Who we are

The Universal Royal Afrikan Nation (URAN) is an all Afrikan organisation established on a spiritual-cultural foundation that holds the core principles expounded and set in motion by the Supreme Royal Emperor Marcus Mosiah Garvey and carries an ethos of progressive transformation.

Origin

Emerging from the age-less  tradition of Afrikan ascension, URAN was established in Birmingham (UK) on 11th August 2013 and was offically launched on February 23rd 2014 led by its Originator and the person at the helm of URAN, the Principal Royal Afrikan Purveyor Kwende.

Membership

Membership within URAN is open to the Afrikan community and is possible through a process of learning and development. A good place to start is participation in the Afrikan World Studies Programmes available from Yemanja-O. The important and challenging five week: Africentricity and Divinity Programme may then become an option to progress into the potential of becoming a member.

Aims

To restore and secure shared spiritual-cultural fabric to Afrikan life.
