Virtual party honor for Madiba, Kofi - ITREALMS

Art@ITREALMS:
Mandela Mile, the annual commemoration and global leadership challenge, will cap off international Mandela Day festivities with an online party on Sunday, 19 July 2020 from Midnight until 2:00 AM in Johannesburg, South Africa (GMT +2) reports ITREALMS.

This, ITREALMS is in recognition of the constraints imposed by the coronavirus pandemic, the “Step Up! After Party” brings emerging leaders representing 21 countries together with activists, musicians, and influencers to celebrate the life of two great African leaders featuring an all-star Afro Nation artist lineup.

Mandela Mile Founder Shanthi Annan wished to honour and unite those thinking globally while acting locally during this time of unease and uncertainty. 

“Today’s generation is taking power and leading from the heart. Just as Nelson Mandela dedicated his life to dismantling systemic racism and Kofi Annan dedicated his life to peace and securing human rights, we recognize an individual responsibility to repair the world. Our “Step Up! After Party celebrates past, present and future in an immersive, festive environment.”

Afro Nation Co-Founder Smade comments: “Music has the power to unite communities across generations and backgrounds. Borders and divisions are brought down with love and joy, with Afrobeats in particular spanning the globe carrying an influence and power that can help shape a better tomorrow for all. It's important to follow in the footsteps of these two global Black leaders who fundamentally changed the world and with Mandela Mile we can take those pioneering next steps together.”
