I am just honored to run the Lisbon African tour. The Lisbon African Tour has the goal to reveal, talk and share about the African history in Portugal. We are sure that the field is huge and we need to dig more and more. But we also believe that educating African people first and then other people interested in the justice of history will take us to the knowledge of right things, knowledge of the history of humanity we belong to and knowledge of the real history the stayed secret, taboo, untold and unrevealed for generations in many countries. Times need to change and our responsibility is to tell the truth to the next ones because the wounds are deep and we need to heal them. Personally I am just an instrument to the achievement of this goal. Friends and relatives describe me as an easy going, open-minded, friendly and funny person who is always positive.
