Generation Z: Return Initiative

Tiebele, Burkina Faso

When communities are lawless, everyone suffers. The future of a productive community relies on its people's ability to uphold a universal law of civility, seen throughout history as a common oath to society. Educational development including collective devotion economically shrinks common motives for violent and other nonviolent crimes.   Economies are much different abroad, we can begin effective planning with university students on how to develop diplomacy with a NEW face, through international affairs & finance in order to develop sustainable as well as global societies.

#GZRI is on a mission through our #FreeTheSoutheast campaign to influence African Americans to repopulate the subtropical southeastern United States for 2 reasons, 1) Real Estate/Business Opportunities: The cost of living is fairly cheaper in the southeastern US compared to a densely populated northern metropolis dominated by billions of dollars in upper class funding. We can turn rural communities into flourishing landmarks through land development, architecture and the ability to invest in our communities and their self sufficiency. (i.e Florida, Georgia, North & South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi & Louisiana.) 2) Trade: With today’s technological advancements, we can extend beyond our coasts. From the Caribbean to South America, and from the Atlantic to the Pacific and Indian Oceans. As we build on the foundation laid forth in the United States, we can extend education as well as create environments conducive of business innovation. The capital invested in industries of entertainment can turn HBCUs into prominent universities if we establish education as a necessity. Maximizing our potential here, with the initiative to develop abroad and build on our collective culture and creativity. Creating a transAtlantic Reunion!
