And now I want to officially welcome everybody to our we do these monthly we call these these monthly conversations of course there’s a a history of me doing these uh with black millionaires right that that’s how this thing got started conversations with black millionaires and entrepreneurs and
Thought leaders but we really wanted to expand this and not just uh have this narrow uh view of these interviews in terms of Business and Entrepreneurship because I personally have a philosophy that Business and Entrepreneurship is really one and the same it’s the science of life right if
If you know the science of life you kind of know the science of business if you know the science of business you kind of know the science of life and it’s all intertwined in how we live our lives how we feel about ourselves uh I was asking
Dr BR off camera I’m G ask him again on camera uh because we all have some experience of some of the things that Dr Browder shared with us over the years and and has given us some terminology uh that we could use and i’ asked him a
Question off camera I’m G come back to that in just one second um but I believe it’s all the same and so these are conversations with with the masters of of not just business but life in business those who’ve been able to uh put in the work and help us to elevate
Ourselves and improve ourselves and and as Dr Frasier likes to say move the needle forward and so I’m extremely excited uh to have this conversation with Dr Browder today uh one of the books that really got me started on my my journey uh along with you know Dr
Frasier’s book success runs in our race and and Dr Kimo’s book thinking Grow Rich uh and what makes the great great um it was this book a brother Threw It on on my bed and said hey man here you need you need to read this and it was
Called the I said what is this the brouter files what what what is this book here right and my mind was blown after reading the Browder files right and so I want to make sure that we you look up Professor Dr you’ll see it in in different areas Professor Dr Anthony
Tony broud I want to give you the full name because I don’t want you to miss the The Well of knowledge that Dr Browder possesses and that you can glean so much Insight of our history and as much as everybody’s talking about the motherland nowadays and going back again we don’t have too
Many people who actually have that firsthand experience that firsthand knowledge of the continent to give us all of the intricate details the intricate history um and so that’s why I’m I’m just over the moon uh this evening preparing to talk to my brother we call him brother Tony but
I want to be very respectful Dr Browder this evening so let me read the bio and then we’ll go ahead and jump in and again if you’re just joining if you just joined a few minutes late this is also being streamed on Facebook if you want
To go on your fa on my Facebook page brother Bedford and share it out so that more people can hear what Dr Browder has to share with us this evening please feel free to do that if you want to pass on the zoom link right now to family and
Friends you need to go ahead and text them email them I don’t know Instagram what’s whatever you do let them know that Dr Anthony Browder is on right now and he’s sharing some valuable information with us on true black history as we close our black history
Mon so let me go ahead and get through the bio real quick then I’ll ask my couple questions and then I’mma open it up to you uh so that you can talk to Dr Browder yourself so Anthony T Browder is an author publisher cultural historian he’s an artist and an educational
Consultant he is a graduate of Howard University’s college of fine arts and has lectured extensively throughout the United States Africa Caribbean Mexico Japan Europe on all issues related to African and African-American history and culture Mr Browder is the founder and director of ikg cultural resources and has devoted 30 years researching ancient
Egyptian history science philosophy and culture he has traveled to Egypt 54 times since 1980 and I believe it’s a little bit more than that now I think this is probably a couple years date I think he’s gone more than that now and it’s currently director of the ASA which
Is Asa and we’ll talk about that uh the ASA restoration project which is funding the excavation and restoration of the 25th Dynasty tomb of car kumin I believe I’m pronouncing that right you you’ll correct me Dr Brower when you get on in luxer Egypt uh Mr Browder is the first
African-American to fund I want you to listen to this he’s the first African-American to fund and coordinate an archaeological dig in Egypt and has conducted 23 archaeological missions to Egypt since 2009 Mr browder’s three decades of study have led him to the conclusion that ancient Africans were the architects of
Civilization and developed the rudiments of what has become the scientific religious and philosophical backbone of mankind it is from this framework that ikg has concentrated its research and disseminated its findings through ikg Mr Browder sponsors lectures seminars cultural field trips of Washington DC publish he publishes his research and has conducted Study
Tours in Egypt West Africa South Africa and Mexico since 1987 he is the author of six Publications including the bestsellers from the Browder file that’s the book that I was mentioned to you all and now Valley contributions to civilization and the co-author of six Publications including two written with his now 35y
Old daughter Atlantis Thai I believe that is how it’s pronounced all of Mr browder’s Publications are currently being used in classrooms around the world and Tony is an autodidact and describes himself a chronicler of facts and information relative to the positive portrayal of the worldwide African experience and without further
Ado I want to introduce to some of you represent to some of you Dr Anthony Tony Browder how you doing sir I’m good brother bford and thank you for the introduction thank you for the invitation to be on your show and and um judging from the date the the age uh you
Stated of my daughter when you read my bio I can tell you that bio is uh five years old okay so um I’ve written a few more books since then I’ve been to Egypt a few more times since then and I’ve been doing this work for uh gosh I’ve been doing this work
For 44 years but have been studying on my own for 47 years W so this has been my business I’ve been blessed to have made this work my business and um I love it I love it I’ll be doing this for the rest of my life Wow you know and that’s
You see you already sparked the question I told I just want to listen to to to to uh Dr Browder and he already sparked a question because I’m always telling people in in our community and some of these are members of the mob the masters of business Network and Mastermind
Community who are on in in then others are just people have been following my work and and being a part of the power networking conference for years but one of the things that I always say Professor Browder is the idea of finding your your work and then building a life
And career or business around that and you just said something similar to that you said this is your business right this is your work this is your passion so when did you discover that this was your passion and then you wrapped it into your career or your entrepreneurial
Pursuits sure well to be honest with you I realized early in life several years after graduating from college that I never wanted to work for anybody I wanted to work for myself so I’ve been self-employed since 1979 and my first uh career was as a graph designer uh my
Major is in graph design and advertising I graduated from Howard University in 1974 and doing that work allowed me the flexibility to raise enough money to do the things that I wanted to do and at that time um 1979 1980 I wanted to learn about who I was as a person of African
Ancestry uh 47 years ago last Wednesday on February the 21st 1977 I met Ivan vanera for the first time he had just published his book that came before Columbus the African presence in America and was speaking at Georgetown law school and I heard Dr Van Cera say that
Uh the ancient Egyptians who had built ships navigated the Nile River the Atlantic Ocean and made multiple visits to uh to Mexico 2 200 years before Christopher Columbus was born he said that these ancient Egyptians were black and this was the first time in my life
Anyone had ever told me that the ancient Egyptians were black it contradicted everything that I had read in every book everything that I had learned in school and that began my quest to uncover what I refer to as forbidden knowledge that ultimately led to my making my first trip to Egypt in
1980 I spent 13 days on the Nile with Dr Ben I saw the physical evidence which is documented that I had been miseducated and I decided to use my graphic design and advertising skills to teach my people what I was learning and in 1981 I established my second uh business
Ikg and uh 1987 I closed my design studio and devoted my time 100% to doing this work so I’ve used my graphic design and advertising skills to create my presentations uh to write design and publish my own books so that I have total control of my product and as a
Consequence uh we’ve been able to influence you know tens of thousands of people uh around the world who like me are discovering information that we would never taught and that has been one of the greatest rewards of my life Wow and this is this is phenomenal because I’m I’m listening to
You share with us how you started in in one area of business using your your your your gifts your talents and your skills but it it literally funded something else that was burning in you and and I’m sure it wasn’t easy right so a lot of the we use the term newbies or
