''Black Consciousness Poetry is a movement that was started by four young men who established themselves as arts. Through the art of poetry they came to a realization that they need to raise awareness on the injustices that continue to plague their people.''

VISION:
Ours is not to make you conscious, but to make you aware of your unconscious behavior. To promote a united Africa. For Africans not to settle and to challenge the status quo. To see them investing in our disadvantaged communities. The empowerment of women in our society. Doing it for African people, your people, our people…

MISSION:
(a) Through poetry we aim to raise awareness and awake the masses from the injustices that still plague our people.
(b) To engage with students across all disciplines of study and to change their state of mind through poetry.
(c) To influence high school students through our poetry and the concept of academic excellence as a key to empowering the African people.
(d) To reunite every African with their history through truth teaching.
