Sikhona is all about empowering and unifying Africans and African descended people on the continent and throughout the entire world. People of all nationalities are welcome to join our platforms and our community guidelines apply to all evenly. We believe in being the best that we can be as a people and not worry about what others are doing. Based in the U.S., in the data center capital of the world, Sikhona is a Black owned and operated technology and communications company focused on freedom of speech, economic empowerment and self-determination, the church and the ability to tell and preserve our own story. As the name "Sikhona" implies, "We are here to be seen"
It's important for us to have our own technology platforms because technology levels the playing field. Nearly all of the of the trillion-dollar companies in the U.S. are in tech and they achieved this level in most cases less than 25 years. Also, technology and communications affects every aspect of our lives and who ever is in control of it controls everything. Sikhona platforms can be used to have fun, learn new things, host worship services, create businesses and so much more. The reasons for having our own is limitless and some are listed below:
Social media can help spread positive and important messages to friends, family and the public at large.
Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon, Google and others generate more income per year individually than 94% of countries around the world giving them more economic and geopolitical power than ever imagined.
Building our own technology and communications infrastructures will give us this same kind of economic and geopolitical power on the world stage.
Not having our own makes it nearly impossible to communicate in the event of an emergency and we can be disconnected from one another in an instant.
There are those who are against teaching real history and having our own platforms allows us to teach our future generations without outside interference.
To affect change that will positively alter the course of Africans and African descended people around the world, we need to own and control technology and communications platforms such as these.
