Falling on the sword of the mission of the ALM, we are striving to build sustainable leadership relations between Africa & America through the exchange of ideas in tandem with other nations through cultural arts.

We are elated to have the privilege to be able to fuse our clients together for such events as this. Engaging honorable elected officials, Presidents of nations, Captains of industry and award winning artists' such as Tony Terry and master international designer, Matthew Cashe, certainly adds class and sophistication as well as an air of pageantry to these, such memorable business and political related events that will forever be logged in the history books of nations.   


Here's a statement from one of our members that sums up how these 
once-in-a-lifetime events, are meaningful and purposeful to all : 

"One minute I'm laying in my foxhole clutching my M16A2, the next minute I'm standing in front of Dignitaries in the United Nations. 
The will of the Ezekiel...nothing but GOD" -Kineh N'gaojia, Captain in the U.S. Army


Captin N'gaojia is just one of many who been lifted by enjoying meeting others from continents most merely dream of and we are so very much proud to be in that mix.

We’ve looked at Hollywood agents who represent the biggest stars and who have stepped out from behind their clients to be recognized in their own right . Here a glimps of t he Hollywood agents who are behind the biggest names in the biz, sign million-dollar deals over  martinis, and pick future movies stars from Tide commercials.  The talent agents in Hollywood are some of the most powerful people in the entertainment industry.
