ATLANTA, GEORGIA USA, JUNE 22,
2013- United Kingdom based, African
Leadership Magazine will present in Atlanta, Georgia USA, a conceptual forum
entitled, “The African Exchange and Investment Forum” on Tuesday, June 25, 2013
at the Hyatt Regency on Peachtree Street .
The purpose of the concept
is to fuse nations, government leaders and captains of industry while engaging
in cultural exchanges of artistic ideas and social responsibilities fused, with
flairs of world-class entertainment, while drawing focus to tangible
investments.
The African
Leadership Magazine, through its Social Responsibility arm, – it’s
non-governmental organization known as Centre for Economic and Leadership
Development (CELD), currently in special consultative status with the United
Nations Economic and Social Council, has adopted the SEND A CHILD TO SCHOOL
TODAY program to give orphans and vulnerable children the opportunity to
achieve their full potential through educational support and assistance. These
organizations offer scholarships to indigent orphans and children with
disabilities. Currently, the
organization governs 82 Children under its care, in several secondary schools
across Nigeria, Liberia, Kenya and Ghana and is totally responsible for their
cost of education at the senior secondary level. For the 2013/14 Academic
session, CELD’s mission is to adopt 200 additional children across these
countries.
The passion to integrate responsive leadership and
accountability in tomorrow’s leaders has brought about a world-wide,
world-class concept based on real investments- fabric,
fashion and cloth/textiles within one forum.
Fabric being an absolute
necessity for personnel and home use, automotive industries, businesses,
flooring, transportation, fashion designers and world of entertainment, is
synonymous with the pure blank slate of cotton or a silk worm, deriving from
many different continents to be infused with the talents of an artist to bring
the canvas to life.
The discovery of dyed flax fibres in a cave in
the Republic
of Georgia dates back to 34,000 BCE and suggests textile-like materials were made even in
prehistoric times. It is this industries investment endeavor that has,
indelibly fused Africa and America’s cotton and textile industries together
forever.
It is in this light that
the African Leadership Magazine presents a wonderful collaboration of cultural
exchange Featuring- Velasquez Production's Fashion Conductor Ms. Sandra
Velasquez, in association with - international couture designers: Ms. Sonia Noel- Guyana, Mr. Matthew Cashe-
Trinidad & Tobago and Mr. Laron Harlem, Jr. and Mr. Laron Harlem, Sr. -
Atlanta, GA (Colour Me Blind), paired with a perfect fusion of entertainment
with the incomparable Sheila Ray Charles, daughter of Georgia’s LEDGENDARY Ray
Charles and, the Golden voice of R&B, Mr. Tony Terry, in one gala affair.
These talented artisans
will assemble to exchange and demonstrate their cultural gifts as they come
together to honor former Governor and, current Senator, Dr. Abubakar Bukola
Saraki who, is slated to receive covenanted awards from the Georgia Governors
Office, Nathan Deal respectively, Georgia’s Secretary of State and the City of
Atlanta, amid a confirmed guest list that reads like a who’s who of top brass
African and Georgia dignitaries’. Dr.
Saraki was an elected governor of Kwara State, Nigeria, in 2003 where he served
two terms in office and in the April 2011 elections, was elected Senator for

180,000 targeted international investors, business executives, government
policy makers and multilateral agencies across Africa, the Middle East, Asia,
Europe and the US. It is distributed at major international and African
Leadership events around the world.
It is a niche and unbiased
African voice born out of a desire to ameliorate the lot of Africans by
focusing on individuals and corporate bodies that are known for their
legacy-based approach to leadership around the world. The African Leadership
Magazine believes in building sustainable leadership in Africa and America
through the exchange of ideas in tandem with other nations and their cultural
arts.
Together,
the African Leadership Magazine, and the Centre for Economic and Leadership
Development (CELD), strongly believe in the statement of Professor Richard
Whitfield, the founding Chairman of the United Kingdom National Family Trust,
“We cannot become individuals unless we have someone who is rationally,
irrationally and permanently committed to our welfare and interest. We ARE
NOBODY WITHOUT A COMMITTED SOMEBODY. We
therefore are resolved to being a committed “somebody” so that the ‘nobody’s of
life can become somebody.”
