Roots of Knowledge Empowerment Institute
Roots of Knowledge Empowerment Institute’s (ROKEI) purpose is to immerse students in Pan-African curriculum for the promotion of healthy ethnic identities. In addition ROKEI will promote health and wellness by providing workshops and clinics in lifetime sports. We provide education by conducting week-long workshops where students are able to examine histories of countries throughout the diaspora in addition to studying the cultural artifacts of those groups. Students will then generate information to be shared on the company’s media platforms for the benefit of the wider community.

Meet Julius Carmichael
Julius Carmichael is an eleven year-old boy who is all set for his first day of school. His sneakers, clothes, and teacher are all new, and he cannot be any more excited. He studied his math facts all summer, and he is ready to go. When he meets his new classmate, Beatrice Willingham, things take a turn for the worst. Julius becomes a victim of his own mischievous behavior, and is left to pick up the pieces of what was supposed to be the best day of the year.
Married to the Franchise
Jonathan Carroll married Nkechi Okoro when he was twenty-five years old, after an eighteen-month courtship. He knew that Nkechi was a "franchise player" who would lead him to a championship life from the moment they first met in college five years earlier. More than ten years after saying "I do," she has more than delivered.
