Okiemy Isseret Djerjinsky

Question 1 :- Could you introduce yourself ?

Creator, federalist, and pacifist. I was born in Brazzaville (Congo), I grew up in France (Europe), and today I work in Dakar, Senegal, Africa. I travel between several worlds: journalism, cinema, and digital. I created a digital and audiovisual company from Dakar. All my travels have one destination: the harmony of the world. From the African perspective.

Question 2 :- What is your vision of Panafricanism ?

I believe in an open, modern and transformative Pan-Africanism. For me, Pan-Africanism is a humanism without borders. A humanism of emancipation.

Question 3 :- Who is your favourite character in Panafrican history, and why?

Nina Simone and Myriam Makeba should have had a child together, perhaps this child would have been raised by Patrice Lumumba and no doubt he would have had Thomas Sankara as his best friend, and Nelson Mandela as godfather.

Question 4 :- With the onset of technology and investment in Africa, how do you see Africa in the 21st Century ?

I see Africa as it is: in perpetual motion, in a perspective of a model of cooperation between individuals and progress in all social fields: technology will be more and more on a human scale, technology will be more and more on an African scale.

Question 5 :- What are you planning to do in the future for the State of the African Diaspora?

Simple tools, and objectives known to all. The influence of the State of the African Diaspora requires a reappropriation of the concept of pan-Africanism by Africans in Africa. This reappropriation must be lived concretely. We are going to put in place both tools for reappropriation and make our common objectives even clearer.
