Project KnuckleHead is partnering with Caras Afro Panama and artists around the world to launch a movement to create deeper connections between Afro-descendants. Afro Unidad is a Pan-African cultural kinship movement founded in 2020 by Afro organizations and artists. The movement includes over 50 Afro Ambassadors across 14 countries who host events and programs globally. Our actions are focused on Consciousness, Liberation, Healing, and Unity. We are a decolonization movement that hopes to assist in the liberation of Africans subjected to centuries of oppression in the Americas. We understand that culture is power, and that Black Atlantic culture is one of the most influential forces in the modern world.

Our actions focus on FOUR AREAS/PRINCIPLES; Consciousness, Liberation, Healing, & Unity.

We also focus on FOUR CORNERS of the Afro-diaspora: Africa, Afro-Caribbean, Afro-Latin America, and Afro-North America.
