What Is MATAH Network?

It is a network of people who consider themselves MATAH, including entrepreneurs, consumers, manufacturer's, who ultimately are all consumers. This network is being organized to raise our African consciousness and re-direct more of our vast consumption spending to businesses owned by people of African descent. This is our formula for obtaining True Freedom.

We describe the Network as An African-Centered Economic Solidarity Movement. This movement's purpose is pinpointed... True Freedom for people of African descent. It includes thousands of brothers and sisters who have been organized primarily by a word of mouth effort lead by MATAH affiliated entrepreneurs. They range in age from 18 to 85, they have occupations from doctors, lawyers, psychologists, teachers, police officers, former welfare recipients, current welfare recipients, those formerly incarcerated and well known scholars like, Dr. Ivan Van Sertima, Dr. Len Jeffries, Dr. Linda James Myers, and Dr. Molefi Asante.

The network features a channel of distribution that currently makes available over 100 different products and 90% of them are produced by people of African descent. The most important product is the Book and Tape Standing Order program, where hundreds of brothers and sisters have pre-subscribed to receive a book or video and two audio tapes, each month. This is our way of consistently and persistently raising our African consciousness which is a prerequisite to being able to re-direct more of our consumption spending toward businesses owned by people of African descent.
