I first met King Adamtey I at a dinner with friends in Washington. I was struck by the intensity of our first conversation. The combination of the directness of his eyes and the deep timbre of his voice underscore that this is a very serious man with urgently important ideas. I was impressed with his grasp of public policy and economics and the careful sense of urgency he brought to the discussion of Ghana and the people of Ghana. He loves his country and his countrymen and women very deeply.

A short time later, I visited Ghana. I have worked with heads of state in other African nations and spent time with them. My visit to Ghana gave me the opportunity to talk with some of the leading thinkers and policymakers in that nation and also gave me an important opportunity to talk with real people in the Se state. A ceremony was held in a village near Accra where His Majesty presented an ambulance he procured in the United States. I talked with several leaders of the Muslim community and with a group of nuns from the same order as Mother Theresa, the Sisters of Charity. Each had several anecdotes about facing a difficult problem in Ghana and the important help King Adamtey had provided in surmounting the problem. “He is an intense person but most of all he is an intense listener,” one of the nuns told me. “King Adamtey hears every word you say and he understands and almost absorbs the feelings of his people.”

The Ghanaian people are everything I have heard him say they are -- honest… hopeful… friendly and innovative. I felt a great deal of shared values and assumptions about life. I have read and learned more about Ghanaian history and culture since my first trip there. It is a history rich in sacrifice and valor, very similar to the history of my beloved America.

Every discussion that I have ever had with His Majesty about which policies will best serve the Se people, the people of Ghana and Africa, in general, always starts with the challenge to ignore the boundaries of ideology and outline initiatives which will accomplish the most in the shortest period of time. I remember one specific instance when after a long pause he said to me “Has there ever been some policy which you thought would work but could never find someone with the political will to advance it?” I couldn’t think of one, at that moment, but if I had I was convinced that I was looking into the eyes of someone who is ready to ignore all of the conventional political wisdom and clichés in order to accomplish important advancements in Ghana.

I have accompanied His Majesty to important meetings with top government officials and members of the Congress. His integrity and his strong command of the facts in the discussion of Africa’s geopolitical challenges often prove to be the turning point of these meetings. Many who have attended these discussions have told me that His Majesty’s presentations have often seemed like a lit flare against a dark sky.

That is the role I have seen King Adamtey play many times and one which I believe is so necessary given the confusion and uncertainty on the world stage. Problems will be resolved, disease will be conquered and peace will be restored by the leader who can speak truthful solutions in a clear way. I hope to have the opportunity in the future to advance King Adamtey’s initiatives and help create opportunities for His Majesty to deal with our world’s most pressing matters.

I met His Royal Majesty at a convention in Los Angeles, California and I must admit it was a life changing experience for me. Listening to his speech was informative and captivating. I could see the drive and passion in his eyes while "telling the truth" about Africa! Those truths opened my eyes to historical facts that were withheld from me for many years. They caused me to look in the mirror and say, "I Am Africa"!

Realizing how little I knew about Africa was embarrassing, but HRM's heart for Africa ignited a motivation in me to learn more about my ancestors and my roots. His Royal Majesty clearly sees the need for all people to come to a place of understanding, appreciation and love for Africa and the people of this great continent. This profound vision will shift the hearts of all who hear his message of unity, partnership, and integrity. The more time I spend with him, the more I learn about myself. He is an never ending book of history and I am amazed at his knowledge and wisdom which are beyond his years on the earth. HRM's vision is to empower his people through education, influence, finance and technology (just to name a few). It is his heart to see the African people become owners of the resources they have been blessed to have and teach them to manage their gifts efficiently and with wisdom. Creating job opportunities, building infrastructures, greater education opportunities and strategic economic plans are all a major part of his vision. I believe by putting these operations in place the Se Kingdom and the entire continent of Africa will be propelled into a place of unity with the world. In addition, I am extremely proud as I watch him spend countless hours of time speaking to the leaders of the world to bring healing and restoration to their nations and kingdoms. I see his efforts of being a bridge to those who are in need and have great admiration for his willingness to offer his resources to his people. For almost twenty years, HRM has afforded many African college students opportunities to attend college through his contributions of scholarships; this has stirred hope within the people; particularly the youth. He is an extraordinary advocate for Africa and will do everything within his power to see that his people are treated with fairness, honor, and dignity. The people of Africa have been mishandled and exploited for far too long. It is HRM's desire to see his people viewed as partners and not beggars. Africans look forward to becoming united with others as equals and not a lower class of race and it is HRM's heart to see that day come to full fruition soon.

