“We must all see ourselves as the Blessings of Africa, a blessed people being empowered through skill development, community development, education, job creation, utilizing our talents to produce a surplus in our rich Continent. We are not helpless, we are not lazy, and we are not depending on others for handouts. Africa is Blessed, so are we!

Men, women, boys, girls, old, and young are all the Blessings of Africa. We are not to compete unwholesomely and unnecessarily to drag each other down. We are to come together, complement one another, unite, work together to transform our motherland because We Are Stronger Together!”

-Dr. Queen Blessing Itua (Founder)
