About Chinenye

Chinenye Egbuna Ikwuemesi is revitalising the memory infrastructure of the Black world. She is a mythologist, systems strategist, and civilisational thought leader. As founder of the Afrodeities Institute, she spearheads a global mission to re-establish African mythology not merely as legend but as law, time, and operating system. Where others see mere stories, Chinenye perceives systems and blueprints for governance, technology, environmental ethics, and justice encoded within the mythic record.

Her work spans mythography, curriculum design, tech ethics, and narrative strategy, fusing 20 years of systems implementation with a lifelong ancestral calling. Holding a BSc in Information Systems and an MBA, she bridges the analytical with the ancestral, designing futures with the past as her guide.

Her flagship project, The Afrodeities Codex, is a twelve-volume civilizational archive mapping African deities, cosmologies, and societal frameworks—an mytho-political intervention aimed at transforming how we teach, govern, remember, and build. Her codices are being developed into curricula, cultural blueprints, and tools to restore epistemic parity across the Black world.

Chinenye speaks at the intersection of myth and method, providing urgent, visionary frameworks for:

• Narrative Justice – How Restoring Stolen Stories Repairs Fractured Identities

• Tech & Innovation – why mythology is important for ethical AI and future systems

• Education Reform – reintroducing African myth as foundational, not folkloric

• Climate & Spiritual Ecology – ancestral cosmologies as sacred technologies for sustainability

• Diaspora & Identity – how exiled myths survive as archives in Brazil, Haiti, and beyond

• Civic Design – myth as a blueprint for participatory governance and justice

She is currently developing a network of mytho-technological archives, curriculum tools, residencies, and digital platforms across Africa, the Caribbean, and Latin America. Her work has featured in Africa Is a Country and elsewhere, and she is swiftly emerging as a speaker, strategist, and civilisational architect for a mythic African future.

Signature Beliefs:

• African mythology was never merely legend. It was law, time, and memory.

• Black history did not begin with slavery – it began with systems.

• We are rebuilding the memory infrastructure of the Black world.structure of the Black world.