People who are just getting into the space of Entrepreneurship and business sometimes can’t go through that that earlier stage of development to where they can begin to realize some type of of profit or at least cash flow to continue to grow and evolve so my question to you real quick on that since
Uh again this is a new I didn’t know I was going to ask you about this in terms of your entrepreneurial career but I’m sure during the graphic design phase and making the transition to what you have been doing for the past 30 plus years um was not an easy transition can you
Explain how were you able to navigate the ups and downs and building what you knew you were passionate about and you wanted to share with your people well brother Beford uh I have to disagree with you on that point it was easy oh wow it’s easy for me because definitely
New Perspective uh because I was fortunate I’ve always been a curious person and I’ve always wondered how things work why things work and um as I was into my first year of of doing my graphic design work and the challenge for me then was coming up with ideas that would satisfy
My clients and being fearful of going into a meeting and the client not being uh satisfied with the the the products that I was introducing to them and me not getting a paycheck and I realized that that that fear of something that wasn’t real was preventing me from doing
My work and one evening I I uh as as I realized that I was holding myself back I reflected on my childhood and the time that I spent as a young boy in the presence of my grandfather I can say with 100% certainty that my creativity comes from my grandfather I was the
First um grandchild born in my family and grew up with my grandfather as my primary male role model my grandfather um wasn’t very well educated but he was a creative person who could build anything he was a he was a brick mason he was a carpenter and he can build
Anything and I was always his assistant I was getting the hammer and the nails and and holding the 2×4 as he was swing it and I recall him building bookcases and and things around the house and I remember I never saw my grandfather sketch out or or Draw out what he was
Going to build wow I noticed that he always had the finished product in my mind so as I was reflecting on my grandfather’s creativity I imagined myself as my grandfather and seeing my grand seeing what my grandfather saw seeing the finished product and that opened the door for me in that I
Realized that I could do the same thing myself and I I recall as clear as day uh seeing myself uh in in in the meditation seeing myself meeting with my client and watching my client select the designs that I was printing I was presenting to them for for logo letterhead and you
Know a basic business package I saw my clients say oh I like this design and I kind of looked over my shoulder and saw the design and then created that design right and then in order to ensure that that incident unfolded the way that I had envisioned it I created two other
Designs that weren’t as good that would lead my client to that conclusion I went into that meeting with the client everything worked out just like I had seen it just like I had visualized it and that’s when the light bulb went out went off for me that’s when I realized
And this is something that that artists know um whether you’re an art whether you’re you draw you paint you dance you sing all artists create something from nothing what we’ve learned is that nothing is not nothing in the traditional sense of the word nothing is the source of everything right so if you
Can tap into the source of nothingness and see what it is you want grab that idea and then come back into a conscious State then all you do is build toward that’s that idea that is how I’ve been able to accomplish everything that I’ve done over the last 44 years I’m not an
Egyptologist by training I’m not an archaeologist by training I’m not a fundraiser by training but I’ve done all of these things as a result of becoming aware of and cultivating the ability to do what our ancestors have always done for thousands and thousands of years is Master the reality that we are the
Creators of our destiny and we when we accept that and allow ourselves to get into a fully creative mode then we have the capacity to see what it is that we have done or or will do in the future and then to move towards that reality and
When I say it’s simple I mean that brother pure and simple it is it is that simple this is information that we will never be taught in school yeah never be taught in in churches or our um fraternities or sororities or our Masonic lodges but this is information that the Builders of
Civilizations for thousands and thousands of years have known about and have passed on from mouth to ear for thousands of generations and this is our Birthright and this is something that hopefully I inspire people to want to become aware of and incorporate into their living so that we can truly become um the
Great Builders of of organizations and businesses and communities that we were um hundreds of years ago yeah this is so profound so so clearly my line of questioning has changed now you you’ve really taken me into an area that that but this is so profound um because you
Literally it sounds like you literally suspended the thing thinking that or the parameters that normally surrounds Us in terms of what we can and what we cannot do and you leaned into your natural creativity and literally created first the vision in your mind even walk I love the way that you talked
About you you even created I don’t want to call them lesser or inferior but products that weren’t as good as the one that you knew that they would take but you literally orch you laned into your creativity and you literally orchestrated this that made your life a lot easier instead of being worried
About fear what other people would say all of the noise that we hear you you had this sense to naturally lean into that meditative state to create or that creative power to build your life and career so brother Bradford I have um I use a term to describe that process and
I call it ancestral intelligence so what I have done is to cultivate and build out my ancestral intelligence I mentioned to you in that initial uh journey I thought about my grandfather who’s an ancestor right and then my grandfather pulled me into this this other world pulled me into this other
Dimension and what I’ve come to understand is all of us are living representatives of all of our ancestors all of us have their memories inside of us and what what miseducation what ens slavery uh enslavement was designed to do is to erase our historical and cultural memory and make us afraid of
And ashamed of our ancestors so we would disconnect ourselves from our authentic source of power I was blessed to have had an opportunity to discover what our oppressors sought to emit uh Emit and eliminate from from our state of being and this is something that U I said was
Easy for me and I truly understand that it can be as easy for anyone else if we get out of our way and allow ourselves to become our authentic selves and stop trying to copy stop trying to emulate those people who have made our lives and our ancestors lives a living hell wow
And and so I hope you all have written that down I don’t even know if you’ll be able to find a a definition for ancestral intelligence um can you give us your definition Dr BR because I I want to make sure that we’re hearing and understanding this from your perspective
Because I think this is profile so um we we let let me put it this way we know that the first Homo Sapient sapiens who lived on this planet lived in Africa and Africa alone at a a minimum of 200,000 years ago we know that the first Africans the first human beings walked
Out of Northeast Africa into Asia and populated Asia approximately uh 60,000 years ago we also understand that the same group of Northeast Africans walked into Western Asia the land mass that we now call Europe uh approximately uh 40 th000 years ago so just those two facts basically means or three facts basically
Mean the first human beings on the planet were African the first human beings in Asia were Africans the first human beings in Europe were Africans and geneticists have just recently identified when Africans in Europe lost their melanin mutated and became the people now classified as Caucasians and
What that means and and and so that occurred approximately 7 to 8,000 years ago so what that means essentially brother is that the people who have run our lives and determin our destiny for at least 20 Generations are the people who’ve been on this planet approximately
8,000 years right so we have access to 292,000 years of ancestral memory when we connect to that knowledge to that stream of Consciousness we have the capacity to become anything that we choose to become because we’ve already been those things in a previous lifetime we we carry that genetic memory and so
That is our superpower brother that is why we we still we’re still alive right now that is the reason why uh Europeans had to create racism and Jim Crow and segregation because they know that when the playing field is level and we have an opportunity to compete fairly against
Them we always rise to the top and and I submit to you and everyone listening that that is because of our connection with our ancestors so ancestral intelligence is the only AI that should matter to a conscious person of African ancestry we should not get caught up in other people’s artificial intelligence
When we have access to the greatest Archive of of intelligence in human history that is our Birthright and when we accept that Embrace that and live in harmony with that there is nothing that we cannot do primarily because there’s nothing that we have not done this is so
