As the Head Content-Writer and Content Manager for Our-Truth.com, I (Leon Kwasi Kuntuo-Asare) am deeply committed to sharing the rich and complex tapestry of Black history (from Ancient Kemet and Nubia to the modern-day civil rights movement).
I use citizen journalism and activism as a weapon in the ongoing fight for social justice in America and the rest of the world.
My journey into this space is deeply rooted in my family’s history and my personal belief in the power of understanding our past to shape a more equitable future: My father was an entrepreneur and immigrant from Ghana, West Africa. My mother was a Foundational Black American woman from Detroit, Michigan. She worked as a social worker and therapist and helped at-risk youth and counseled adults in rehab.
With a background in historical research focused on Black history and several years managing digital content for platforms dedicated to advocating for social justice and educating the Black youth on their true history. I bring a unique blend of academic rigor and digital storytelling expertise to Our-Truth.com.
I first got involved in activism over a decade ago, I began by going to protests against police brutality, racism, and Islamophobia.
My involvement in community organizing around social justice has provided me with a firsthand understanding of the dynamics of activism and the importance of providing a platform for these vital voices.
I am dedicated to ensuring that our content is not only accurate and informative but also engaging, thought-provoking, and reflective of the diverse experiences within the Black community.
I am constantly seeking out new perspectives and stories to amplify, working to make Our-Truth.com a valuable resource for learning, reflection, and action.
I am excited to continue this journey with you and our other readers, exploring the past, engaging with the present, and contributing to a future where Black narratives are fully seen, heard, and celebrated.
