Culturalist Mission Statement

My mission is to examine, interpret, and teach the hidden and visible architectures that shape collective consciousness—particularly as they relate to African presence, power, and symbolism in media, history, and imagination.

Through lectures, writing, and cultural analysis, I explore Afrofuturism, fantasy, and mythic narrative as tools for understanding how images, stories, and symbols influence identity, behavior, and social order. This work emphasizes media literacy, critical interpretation, and the recovery of African-centered perspectives within global visual culture.

I focus on the study of social structures and power systems—including ancient and modern institutions such as kingship, political authority, fraternal orders, and secret societies—examining how governance operates both publicly and invisibly, through symbols, rituals, narratives, and social conditioning.

At its core, this mission is about conscious participation: helping individuals and communities recognize how meaning is constructed, how power is transmitted, and how culture can be reclaimed as a site of sovereignty, imagination, and future-making.
