THIS BRAND IS THE BRAINCHILD OF DR. DONTRANEIL D. CLAYBORNE

IT WAS TURNED INTO A ONLINE PRESENCE SINCE 2005

THE MAIN AIM HAS BEEN TO ORGANIZE REAL WORLD GATHERINGS THAT ARE EFFECTIVE IN “CONNECTING THOSE THAT NEED TO BE CONNECTED!” OR PUT SIMPLY OUR OPERATING SLOGAN|VIBE|MANTRA| IS “CONNECTING THOSE CONNECTED!”

AS A NATIVE OF SOUTH(CENTRAL) LOS ANGELES YET CITIZEN OF THE MULTIVERSE…

I HAVE LONG AIMED TO CONTRIBUTE ‘BENEFICIAL’ IN MY OWN LIFE AND TO ALL OTHERS I COME TO INTERACT WITH DURING THE COURSE OF ‘LIFE’

DURING THIS YEAR OF RELAUNCH, RECONCEPTUALIZATION, AND CREATION OF NEW CONTENT…blah blah blah. THE POINT IS THANKS FOR CHECKING US OUT!

BACK TO THE STORY, IN 2000, I RETURNED HOME TO LOS ANGELES FROM MY TIME IN WASHINGTON, DC AT HOWARD UNIVERSIT. AT HOWARD UNIVERSITY,

I EARNED MY MASTER’S DEGREE IN HISTORY (1996-8) AND WEST BALTIMORE, MD WHERE I TAUGHT AT COPPIN STATE COLLEGE, THEN BUT NOW COPPIN STATE UNIVERSITY.

MY MASTER’S THESIS ASSESSED THE HISTORY OF “ETHNICITY AND GOVERNANCE IN NIGERIA”. BALTIMORE, MD (1999-2000)

IN 2005, THE CONCEPT BECAME AN OFFICIAL ENTITY.

IN 2007, AFRISPORA LAUNCHED AFRISPORA.COM
