you came forward with an idea called make wakanda real yes for those who haven't heard of your program your effort uh what is it and uh and why are you doing it because it's going to set the basis for this whole conversation well um will IAM is so far ahead of humanity in a lot of ways in terms of his ability to bring culture art spirituality of political Consciousness technology and then take a step back from him there's a big Gulf in terms of what's going on in the black community and the kind of conversations
that's going on and so for me I thought it was really important since we have someone who's already such a Pioneer how do you get other people at least engaging with the conversation well luckily um wakanda uh which is you know in the Marvel superhero Universe uh it's a black African nation that is the most technologically advanced in the world uh they're using technology for good they're a heroic country they also have culture they I'm like like this I said we should use this metaphor um as an answer back to the despair an answer back
to the loss of Hope feeling of being left behind and and and and and a reality of of being left behind in a lot of ways where you know we're past Obama you know it's not a hope and change kind of moment and there's a lot of people who are really get giving up a politics of of resentment in the black community a politics of Despair in the black community and how do you fix that what you you got to fix it with hope but it's got to be hope that has something to do with
with with today yeah and so uh about a year and a half ago uh said well why don't we go to FYI where I got my brain blown open with all this stuff and just bring the whole Community there and he opened the doors and we had a simple event called make wakanda real and it was an amazing thing you know several hundred people showed up from the community we could not get them to leave and it was and and and this guy breaks out in the middle of of you know we're doing our our
talk our interview and with giving me no notice as usual he just pulls out his phone and the Persona on his phone starts they start having a debate and arguments and the people's Jaws are hanging on the ground nobody ever seen anything like this before I think I've seen the video clip yeah and it just and it just and it really it really started something so now we have this whole movement now they came out out of out of Will I Am shop so will take it take it a step further what's your what success
look like for this uh for this effort in five years time I don't think anybody can predict 10 years but five years maybe that's a deep one um first we have to like address growth and what's actually happening on the continent of Africa and what's not happening on the continent of Africa but this is beyond just Africa this is inner city youth in LA in Atlanta yeah every place right yeah but make wakanda real is based on this wakanda yes okay and this growth that's happening on Earth in Africa the majority of Youth on Earth
is in Africa yeah that means 20 40 2050 the majority of the folks that are you know um leading companies working at companies because of the youth population in Africa is going to be Africa I I think people don't realize the demographics here uh and I just want to take a second to address that we've got China was a has been a dominant player uh India has overtaken China in terms of the largest Nation on the planet with now 1.41 billion people the majority of the world putting Africa aside is in a retrench M mode
the population is dropping throughout the rest of Asia most of Europe the US and so forth and I've said this before I think India is going to surpass China and then what surpasses that ultimately is Africa because of Africa's youth because of its resources those two things together give it sort of this demographics and Destiny so when you put that into my into in context make witha world is what so that means 2060 a lot of people are going to look half black half Chinese half black half Indian which is awesome y it's a beautiful
mix so that collaboration that's going to help Africa boom is that China Africa it's already happening this is the the what do you call the belt the Belt Road program in China it's already happening that's awesome is it indiaan and Africa that's that's going to be an amazing collaboration is it African-American Africa um and that's what make Rondo real is for African-Americans barring from a Disney film on the Black Panthers which in America the Black Panthers were like dunzo by American infiltration that's interesting right because so just using using these metor time time time has
has has dulled that one down and and uh The Avengers has brought black panther to have a positive conation so you know you see the I started there to show you where like where Africa is the continent then there's the Congo so if there was a re a mineral rare mineral that is metaphorically like which vibranium it's what's happening in the Congo now so that metaphor is not like uh you know it's not it's not a huge stretch it's real it's pretty real for those who don't know I mean you're you're mining various uh Elements
and Minerals in the Congo that are required for your cell phone your CPUs your gpus yeah and so and that being said you said gpus I'mma land this fact on your word there there are no gpus on the continent none yeah so here we are talking about make W and the African continent has no gpus so I partnered with this guy by the name of strive I drive yeah yeah so they're going to be re uh they're the cassava is our our partner to launch FYI on the continent and on March 17th we have an
announcement to bring cluster of gpus to the continent and we'll announce our partner on March 17th and bringing you know the first you know Mega cluster of of gpus to the to the continent be like four nations four or five nations that we're going to where do you think you'll base them Nigeria Egypt basically the entrepreneurial or entrepreneurial Nations there
