Biography

Dr. Maulana Maulana is a respected Pan-African scholar, historian, and advocate for the repatriation and restoration of Africans of the Diaspora. He is the founder and executive director of Ministry of the Future (MOF), an organization dedicated to helping descendants of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade reconnect with the African continent through structured pathways to residency, citizenship, and community reintegration—beginning in Ghana.

Holding a Doctorate in African Studies, Dr. Maulana has spent decades researching, teaching, and advocating for African history, identity, and self-determination. He has served as Head of Pan-African Research at the W.E.B. Du Bois Memorial Centre for Pan-African Culture in Accra, where he lectured extensively on African history, culture, and the global African experience. His work at the Du Bois Centre positioned him at the intersection of scholarship, policy, and grassroots engagement with Africans on the continent and throughout the Diaspora.

Through Ministry of the Future, Dr. Maulana has played a key role in advancing conversations and practical solutions around Diaspora recognition, Ghanaian citizenship, and repatriation frameworks. He has worked closely with legal experts, community leaders, and government stakeholders to help hundreds of Diaspora Africans navigate complex bureaucratic processes while fostering meaningful cultural and economic reconnection.

Dr. Maulana’s vision extends beyond relocation. He is committed to building long-term self-reliance, economic empowerment, and unity between continental Africans and the global African Diaspora. His leadership emphasizes dignity, historical truth, and sustainable nation-building—ensuring that return is not symbolic, but structured, supported, and future-focused.

As a thought leader within the global Pan-African movement, Dr. Maulana Maulana continues to serve as a guide, educator, and bridge-builder—helping Africans worldwide reclaim identity, belonging, and purpose on the continent.
