  • Culture of Life Africa — We have a broad spectrum of interests all aimed at sensitizing and educating the public on how to build up the Culture of Life within the difficult anti-life climate that we find ourselves. Our interests span from writing about Africa, to organizing Culture of Life conferences, to analyzing African news on life issues, to presenting global or local policies that are bound to affect the dignity and sanctity of human life.
  • An African Woman's Open Letter to Melinda Gates — Growing up in a remote town in Africa, I have always known that a new life is welcomed with much mirth and joy. In fact we have a special "clarion" call (or song) in our village reserved for births and another special one for marriages. The first day of every baby's life is celebrated by the entire village with dancing (real dancing!) and clapping and singing - a sort of "Gloria in excelsis Deo."

Every African nation—with the exception of Ethiopia and Liberia—was colonized for upwards of 70 years by these European powers. My country, Nigeria, was one of those countries. However, I have no intention of rummaging aimlessly through the ash-heap of history today."

We see that every life, from the child in the womb, to the elderly - and in between, including the abortion clinic worker's life, have incredible value and worth. We believe that abortion strips women of their dignity. We believe that motherhood is empowering. We believe that not conforming and giving into societal pressures when it comes to femininity is empowering. We believe that justice applies to every single human being on this earth. We believe in redefining the pro-life movement to include everyone, every age, race, gender, religion and every job.
