Our History

Our History

In 2005, the Motherland Beckons movement was launched in Atlanta, USA, with a vision to reconnect people of African descent with their ancestral homeland. Our mission is to provide a platform for people of African descent to explore the continent, embrace their heritage, and tap into the vast economic opportunities available.

A Journey of Resilience
Our ancestors were forcibly taken from their homeland, enduring the brutal transatlantic slave trade. Today, their descendants return in triumph, arriving on cruise ships and luxurious airlines. This transformation symbolizes the transformation of our painful past into a celebratory present.

Celebrating Our Heritage
Motherland Beckons honors the unbreakable spirit of our ancestors, who preserved their cultural heritage despite the odds. Our movement showcases the grandeur of African culture, blended with post-colonial Creole influences. Join us in celebrating the richness and diversity of African and Afro-centric traditions through the vibrant spirit of Carnival.

Be part of this empowering journey, as we reconnect with our roots and forge a brighter future. Let the Motherland Beckons you to experience the beauty, resilience, and joy of our shared heritage.