I believe in his work, his life and I trust his message. He is a man of integrity and honesty with a purity of heart and straight forward motives. There are no hidden agendas and those who partner with him in his mission will forever be changed and transformed. I believe in him because I have seen his heart for the people of Africa and his passion to see Africa get into their purposeful position in the world. I believe in HRM because he has a love for people, all people! I support his vision because he has given his heart to the plan, purpose and will of God. His mission and vision extends far beyond the borders of Africa into the other parts of the world and with his leadership and global influence he has the ability to motivate people to change and move forward in peace, love and prosperity. Justice and uprightness of heart is his message to world leaders. I have never met a man on earth who is as well equip as King Adamtey l to bring this sort of change in the earth. His presence is astoundingly commanding to any atmosphere he enters. He is a force that is second to none and I am proud to call him my leader and my king.

My initial introduction of HRM was the beginning of a covenant that cannot be broken. I now share his vision and his commitment to expose the rest of the world the truth about Africa, its people and its descendants. I am honored and graciously blessed by God to know HRM, to be adopted into his royal family and to be called his son. I stand with my father in support of his vision to educate people globally about Africa and in particularly the Se Kingdom.

Going home to Ghana for the first time was one of the most exciting and anticipated moments in my life. Born and raised in America, I did not have a sense of passion, gratitude and responsibility to Africa. I grew up in a society where Africa was viewed as a place of desperation, poverty and desolation. Having a egotistical and superior attitude toward Africa was something that was embedded in most Americans no matter what your race or nationality. Traveling to Ghana in January 2008 touched my heart in ways I never thought possible. I had the opportunity to visit the first slave castle ever built, Cape Coast, and the experience was tremendously overwhelming for me in many ways. I encountered so many different emotions; anger, confusion, joy and at the same time a sense of closure. My eyes are now opened to the culture of my people in Africa and how these cultural traditions are still prevalent in African-Americans today. The way we think, the way we sing, the way we cook and many other powerful influences that are as strong now as they were before the days of slavery even began. In addition, I see how slavery negatively affected black people in general. I now have a great appreciation of my rich history and culture. And as I grow to learn more about my people in Africa I look forward to inheriting the great work of my father, His Royal Majesty. My mother, Queen Martha, my sisters Princess Anna and Princess Damaris and I will follow our leader and his vision to impact the world through the wonderful things that Africa has to offer. In conclusion, I count it a privilege to be a part of this historical movement, as the Se Kingdom lifts up its head with godly-pride to be an example to the continent of Africa and to the rest of the world. I am also filled with joy and honor to be called King Adamteys' son and prince. I love Ghana and my people! Without a doubt we will become all that we were intended to be!

My Belief in the works of my friend, my brother, my spiritual leader stems from his unswerving, energetic and steadfast understanding that he can and will help bring about the change necessary to internally liberate millions of people on the continent of Africa. This liberation transcends politics, economics and regionalism. His belief are grounded in the Word of God.

While many today are preaching and teaching prosperity as the way of liberation ,His Royal Majesty has steadfastly maintained his connections with change being based on the spiritual connection where all blessing flow from. His Royal Majesty’s interactions with the children of Ghana and their quest for better schools, better educational facilities and opportunities, better health care and overall a better life is part of His Royal Majesty’s Dream.

His Royal Majesty does not only just talk about change, he has preached it to both paupers and the mega wealthy with the same passion and zeal. He has traveled the world over making all people understand the power of prayer and the power of the nation of Ghana as the Light in the darkness and the Oasis in the dessert.

For all of His good works I like hundreds of others have pledged my loyalty and dedication to aid in the liberating dream of my spirit filled friend and brother His Royal Majesty Drolor Bosso Adamtey I.