Profound because I don’t know this it’s all in divine order because we have I have a theme that I like to put before those who are in the network and Mastermind Community once a month and it’s interesting this coming up this March the theme that I had in mind was called master ing
Intelligence because there’s this conversation of course as you just mentioned about artificial intelligence but I also have people where we’re talking about emotional intelligence relational intelligence and here it is you just dropped this bomb so you know I’m gonna be pulling on you go ahead I
Need you to kind of help us as we go through this 30 days of mastering these different types of intelligence there can’t be anyone that’s more important that would help us to move forward than what you just shared with us right now so this is definitely going
To be something that we’ll be talking about throughout the rest of the month ancestral intelligence this this let me let me drop this on you and your listeners one of the ways that you cultivate and strengthen your ancestral intelligence your bond with um those family members who are no longer living
Is that you set up an altar you set up a space in your house table put a white cloth on it and you add pictures of your ancestors your parents if they’re deceased your grandparents siblings uh people whose lives add value to your your life and
Whose memory gives you a sense of calm and empowerment and that is the space where you go to commune with those Souls that you know love you uh unquestionably and have always had your best interest at heart in the tombs that we’ve excavated in there’s always a space in the Western
Wall of every tomb where there is this space that is a an ancestral altar or what we refer to as a spirit door for those of you all who saw um last year’s uh two hit movies uh the woman King and wakanda forever the woman King ended the
Same way wakanda forever began with a libation sequence where they were pour in liation to the ancestors and inviting the ancestors to be with them to strengthen them and to empower them I tell you brother that is our superpower and our oppressors understand that which is why they’ve done everything within their
Power to make us ashamed of ancestors or to believe that it’s Voodoo or or nonsense or Sac religious as long as we buy into their interpretation of our reality we will be subservient to them but once we know who we are and how to connect with those within our lineage
That are waiting for us to remember them and it’s the memory that that that’s important when you remember your ancestors when you call on them when you invite them to be a part of your life that is when that is when we tap into our true power and I I’ll leave this
With you uh these ancestors re reside in our genes right they reside in our genes and so this is the origin of the term of the concept genius a genius is someone who accesses these ancestral memories and stand Head and Shoulders above those who who have not cultivated that ability so this is
Something natural which all of us can do all we need to do is embrace it uh enact it and then we’ll see a profound change in the quality of our lives this is so profound I wanted to ask another question but I’m because you you’ve touched on this several times because
You’re known and I know that you you’ve you’ve given uh us this this phrase of how to kind of relate to you as being the memory recovery specialist right that’s and and to listen to you uh can continuously point to the fact that if we are able to recover that memory how
Powerful we can become all right so first give us the for those who are tuning in and probably never heard that term can you give us the definition or what you mean by you being a memory recovery specialist if we look at the history of African people we see that uh
Since our encounter with the European enslavement segregation discrimination Jim cor all of that the key to us being successfully controlled by our oppressor was the Eraser of our memory so our past was erased and the Eraser was forgotten we were told that we were Savages in Africa and that we never made any
Contribution to history culture or Humanity that is a lie and the work that I’ve been doing over the last 44 years has been exposing that lie and providing information that is designed specifically to plant new memories in the minds of people that will serve as a reference point for them moving forward
So what you uh cited at the top of this interview uh about a brother giving you a copy of the Brower file and you having read that book you’re reading that book uh allowed you to internalize my research and the internalization of my research uh implanted memories in your
Consciousness so you you have been able to refer to those memories in order to get a clear understanding of who you were and how you should move through the world this is the process all we are brother are memories at the end of the day all we are are memories and whoever
Controls your memory controls your past your present and your future so since you’re master of business I would encourage those that you work with also become a masters of their memories so that you can be you can develop and cultivate the best business practices ever and be a success at whatever you do
Oh man we’re talking true black history y’all this this is good this is true black history not not black achievement this this is true history here not I when I first heard you say that um and this was a couple years ago when I first heard you talk
About memory in that way um the first song that popped in my head Jill Scott one of her songs she has that line do you remember me and talks about being on the continent and the the saring Getty and she’s like but do you remember and that was the first thing that popped
Into my mind when you said this now something else that You’ said on the Rock Newman show and and we’re gonna open up for you all so I’m being mindful of the time I want to make sure I Le some space for you all but this this is
Very intriguing to me and then we’re going to come back to some of the things that you’re doing there’s a new documentary out uh there’s the tours that you have so we got a few things that we want to talk about another thing that just happened uh there in in that
Area we want to discuss but I definitely want to open it up for everyone else and I think someone asked me it’s on my Facebook page I don’t know why it’s not showing uh to be streaming I’m looking at it over on the phone I don’t know if
You can share it but again you know Facebook will probably just put it up after it’s completed they they do their thing over there so um might want to tell people to get in the room so pass the link on tell them to come on and get
In the zoom room while they can if we can find people but one of the things I heard you say on the Rock Newman show about this recovering of the memory and I’ve seen this and I’ve been a witness to this that as you’re exposing us to
This type of knowledge that we haven’t been privy to right or that this m miseducation as Carter G Woodson wrote um there a tendency for some of us to get angry right and I heard you on Rock Newman talk about this and you said that
The key to this though is to be able to go through this and begin to access these memories without getting angry because that’s going to stop our development can you expound on that a little bit more sure well what happens when you get angry you um amplify what’s
Referred to as the fight or flight syndrome uh your body is flooded with a adrenaline and other hormones and it interferes with your capacity to think clearly you want to be calm you want to be cool you want to be focused you want to be tapped into those memories those
Emotions and those feelings that will allow you to work through whatever it is you’re thinking about so that you can see yourself on the other side of that situation and that’s that’s part of the Mastery of Life anger never benefits anyone um and and you know I I can truly
Understand and appreciate what Dr King was talking about in terms of not succumbing to the anger and the Power of Love right power of love and so love creates a a stabilizing Force um within you which makes it easier for you to cultivate those things that will benefit
You in the shortterm and the long term anger uh initiates a spark and that spark could could ignite something that would can possibly burn you up and cause you more harm than good so you want to be cool you want to be focused you want to be clear about what it is you’re
Doing why you’re doing it and what the outcome of your doing it is going to be so that you can achieve those things that you desire and and so it it’s the capacity to think a situation through and see yourself in the best possible outcome and then manifest that by
By drawing yourself to that conclusion which you saw in your Consciousness anger puts up filters that obscures that vision and makes it more difficult for you to see the opportunities to lie ahead and it takes practice to do this but the more you cultivate an understanding of this process and why
This process is so important to you and demonstrate it and perfect it in your life and demonstrate it you will see that it impacts those people in your in your household and in your community so you then amplify your your your your power your love to those people who
Matter the most to you and that’s how we should be living that’s this is so good and look I I could talk to you all day about these things this is so good this I don’t know about you all but this is Juicy for me I I I got a page full of
Notes and I’m just supposed to be asking question here the question throw the notes away throw the notes away and just shoot from the hip right this is this is good here man this this is good so I got two questions one question that I asked
You off camera but I I do want to get your your thoughts on this you kind of shared this but as as we’re talking about I was with sister Ava Muhammad one day may God be pleased with her she she’s de see she passed uh a little over
