ABOUT US

RECOLLECT/\Media is dedicated to the study and celebration of Pan-African history and culture. Today, more than ever, the varied and complex experiences of people of African descent continue to be underappreciated and remain, even now, insufficiently recognized and regarded. RECOLLECT/\Media addresses this deficiency with an overdue and original slate of platforms, events, and endeavors, each designed to honor and engage the global Pan-African community. Never forget. Never, ever forget...who we are, where we have been, and where we are going. One love!

Hosted by Anton Anderson and B. Francis Clark, the SKY IS BLACK podcast celebrates the men, women, and children leading us into the future, and inspires all of us to build a better reality for Black people around the world. Why? Because we know that when we build a better world for Black people, we build a better world for everyone. Find us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, as well as Instagram, Threads, and other social media @skyis_blck. One love!

"Whether it's cuisine from Ethiopia, Brazil, Haiti, or the Bronx, the upcoming Pan-African Food Festival, launching in Los Angeles in 2027, will celebrate the tastes and flavors and history of who we've been, and who we are today. Truly speaking, it will be a celebration over a thousand years in the making. I can't wait!"

“I have longed to see a Pan-African Food Festival for more than twenty years. Ever since I was a student at UC Berkeley, I have wanted to experience, at least once in my life, and in one sitting, all of the Pan-African dishes and delights that, prior to my arrival, I had never even heard of, let alone tasted. Growing up in Pasadena, California, I sadly and only rarely ventured beyond places like Panda Express, In ‘N’ Out, and California Pizza Kitchen. Truthfully, it wasn’t until I was a freshman at Cal that I experienced food from places like Ethiopia and Cuba and Morocco for the very first time. As you can imagine, I’ve been hungering and thirsting and dreaming of more ever since!" - B. Francis Clark
