"Our passion for representing Africa is what truly distinguishes us from the rest. We don’t play about our people. We create a space where people can truly be themselves and know that they are accepted. "
"There’s an African proverb that says, 'Si tu veux aller vite, va seul. Si tu veux aller loin, allez ensemble.'
Which translate to: 'If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.'
That wisdom now guides how we operate every day.
RESOURCES
The Congo Crisis Resource Guide
The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is home to vast natural resources, yet millions of people suffer due to conflict, foreign exploitation, and corporate greed. While the crisis remains one of the most underreported humanitarian disasters, it is deeply connected to global industries—including technology, electric vehicles, and luxury goods—that rely on minerals sourced from the region.
This resource guide provides:
✅ A brief historical context of the crisis
✅ An analysis of the current conflict, key players, and economic interests
✅ A breakdown of multinational corporations fueling the violence
✅ Actionable steps for individuals in Raleigh-Durham (RDU) and beyond to advocate for change

The devices we use, the policies our governments enact, and the corporations we support all play a role in the exploitation of Congolese people.