A year so ago and I happen to be with her and she talked about one of the things that was taken from us along with everything that you’ve just so beautifully articulated of course name language anguage culture religion all of these different things that were stripped from us as we have been brought
To these Shores but she mentioned something that you’re really touching on and it’s so profound how this how these things connect but she mentioned one of the things that we don’t talk about enough is that the thing that was stripped from us was the power to Define right give things definition and meaning
From our perspective and I noticed that’s exactly what you do especially with the recovery of memories and so I’ve tried to apply that with with Business and Entrepreneurship to kind of make people uh or help us to not be so afraid of this thing called entrepreneurship
Because it’s a it’s a French word right it’s it’s a French word that came into the the English language in the 1700s but as you’ve mentioned we’ve been doing business and commerce for hundreds of thousands of years but when we bring up entrepreneurship the first thing I hear
Us say is you know that that’s hard or I’m not meant to be that and so I said I gotta find another word for entrepreneurship so that we’re not so afraid of so I asked you off camera you know you gave myself and and Anitra and
A few others have been using the term that you gave us in terms of jna right jna for a mentor right so we don’t use the term Mentor anymore we use the term jna and I said man I gotta ask Dr BR is there another word for entrepreneurship
And business that we can use from our culture that would make it more I don’t know exciting for us and and remove the barrier of fear do you have anything well look let me think about that let me think I I I don’t want to just shoot
From the hip that’s a very important question and I want to do that question uh Justice by giving it more thought let me let me think about it and I can get back to you uh but it’s a very good question and I know that the answer is
There right I just need some time to to bring It Forward uh we have been business people since the beginning of business we were the first business people so um you know I I’ll come up with something if not I’ll make something up yeah because all these
Terms are made up anyway exactly you know we might as well make something up that resonates with our being and then push that forward into the future absolutely I love that and I I can’t wait till you do that because I want to be the first if not the second just
Continuously push our definition of what you mentioned in terms of we’ve always been doing business I really want to kind of push it so the last question I’ll ask you before we open it up and so for those of you who want to ask uh Dr Browder a question go ahead and raise
Your hand use the raise your hand feature I think it’s somewhere on the bottom of your screen and that’ll put you in the queue and then what I’m going to do is ask you state your name where you’re from and give us your question right we we don’t want you know the the
The speech give us your name where you’re from and a question and then if it’s going quickly maybe we’ll allow a followup but we don’t want it to get to drawn out so I I kind of want to lay a base here because this is something that
We we really know about you or we should know and that’s why I’m going to bring it up right now one of the things that you’ve done is these the the tours of Egypt on the pic and I want you to kind of give us a summary of what that is
About the meaning of that and I think that would kind of lay the base for a lot of questions for people who uh if you have questions and you haven’t had the experience of uh Dr Browder yet this of what he’s done to identify our world
On the pomac and really in other places it’s just been phenomenal so could you just give us a brief summary about Egypt sure sure well as we’ve already established a foundation uh the proper name is important for anything that we do so this activity um that we’ve been
Doing in Washington d D since 1986 brother uh is known as the Egypt on the bomic field trip we don’t call it a tour because our philosophy is Black Folk can’t afford to come to DC as tourists because our imprint is all over the city we have to come with the proper
Frame of mind so that we can reclaim those things those Secrets which have been hidden in plain sight since DC is the is the capital of the wealthiest and most powerful nation in human history DC is a city of Secrets there’s secrets in the White House the capito the the the
Uh FBI the CIA the NSA but the greatest secrets in a city of secrets are literally hidden in plain sight when you understand that concept you’ll also understand what better way to hide a secret than to put it in the open where everybody can see it and all you need to
Do is to separate people from their capacity to understand what they’re looking at so the symbol that represent the capital of of Washington DC is a structure that we have been taught to refer to as the Washington Monument uh it is a an avalis which is a Greek word
For those that understand African history uh they know and particularly those who have traveled to Egypt with me on one of our Study Tours would know that that structure was originally known um in Africa in kimet the country that the Greeks renamed Egypt it was known as
A Tekken a teken is a 6,000 year old symbol of Resurrection it represents the resurrection of the founding father of kimet a man by the name of assar who the Greeks renamed Osiris and so what I what I’ve done in this uh field trip is to identify other
Landmarks in DC that relate to the layout and design of the nation’s capital that were inspired by ancient now Valley history culture science science and philosophy and and take you through the city on a 2 and a half hour um field trip where we we identify these
Areas we show you the symbol and then we restore your memory so that you understand how it relates to African people history and culture and you’ll see that none of this information has been identified here in Washington DC so it’s a very empowering process uh these activities these field trips are
Activities that we conduct uh April through November uh annually and if people are interested in doing that that field trip they’re conducted the first Saturday of each month we do two a day and you can go to our website uh which is uh ikg-info docomo docomo us you’ll see egyp on the bomic
And you can purchase the ticket for that activity um and and so that’s part of how I would have been able to use my artistic eye in order to interpret African history that is hidden in Washington DC but also hidden in practically every city around the world
There are teenu or obelis in Paris in London uh the city that has the greatest number is Rome there are more teenu today in Rome than there are in Egypt there wasn’t one time over 120 teenu in kimet or Egypt uh many built in front of temples and inside of temples today
There’s only seven rest have been CED off to the four corners of the earth there’s actually one if anyone lives in New York City there’s actually one in Central Park behind the Metropolitan Museum so these are symbols that represent African uh sacred science uh religion architecture engineering and history so it’s
Important that that we are engaged in this process of identifying elements of our history that have been stripped away from us uh putting them in the correct historical context so that people can restore their memories and by looking at something or discovering something that you now know is part of our ancestral
Legacy it instills a sense of Pride and makes it easier for you to want to know more about who we are as a people of African ancestry man this is so profound you know I got a million question I’mma stop I’mma stop so that everybody else
Can can get in now this is just so so we got to do a part two I’m I already gota I’m putting in my my requests now we got to do a part to because we got so much that that that we can cover so again that website I did
Put it in the it’ll be along with this video and with the replay if you want the replay to this of course it’s going to be streaming on Facebook and we’ll put it up on on YouTube but if you want to get instant access um just go to the Mob
Network.com and you can join the network for free uh I I’ve decided to make sure that these interviews all of the conversations with black millionaires all of the tools that we’re using in the beginning stages of Entrepreneurship but more importantly the connecting together is available there so you want this and
More information all of the information that um Dr BR is providing for us tonight I’ll make sure that we have that in a special section just for this so that you can contact him put your questions there and we’ll definitely shoot them over to Dr Browder to deal
With so just go to theob network.com and you’ll just join for free and and we’ll have that for you um so with that said I’m going to open up for questions I see you all at the top I’m monitoring the time remember name where you from and then give us
Your question uh and then we’ll move forward I believe you were first James so can you tell us your name and where you’re from unmute yourself and then give us your question my name is Jim sutan I’m in Orangeburg South Carolina first thing I want to do is seize the moment to let
Everybody on the call know that despite the multitudinous accomplishments that we have talked about relative to Tony Browder is that is a new grandfather and within the past few months and I want to reassure brothers and sisters out there that for the future we can look to another Tony BRD
