Mission Statement
Rhythm of the Drum purports to advance the mental, physical, emotional and spiritual health of Africans throughout the Diaspora. Because everything we come into contact with affects our being, we must focus on such areas as politics, economics, religion/spirituality, the environment, history, culture, etc. Many times these areas overlap so much it’s difficult to delineate categories. Areas of life cannot be compartmentalized so easily; thus, we are wholistic, addressing the health of our whole selves.
Rhythm of the Drum, therefore, is a vehicle through which information is disseminated throughout the African Community in order to help Black people across the globe stay connected with the natural rhythm that keeps us healthy individually and as a whole. Without the community the individual cannot exist, and without individuals the community does not exist.
Our Drum beats out a message of completeness, wholeness, correctness, righteousness, balance, truth, justice—MA'AT. Flow with the Rhythm of the Drum.
