I AM OFFICIALLY ON YOUTUBE!
On February 1, 2023, the first day of Black History Month, I officially launched my YouTube channel as a way to disrupt the attack on African & African American Studies in America and to TAKE THE AFRICAN NARRATIVE BACK FROM THOSE WHO HAVE HIJACKED IT!
So, join me on YouTube as I let the world know that the story of Africa is for Africans to tell, and we are here to tell it! #WeknowAfrica #4Real #4Real and #YouCantBanBlack.

The Real Africanist is super excited about bringing the "Real" African story to the wonderful world of YOUTUBE. WATCH ME NOW!

ABOUT
THE A.S.P.E.C.T MODEL
I learned early on that African stories are distorted and controlled through the blatant and repetitive use of FALSE, NEGATIVE & BIAS INFORMATION. To right this wrong, I developed a system of education & communication techniques that transform how the African story is shared with the world. LEARN MORE>

BEST BLACK BOOK LIST EVER.
I'm a staunch advocate of reading, and there are tons of books out there on Africa and the African Diaspora. But if you're looking for a "real" good read, written from a well-rounded Pan African perspective, here are some that I highly recommend!
It's important to read about Africa, but it's more important to #Read About Africa #4Real4Real.
BLACK LIVES TAKEN TOO SOON. KNOW THEIR NAMES. SAY THEIR NAMES.

THAT AFRICA LIFE IN PICTURES☀
"Africa is a dynamic place! Yet like most, it has challenges. It's the young people, however, that fuel my optimism about Africa's future. When I'm in Africa, I feel change in the air-I see it on the ground-and this makes me happy. It also makes me want to get it all on camera." #IamMarieYaJouf and #ILoveThatAfricaLife

SO honored to meet the one and only #Wode Maya! Maya's commitment to changing the African narrative has reshaped perceptions about Africa! But, for me, the most important thing that Maya has done is to increase the self-esteem of young Africans and highlight the positives and possibilities that Africa has to offer! #TheAncestorsAreProud!
*My Girl Bukola, Me, Maya
Congratulations - Annoying Village Boy! You are so deserving of the "Excellence in Tourism Award". #KeepWinning #WodeMaya. When you win, we all win! And most importantly - Africa Wins!

Wow! Couldn't believe Miss Trudy was also in the house! I think my smile says it all! I was so excited to meet Africa's Vlogging Phenom and to tell her how much I respect the way she takes care of her Dad! My Father is in the Ancestral realm, but I'm a Daddy's girl too! Much Luv Miss Trudy (Mrs. Trudy-Maya)! #YouRock

LEARN AFRICA. LOVE AFRICA. LOVE YOU.
There's an Ancient African Proverb that says,
"What you help a child to love can be more important than what you help him to learn."
True. But "what you help an African Diasporan child to learn & love are equally important because so many are taught to love everything other than themselves & where they come from." Marie Ya Jouf #ITeachAfrica4Real #EachOneTeachOne