Running around on planet Earth um secondly uh secondly you’re talking about anger I need help what I’m saying is that we live in an age of contemporary politics where we are watching feverish efforts to wipe out black history every day sometimes by elected officials who parade as public servants
And I know that you have had this in your travels Tony where you’ve had push back from unexpected quarters to the point where you’ve had to reschedule your work to accommodate the oppos so how do you compare what you’ve encountered in your work with what we are trying to deal
With in this political era as explosive as it is oh thank you so much for your your statements and your question James and point of clarification James Sulton is one of my oldest dearest friends uh he pled me at Howard University over 50 years ago um and um
What what I’ve come to understand that one of the reasons why uh I have encountered some problems in Egypt during this work is because uh the Egyptian government is influenced by the American government they’re influenced by Republicans here who are rolling back advances that we’ve made and and so what
That means to me two things one we’re winning for these politicians to become as angry and as frightened as they are it means that we are winning uh if they want to take the teaching of our history and our culture and our so-called revision a revisionist views of American History out of the
Classroom we should be teaching it ourselves right we should be using our our our our churches um our fraternities our sororities our barber shops our beauty shops as places where we teach our own historical and cultural information to our children our ourselves that’s what we used to do
Before schools were integrated and so let’s go back to doing those things that have always served us and and I think that would be a start what we also will learn from this um upcoming uh presidential election is that we have no friends we have no friends on on on
Either side of the political F fence our best friend is Dr John Henry Clark says our best friend looks back at us in the mirror every single day we’ve got to love ourselves we have to forgive ourselves for things that we may have done in the past and realize that we
Need to work together with like-minded people in order to build communities that will benefit my grandson your grandchildren and all the generations to come because that’s the greatest expression of Freedom right if you cannot determine your quality of life and establish something for the generations who come behind you you’ve
Not lived you’ve wasted your life life and if if nothing else I take this animus that is now being projected toward us from all quarters as an opportunity for us to Circle our own culture wagons right and learn to love ourselves for the wonderful people that
We are and rise to the top and do the things that we’ve always done when things were tight we’ve always excelled we’ve never not Excel right this country or in the world so this is the the the capacity for greatness that we were born with and when we accept that and not
Look outside of ourselves or our communities for validation we’ll find that we have we’ve had everything that we’ve ever needed to succeed within us all along great answer Tony thank you for that thank you for that question James um I think sometimes we forget about when people are engaged in this type of
Work and and look as youthful as Tony does and and and always approaching this work with joy sometimes you forget that there are roadblocks that he’s fighting that many of us don’t get an opportunity to see so thank you for bringing that to our attention James um let’s go to you
Joyce um and if anybody is looking at Joyce’s picture I don’t know if you can see those Pink Sands in the background Joyce is on the lovely island of Bermuda um so thank you for joining us Joyce so again State your full name I just said
Where you’re from but you can say it again where you’re from and then also uh State your question and did you disappear I’m here oh I took the I lowered my hand so there you go but good evening and thank you again brother Bedford and Dr Browder for being with us
This evening I’m Joyce Chesley Hayward originally from Maryland now live in Bermuda as I say a transplanted onion and I kind of had a question similar to Jim but to piggyback on that I and I need to I’m looking at your website trying to find are there courses for our
Children as well as adults being part of a sorority part of church all of that knowing what’s going on in Florida and all the politics and whatever there and you probably have this but just where are their courses because this is information that our children need to
Learn adults need to learn and so do you teach something or is there something that that can be purchased or to to to look at teaching children on a regular basis not just Black History Month sure but you know yeah so that’s well uh you have our email
Address in the link you can go to our website we have numerous books uh we have numerous webinars uh classes that we’ve held in the past that are available for digital download and in terms of in terms of teaching this information to your children you can’t
Teach what you don’t know so you have to master the knowledge first I was blessed to have taken my daughter Atlantis to Egypt with me when she was 7even years old we wrote her first book when she was eight she’s been traveling around the country since she was eight giving
Lectures on her travels to Africa we’ve written three books together um and and so these books were written uh primarily for parents to engage their children in knowledge about African history and culture so both the parent and the child can learn together uh we believe in being familyfriendly I I live my life
With the understanding that um if you have more televisions and computer games in your homes than you have books there’s going to be problem in your household in your community every home should have a library every Library should have books about African people African culture and African history
That’s our first priority uh your home is your first school uh children should see their parents reading and having significant discussions about what they’ve read and engage your children in these lessons and take your children to to museums engage your children in wanting to know more about life more
About their history and culture so we have information we’ll be developing other uh content over the course of the next few uh months and years so just stay tuned we have also on our website a free monthly lecture series that we offer every third Wednesday of the month
We have those archived on our you YouTube channel so we have a ton of information that has been um curated over the course of of three centuries that’s available to everyone and the one piece of advice what I would give to everyone listening is to develop the
Judicious sense to know what not to believe there’s a lot of foolish information on the internet there’s a lot of of wasteful material out there and uh I am more concerned now that I have been recently about how I do this work because I’ve seen too many people
Who’ve read one book and all of a sudden present themselves as an authority on something that they know nothing about so be selective about about who you spend your time reading or watching on on YouTube and if a person does not cite their references uh I would stay as far away
From them as possible okay thank you Joyce this is great stuff great stuff again sparking more question but we don’t have the time so Dr Cami uh you have your hand raised so tell us your name where you’re from and then your question I’m CI Anderson fellow bison um
In Cleveland Ohio um my question is you you were talking about the idea of ancestral intelligence and how that is the the only AI we need to know no disagreement but we do also have this this artificial intelligence that could be a tool do you see a way for us to be
Able to capitalize on some of the ways in which we have artificial intelligence to Archive some of this ancestral intelligence in order to make sure that there’s a a larger broader database as a lot of this information that a lot of people don’t have sure well I’m not
Adverse to technology at all uh my recommendation is that you use everything at your disposal to enhance everything that you’re doing uh what I do know is that um I I just saw something recently uh today about um Google or somebody’s newest version of of AI and they uh presented a black
George Washington uh and historically inaccurate uh images so this this technology is not perfect uh and the technology is also skewed through the lens of the people who created it so there’s racism embedded in the technology ology I travel all the time and uh when I’m coming into the country
And have to get my my image screened in order to um to come into the country uh nine times out of 10 it fails because the screening mechanism the program does not recognize black people so this is technology this is artificial intelligence that is detrimental sometimes to us so I’m saying don’t put
All your eggs in our oppressor baskets uh pick and choose carefully pick and choose something that you know is beneficial to you and if it’s if it if it is helpful you use it to life if it’s not discarded and find something that works for you this is good this is good
Um Audrey I see your hand up uh name where you’re from and your question yes sir thanks um Audrey Muhammad from Raleigh North Carolina I’m an educator and my question is my daughter and I started in uh a national holiday called mothers of civilization day uh Black Enterprise Magazine did a
Short um article on it and it’s it’s a holiday it’s November 24th it is to celebrate Black and Indigenous women as being the mothers of civilization I interviewed one time Jane Elliott who’s also an educ and she talks about um you know black women being the mothers of
