What of Cultural Leadership?

What have Afrikan souls been the leaders of as a norm throughout their history continuum? A magnificent and obvious answer is that they have led the establishment and flourishing of the greatest and most enduring civilisations ever to exist. Yet, this is the primary people of creation and led humanity into being. This is a pioneering people of brilliancy who pioneeringly led the way in creating and establishing culture in the first place.  The multitudinous array of grand and pioneering achievements led by Afrikan souls throughout their experience from the earliest of times are far too numerous to articulate even at a cursory level here. From age to age this people have demonstrated exceptional skills of leadership at every level of self-determined life expression.

According to a contemporary mainstream source the word leadership attracts the following definition:

 “Leadership is the ability of an individual or a group of people to influence and guide followers or members of an organization, society or team”.

Another mainstream source posits the following in relation to cultural leadership with the specific example of a company:

“Cultural leadership is a leadership style that articulates a vision for the way things are done in a company. It creates core values, builds the actions around these values, and turns everything into a routine that's practiced by everyone within the company”.

Bringing elements of these two definitions together and qualifying the resultant meaning with the identity of Afrikan, one might then articulate the following:

“Afrikan cultural leadership is a leadership style that articulates a vision for the way thing are done to influence and guide followers or members of an Afrikan organisation, society or team. It creates core values, builds the action around these values, and turns everything into a routine that’s practiced by everyone within that organisation, society or team”.

Whilst being of basic level, such an articulation can serve to highlight the vital realm of cultural leadership for Afrikan souls in a state of interruption and disruption. Especially, as others that mean the Afrikan ill may attempt to misguide Afrikan souls into destruction by peddling ‘leadership’ of harmful pseudo-cultures.

Afrikans must surely take the helm of their imperative thrust for upright ascension with their own genuine cultural leadership of empowerment steeped in rightful order. At the same time, souls can do themselves a great service in securing themselves against contaminants of ill and alien forces of ill who may seek to ‘muscle-in’ to thwart progress, creating havoc and destruction directly or by proxy.

Certainly, Afrikan cultural leadership does not exist in detachment for its own sake. Rather, it is has function and purpose. It can be seen as the guiding role in the bringing about of civilisation for soul people within its sphere. Here, one may translate Afrikan cultural leadership as Afrikan civilisation leadership. Perhaps shedding a more driving light on the remit of the role. For, civilisation is not of happenstance.
