"In 2022 I moved to South Africa with one thing in mind... to facilitate the return and reconnection of Diaspora and Continental Africans. Since then I built an administration of professionals from both the U.S. and South Africa. Since then I acquired hundreds of acres for rural community development, agriculture and commercial developments, partnered with government approved development companies and educational organizations, and bridged relationships with royals and sacred site custodians to better facilitate such an important reconnection."

This position requires courage, knowledge and the ability to communicate our issues and represent the Diaspora’s interest to the AU ECOSOCC as well as to negotiate outcomes favorable to both parties.

I am Annejanet Harp, but at this point and juncture as I take a play from the playbook of one of my role models, the late, great Human Rights Activist, Modjeska Simpkins. I am, “My first name is fight, my middle name is fight, and my last name is fight!” As the African Union proceeds under their 2025 Theme: “Building a united front to advance the cause of justice and payment of reparations to Africans”, which will officially be launched by Heads of State and Government during the 38th AU Summit in February 2025, I press toward the mark of this higher calling; I am looking for a change in my life and want to achieve a higher plane of existence. My desire for this role will give me this new life. I want to help break down a multitude of barriers that has created a double standard in our communities in the USA and on the continent of Africa.