Civilization and and things of that nature so I wanted to ask because I plan to share it with my sority I’m um uh AKA and so my brother um but what suggestions what organizations uh and of course I would love to send information to you what you
Suggest that I would use to help get this information out here so when people it’s on the National Day archives um people can learn more about the holiday on mothers of civilization. org uh that’s the the website but if any student because I’m an educator any student who would look up mothers of
Civilization day March 24th they would see that that was the day that they found the oldest bones or some of the oldest bones in Ethiopia um on November 24th 1972 so I just wanted to ask ask what organizations and how can I help get this holiday even more um publicity well
I was suggest and thank you for you and your daughter being creative and finding a way to restore our memories about the value of of African women I would say do exactly what you’re doing now uh use social media um I would say do some short uh podcasts or videos and put the
Information out have um have some some webinars or information sessions that you can offer in order to acquaint people to the work that you’re doing and then build a network from there I assume you have a database and come up with some programs one of the other things you should consider doing
Is you and your daughter do a publication to document uh this journey why it’s important to you and once that publication is published then you got speaking engagements that you can do in order to promote your work make more people aware of what you’re doing I would also uh advise you to Google
Mother of humanity Monument there’s a talented artist in La by the name of Nigel Ben who has uh cultivated this this this model for a mother of humanity uh statue that is going to be erected in Cameroon and has plans to develop a host of other things associated with the
Statue and the environment surrounding it so there are numerous people who like you understand the importance of validating our mothers right yes our sources of life and that’s so critical because as we are lifting up uh the women in our family we see that this culture this Society is doing everything
Within its power to denigrate women and that the largest population of incarcerated people now is African-American f EMES so uh your work is sorely needed and many young girls can benefit from the information that you’re providing and will give them an alternative to you know to some of the other less than
Desirable female figures out here who are competing for their uh their Consciousness their attention and their minds so thank you so much thank you thank you you’re welcome before we come to you Rick I kind of want to just ask a question tied to or kind of tied to what
Sister Audy just asked you because you’ve done you’ve built these types of work uh Egypt on the pomac uh the the the excavations the time period to build up something like this right how long did it take you to get Egypt on the pomac to where now it is an annual thing
But it took some time prior to that and I think sometimes I want to just kind of there is for entrepreneurs I always say there’s no bad idea there’s always just unrealistic expectations or deadlines that we put on ourselves so with that in mind what is the time that it took you
Dr BR to build up something like Egypt on the pic to where it is now well um the idea for Egypt on the pic came to me in 1985 after I returned from my second Tri Egypt was walking around DC and kept having flashbacks of of Egypt and then
As I walked through DC and the the the idea just came to me and I just needed to sort it out I had our first field trip in uh 1986 and I would just do them on occasions you know I got my hands involved in so many things that the the
Field trips at that time was was something that I did at random but then as I was cultivating um more interest in this activity and was having an increase increasing demand for them I decided to replicate myself in 2005 that’s when I published the book Egypt on the bomic
And I trained uh a series of people to conduct the field trips so now I don’t do the field trips anymore I’ve got a dozen people who can do the field trips the monthly field trips on a regular basis we also take requests for family reunions fraternities sororities and
Other organizations that are coming to DC to do the field trips so I essentially have been able to clone myself uh so is I’m kind of hardpressed to give you an exact time for how these ideas unfold uh they unfold um as they are supposed to right when you’re when
You’re in alignment with ancestral intelligence everything happens on time right and we need to know that we need to honor that we need to respect that and allow the process to to to grow and evolve organic Al you know when it’s right yeah and but again you get even
Though you didn’t give us an exact time from 1985 to 2005 for the first publication I mean we’re talking 20 years right there right then the on and off again between then I mean we’re talking a 40y year Journey an idea that you didn’t just let go you just kept
Working it as you just mentioned kept massaging the idea and doing all those things and I just think that’s important for for those of us who are entrepreneurs is that we have brilliant ideas but sometimes if it don’t happen in 60 days we out of here we we like it
Ain’t going to work I’m gone and that’s just not realistic but when you have an idea and you know it will work and and I love your your concept there was just there was no thinking that it wasn’t going to work you just tapped into ancestral intelligence and say when it’s
Going to manifest it’s going to manifest and I think that’s probably the best way to approach things like that you got to listen to yourself you have to be your own self-critic and when you feel something in your bones then nine times out of 10 that’s something that you
Should do if you if you have doubt if there seems to be too many obstacles to get in the way of the Fulfillment of that Vision maybe you need to cast it aside because the timing is not right timing is everything yeah I can’t overemphasize that fact yeah that’s good
This is good this is good okay so I’m looking at the clock y’all I ain’t gonna get started uh Rick see you there brother and we were just talking I saw uh I believe you got something coming up on artificial intelligence in the movie business right or creating movie so I’m
Anxious to hear what what you got going on but thank you for joining us dear brother so tell us you know tell everyone your name where you from and then your question for Dr BR yeah thanks brother be for having me on uh again my name is uh filmmaker Rick
Matth is from the west side of Atlanta Georgia right now uh for My Freedom Fighters that’s West in for my bougie people that’s Cascade Road and for my educated gangsters that’s pville so you know glad to be here and uh Dr Brier uh congratulations on on the on the grand
Man good to see you man you looking younger and younger every day man I need some of that water you drinking I know it’s coming from Egypt I know it is but uh but the question that I have is uh based on your extensive research and exploration in Egypt what do you
Believe is the most common misconception about ancient Egypt and what advice would you give to young people who are seeking the truth about their Heritage oh great question man uh I can say this that 90% of what we see about Egypt on television is wrong uh I’m talking about
The National Geographic specials the Discovery Channel specials most of that information is wrong uh and I’m going to be CL I’m going to be addressing that issue with my latest publication the Third volume of broad ofile essays entitled why kimet matters kimet is the original name for the oldest documented civilization known
To mankind Egypt is the Greek name for that Civilization after they conquered the land in 332 BC what most people don’t realize is that Egypt is a Greek word Sphinx is a Greek word pyramid is a Greek word so if you don’t know the original African names of African people
Places and things You Don’t Know Jack and I I I’ll leave this with you uh pyramid we’ve been taught through every movie we see and television programs that the pyramids are tombs that is a lie there’s 118 pyramids in Egypt and nobody has ever been buried in any of them zero zero
Um uh pyramids are the equivalent of grave markers pyramids rest over tombs the tombs are buried underneath not inside of them and the original name for that structure is mirr M iir the word mirr in the Indigenous African language of kimet means the place of Ascension the place of Ascension pyramid
Is a Greek word which means little flat cake and it was a word that they used to describe the pyramid field in Sakara which were smaller structures that were built much later and they had crumbled as a result of earthquakes so to these Greek visitors these this pyramid field
Looked like pyramids or little flat cakes because they had crumbled to the ground a mirror placed over a tomb was built specifically to facilitate the Ascension of the Soul buried underneath it into heaven so that that Soul could be reborn now when you get into the weeds and and
Understand the the sacred science of Kim you realize that this was the first civilization on the planet that talked about a soul that talked about the process for the Salvation of the soul and actually identify where souls go after death to be reborn all of that information is articulated clearly in
The literature so there are some uh um new egyptologists who are attempting to to remedy the errors of the past and are referring to pyramids as mirror and some have gone even so far as to refer to them as Resurrection machines which is exactly what they are designed to
