Our Ancestories’ vision is to nudge the world towards a point where:

• There is an avid learning culture for African history.
• People of African descent are at least as exposed to African history as we are to Western history.
• Africans look more to our history as we pave a way for the future.
• Legends that make up African history are mainstream and are introduced to children across the globe.
