken spirit of our people.
Let this renaissance become the forging ground of minds inspired by Afrikan science, technology, arts, crafts, and spiritual insight. Let them become the shining beacons of a pan-Afrikan consciousness .
The future rests in our hands, but it will be carried on the shoulders of a generation that knows no master but its own conscience and no mission but the elevation of Afrikan destiny.