Facilitate the resurrection of a soul that is buried underneath them but there is no body buried in any of them in Egypt at all zero this is good stuff this good stuff that that satisfying for you Rick yeah and only there was a two-part question the other part is what advice would you
Give to the young people about uh this exploring her in search of their their Heritage so I the same advice I I gave to uh sister Muhammad um and uh the sister from um the islands earlier be careful who you listen to see uh our minds are such precious Commodities and
I’ve seen Rick two too many people out here who spew nonsense and if you are thirsty for information and don’t have a background in a given subject matter someone may look good they may sound good but there’s nothing of value in what they say so you have to
Cultivate the judicious sense to know what not to believe and and my suggestion is uh look at those Scholars who who are recognized those people who have a track record of doing the research so that dr’s John hry Clark read doc read read and study John hry Clark John Jackson Ivan vanera ACA
Hilard uh Francis chrest Wilson uh Patricia Newton these are Scholars that devoted their lives to doing this research and who whose shoulders I stand on right now so look at folk who’ve done the work look at their references and then add to that so you’ve got to be
Willing to read you’ve got to be willing to study you’ve got to be willing to cultivate uh critical thinking skills to discern truth from a lie from a Hal truth and then build on what you what you’ve read and understand that it’s not going to happen overnight you have to be
Patient with yourself but you have to be willing to do the work yeah this is good thank you for that question Rick and you you read my mind um Dr bro I was just getting ready to ask you you know to to list some of the names or some
Books that that we can go and you mentioned Ian V CA uh who else did you mention John hry Clark John G Jackson ACA hilard way Nobles uh Ivan van CA I mention van CA Nim abbar Francis wison Patricia Newton um you know and and all of those Scholars have
References so once you find a specific subject matter of interest to you then look at their references read their references and Shake an somebody just mentioned Shake but Shake I would not recommend Shake an for for the the faint of heart um uh the books that I reference are are are door openers
Charles Finch yes I’m there’s so many folk I can’t you know if I if I start naming some I’m going to forget others but I was I was recommend if I were to recommend three books um I would recommend um John G Jackson’s introduction to African civilizations which is still one of my
Favorite books I would recommend AC hillyard’s uh saber SBA The Reawakening of the African mind and I would recommend um my book now Valley contributions to civilization uh those are good starter books and there are references in each of those books that can lead you down the road to recover
Your historical and cultural memory this is awesome this is awesome um you work you you’ve just completed a documentary or you work the global assignment documentary can you uh with another one of our Scholars right so can you talk about that documentary and how people can access that sure sure sure uh the
The documentary that I was executive producer of is entitled Global assignment The Life and Times of Dr roko rashidi it is a testimonial to a dear friend of mine and and wonderful scholar who passed um it would be three years uh August the 2nd he passed in Egypt wow um
Um suddenly he died of a heart attack just before he was to begin a a study tour and as we were funeralized him in La we um came up with with the thought of doing a documentary we were able to get the resources and the documentary is
Available now for streaming on Vimeo you can go to Vimeo and just type in Roka rashidi you can either um rent the video for $4.99 or purchase it for $12.99 I would encourage you all to watch it to share with your family and friends um and I was just in California last week
Week ago today we screened the film film at um um University of California La and uh that institution also acknowledged that they will be archiving uh the books of Dr Roka rashidi and that information will be digitized and will be available to people throughout the state of California’s um university system as
Well as available to people all around the planet so this is one way that we can honor people whose lives matter to us and we can ensure that their memories will live on to influence favorably influence the lives of generations to come and that’s what we are charged to
Do for those Souls that that matter to us this is awesome so you can go to Vimeo and just type in Dr roko rashidi’s name and that documentary will come up for you you could either rent it for $4.99 or purchase it for I believe it’s
122 99 uh this is great stuff so what we’re going to do uh Mr Murray I see you raise your hand and I could not even though we I was getting ready to close it down I’m not going to do you like that I would never do you like that uh
So I want you to ask your qu this is the final question and then we want to ask um Dr Browder about one last thing and then some closing remarks as we get ready to close out so Mr Murray name where you from and question
Yes sir uh I want to thank you brother be for being a guest on my show um Tuesday evening it was fantastic Fant I’m getting man I’m getting so many replies and so many questions so I want to thank you and brother Tony brow I’ve been KN this Brother since his daughter was
About seven years old so that’s how far back him and I go I’ve interviewed him a couple times live when he’s out in the events but his book The Browder fouls and then his book I always tell my my listeners a book every black family must
Have in their home is the now valid contribution to civilization that is one of the best books you can read and you get your family and your kids to read and brother B I’m you know what I’m worried about is that we don’t have a a a school or classes that we can
Teach our children what you’re teaching I’m trying to find some where I can do I’m willing to do a free 4our I mean four week on Saturday teaching our kids how to build or grow their mindset their lifestyle and how to become entrepreneurs H what do you suggest how
How do you go about doing something like that’s something I want to do and I can’t find nowhere that I can do that well uh brother I was um invited by a colleague of mine in California uh San Jose California to come out once a month to do uh lectures at three different
High schools for African-American students uh Black Folk in San Jose compris about 5% of the population and all of these black students in these three high schools were typically the only black person in all of their classes so I came out once a month for eight years and had sessions with these
Students in in three different high schools and from that I had a colleague of mine from from Howard who was working on his Masters we hired him to come out and do a longitudinal study on the efficacy of our work um and his his Professor was so pleased with that he
Told him that he should make that his his PhD dissertation which he did and I was amazed to find out that this was the first longitudinal study on the efficacy of immersing African-American children in their history and culture we’ve been able to show a quantitative Improvement in performance uh in and outside of
School and test scores so what we wound up doing uh was bringing my daughter in and we developed a national program called cultural imperative program and we ran that in 12 different cities uh just before covid hit and it just kind of it through things for a loop so we’re
In the process now of revitalizing that um my daughter just uh had a child six weeks ago so I’m giving her a little bit time to get back on her feet and get back back in in in the game uh my daughter is Tony Browder 2.0 so she’s
Taking my work to the next level she’s an an outstanding curriculum writer uh she has developed the content for this program and we’re looking at um making that available to any organization any people who want to implement this program we have a full curriculum uh and it’s geared towards high school students
Were using essays in my first book from the Brower file they read they write reflection papers and the other activities associated with that so we’ve been able to build out uh three years worth of activities uh for this program and it’s available to anyone who wants
To bring it to to their city so we’re going to be revising that probably um toward the latter part of this year so just keep going to our website ikg-info um process of our program and we invite you to to to bring it to your city and help to educate those children whose
Lies should matter to you excuse me brother BR are you going to do a class here in the was metp area uh I might but look man uh I’ve got to you know um i’ I’ve been burning the candle at both ends and I I need to step back and and
And write some more books I’ve got three books which I I want to write over the course of the next three years um next five years excuse me uh the Brower file volume 3 uh should be out late spring and then I need to work on now Valley
Two and now Val Valley three which are decades overdue so I’m going to be stepping back from doing a lot of this work because uh my best work is done in my writing and my writing will will live forever so I’ve need to rep prioritize
My time I’ve been blessed to have um a number of young people who I’ve been working with over the past um decades and I am breaking off pieces of my business and allowing them to run it so that I can now free myself up and doing other things so once my daughter gets
Back on her feet she’s going to be doing more presentations she’s going to take over our Study Tours to Egypt within the next two years now and I can spend my time focusing on cementing my legacy and helping to raise uh my grandson so that
