It’s rare that one experiences jamais vu or familiarity of something novel, but I was overcome by intense feelings of this at my core while walking through the streets of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in something in the realms of an elongated DMT combined with an out-of-body experience. I am not the most seasoned traveler, but the familiarity that I felt was like no other as a tapestry of humanity danced by on every street and a fellowship of known souls cascaded through mine like a cacophony of enjoyable ballads from the golden age of jazz guided the rhythm of experience, awareness, and realization. I felt as though every face that I had ever seen, that I was in the location where all spirits that pass and had passed through our world arrive and exit, and I was in the epicenter of a culmination of the vast network of all human experience and interconnectedness that transcended all human time. All the people that I was around, saw, and interacted with were known, yet not necessarily in this lifetime and not by me but connected through the struggle of human history and knowledge. Africa is the Mother Continent, and it’s everyone’s home. When traveling through sub-Saharan Africa, every single human characteristic is on display and so familiar, and one comes to realize that every person whom they have ever met if born on another continent lacks the diversity and uniqueness represented in every major city south of the Sahara but emits just a fraction of the characteristics that the human tribe has on display in our birthplace. Clearly, the 20 clans that could make it out of sub-Saharan Africa, fought for survival, got lucky, and reproduced are a snippet of the diversity represented in sub-Saharan Africa, and it’s impossible for any human to step foot on the continent and not to realize that they have come full circle and are home. When walking in sub-Saharan Africa, one is tracing a path of their ancient mother, i.e., one of the seven daughters of Eve who made the journey out of the continent, but what quickly becomes obvious to anyone not born in Africa is that Eve had many, many more daughters who remained on the continent while most of our ancient mothers were one of many sisters who migrated and somehow survived. Sub-Saharan Africa contains the most genetically diverse populations on the planet, in conjunction with extreme linguistic diversity and some of the loveliest people on the planet. All who walk in our home are challenged by the environment, though, as Africa not only has the youngest population on the globe but is faced with a plethora of health, food, educational, infrastructure, and economic problems. The only solution will be cooperation among the 54 nations on the continent, creating and supporting people with a positive vision for the future of the continent, and a desire for Africans and the rest of the world’s population to improve the birthplace of humanity. Young Africans today and future generations have the right to experience upward mobility through education and hard work as well as experience a world in which they can plan and pass on a better life and continent to their children. This will only be achievable through considerable foresight, strong leadership, and capitalism mixed with the bit of socialism for all people living throughout the continent!