He can he can be the first he can be the third in the line of broader Scholars and ensure that our Dynasty will will live uh for eternity I love you I’m available for anyone that’s interested in in putting together the classes I’m trying to put for DC I’m a 47 year
Entrepreneur and brother Beford knows he was on my show that that I am very learned and the things I can teach are’t children to get them to the next level and brother Brown you GNA be hearing from me because you gonna be become a guest on my show on my podcast
I got about 20,000 people that tune in to my show the road to success and brother be tell we had do we have a good time or not my brother we had a great time we had a great time so let me ask you this thank thank you for your
Question uh Mr Murray real quick Mr BR um because I know we got to get I’m looking at the clock we’re winding down because you just said something what’s going to be um and you probably can’t answer this yet but I do want to put this out it
Because if I’m hearing you correctly and and I think you know everybody we we can’t expect you to continue to be the one showing up doing this so I’m I’m my question is what is the criteria what are you going to be looking for for your company with your daughter and the many
Students that you’re producing to do collaborations with people in these different locations because Anthony Browder is not going to be coming to all of these locations but there is an opportunity to possibly collaborate some type of Partnerships what are you going to be looking for in terms of that Dr
Brer uh one you have to be serious two you have to be on time three you have to be committed to something bigger than yourself yeah that’s what matters yeah I don’t have time to deal with people who don’t respect time um I don’t have time
For people who are are are looking to um take advantage of others uh this is serious work that requires a serious commitment and um it’s it’s challenging work so you have to be willing to to do what’s necessary in order to help our folk um and and that’s that’s what’s
Important to me at this stage of My Life um I want to work with folk who have these three capacities and I would serve in a advisory position um I’m not going to overextend myself because I’ve got things that I need to finish before my work here on
This planet is done yeah and the reason I bring that up and I am looking at the clock and Just One Last Thing Before we let Dr Browder go is that I do think that there’s an opportunity um I know I’m looking how can I cultivate this relationship better so
That this body of work that Dr Browder has prepared right there’s no need to reinvent the will right we’re asking for curriculum we’re asking how do we do this there’s something that those of us who are serious have to do in our respective areas that you have the
Curriculum you have the body of knowledge that we can import to wherever we are but as Dr BR just said I think we have to be serious so I’m I’m really going to be putting that out there what what’s the best way to cultivate these types of relationships and Partnerships
To to to utilize what Dr Browder has put well over 40 and he’s already mentioned it we we didn’t even get into your relationship with Asa Hillard we we we briefly talked about uh uh our brother rashidi uh Dr rashidi but I mean so your
Work is like a a body of work that encompasses so many other resources that I don’t want to I don’t want that to go over our heads that if we Mr Murray and those who are interested you know we may not be able to get Anthony prowder to
Come but there’s a way to partner and collaborate to make sure this body of knowledge reaches our children whether Dr Browder is there or not we just gave us a bibliography of books that we can begin to push for our children and even us to begin to put
Into our libraries and study so I just wanted to say that because there’s tremendous opportunity but we got to think collaboration we got to think cooperation we got to think partnership strategic alliances and we can really make this happen if we’re not stuck on personality exactly being the person to
Do this so I just want to ask you this last question as we get ready to get out of here um big deal big deal Governor Moore announces appointments to Maryland Commission on Middle Eastern Affairs and of course there’s a list of esteemed people who will be a part of this
Commission and one of them is the one and only Dr Anthony Browder and this just this is the press release just came out February 26 so this is just two days ago what does this mean and what is this is this the extension of work that you’ll be that you were just talking
About that you want to do more of uh yes it’s another asp ECT of the extension of my work uh Governor Westmore of Maryland is the first African-American governor in the state of Maryland and he has um he’s overseeing commissions that address the needs of uh people born in other countries who are
Now residents in Maryland so that uh the governor can address some of their issues and some of their concerns so I have been appointed to the Middle East Commission Now someone said well why not another part of Africa I’ve spent you know 44 years uh traveling to Africa I
Spent 14 years Excavating um in Egypt so Egypt is near and dear to my heart and I’ve been very concerned about um how uh people of African ancestry specifically African-Americans who are considered to be Afrocentric are being unfairly um viewed in Egypt and it’s been troubling to me and
Uh I’ve been debating how I was going to deal with this situation but now that I’ve been appointed to this Commission Now that I’m on the uh Egyptian commission what I would do is to use my position to uh be the voice for uh African-Americans who spend a
Considerable amount of time and money in Egypt everybody in Egypt knows that African-American tourists spend more money than anybody else everybody knows that we we Flex we go right we we we do we do man and you know we’ve raised over uh $2 and A5 million dollar uh for our
Excavations with the ACA restoration project over the last 14 years the tours that I’ve been bringing to Egypt since 1987 have invested over $5 million in in the Egyptian economy so uh I want to make sure that our voices are heard our voices are respected in that community
So I will speak to those issues specifically and I also am in a position to to uh speak for uh the Nubian population in Egypt which is a marginalized segment of the Egyptian population uh they don’t talk about it but but it’s it’s real and and whatever
Leverage I can use to help make things better uh for my brothers and sisters here my brothers and sisters over there I would do and we’ll see how this uh uh new position um plays out but I’m very grateful for this opportunity I’m grateful for the uh the recognition and
And good things are going to come out of this and I just encourage your your listeners your viewers to keep their eyes and ears open and when the Call Comes for your assistance uh do heat the call that’s right that’s right we’re gonna make sure that we stay connected

I would encourage your your listeners to understand that it takes more than one month to study the history of the oldest documented people on the planet and that every day should be a day in which we commemorate some aspect of our history our culture and our ancestors so
Build a library in your home uh model what conscientious people should be doing with their time talk about things of value with your friends uh with your family members and help raise the profile of of African-Americans and of Africa such that we can reclaim the dignity which so many others uh want to
Deny us that’s our responsibility and if we if we don’t do that then then shame on us you know the these times and these circumstances are a reminder that we only have ourselves to depend on I would also encourage everyone to get a passport and to travel um travel to to
Egypt if you can go as part of a study tour I don’t want I don’t want people to tell me uh they took a tour with with some non- melanated travel agency and they didn’t see any of the things that we saw that’s because we train our
Guides such that they reflect the things that that are important to us I would encourage folk to travel to Ghana travel to West Africa travel to Africa I would also encourage your listeners to uh to do a a DNA test to find out what part of Africa your ancestors are from and the
Only DNA test that you should be using is African ancestry they are a um africanamerican owned company they were the first company to do the na test they’re the only only company that can give you specific genetic information as to where your genetic ancestry uh originated yes you should do that you
Should want to find out where you’re from find out whose DNA you carry in your body and make it a point to visit that company visit their country you should uh talk about this at your family reunions we have to be responsible for raising the profile of African people
African history African C culture um and we’re in a better position to do that than any other people of African ancestry on the planet and I’ll close with this shap said that the future of Africa will remain suspended until Africans in America reclaim their history reclaim their
Culture and dare to connect it to the Nile Valley that’s the source not just Egypt but it’s Ethiopia IA it’s Uganda it’s Kenya it’s Kush that’s part of our cultural Highway that others want to eliminate and minimize by solely focusing on Egypt it’s the entire um 4,124 mile now River Valley that’s where
You can find the genius of African people that has been expressed for over 10,000 years and that’s real yes is good stuff this is so good that’s our sister Gina paage with africanancestry.com we got to get her on here now that you mention it we got to get for sure this
