THE ART OF Uplift
We specialize in comprehensive educational, policy, and research applications. Whether you are an individual, company, or private/public stakeholder, our team has the solution that is right for you! At The Self-Knowledge Academy (SKA), our number one goal is to improve the texture and scope of available information within chronically underserved populations. History suggests that by quantitatively enhancing the provision of existentially, scientifically, and spiritually valid data in these communities, qualitative increases in human capabilities and social organization can also be expected.
The Self-Knowledge Academy has pioneered a concept referred to as "constructive public administration." In short, this concept seeks to employ internationally accepted norms, especially by way of collective engagement, to challenge both de jure as well as de facto forms of state-sponsored deprivation. We are deeply committed to producing the highest quality academic, business, and concept research available. The Self-Knowledge Academy's proprietary blend of methods, people, and software insures that you will have all of the facts required to expand knowledge and invest wisely.
““This army is fighting against ignorance, poverty, and racism. The weapons of our warfare are education, policy, and research. Changing the world through collective engagement is our mission!” ”
the agricultural, recycling, and sustainable industrial development authority
introduction
ARSIDA is actually a phonetic acronym that stands for the Agricultural, Recycling, and Sustainable Industrial Development Authority. Therefore, ARSIDA is The Self-Knowledge Academy's response to the dire realities of persistent underemployment & massive over consumption. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the recycling and reuse industry grosses upwards of $240 billion in annual revenues. With your participation and support, we can recapture $11.8 billion annually within a decade!
The african-centered recycling alternative
Sponsored by The Self-Knowledge Academy, LLC, ARSIDA is leading an African-centered recycling effort designed to provide independent African (i.e. Melanated-Indigenous) communities throughout the United States with the ability to reasonably sustain themselves. Without question, recycling is the best and most effective way of making direct investments that build capacity and change lives.
Research further indicates that the average American is responsible for producing approximately 1.3 lbs of recyclable material per day. This means that all of us can contribute to improving our collective situation.
Consequently, ARSIDA is serious about African people having the economic ability to educate youth, set dynamic existential priorities, and develop a viably autonomous agricultural, industrial, and technological base. We are using recycling as a sustainable means of nation-building!
Self-determination & public policy
The Self-Knowledge Academy is absolutely committed to developing a well-informed citizenry at the grassroots level in the United States. Historically, the survival of African cultural identity in this hemisphere has resided squarely upon African people's capacity to presciently seize legal and political initiative from the anachronistic forces of hegemony and exploitation. Furthermore, we strongly contend that racism/white supremacy (i.e. as a functional imperative) is utterly dependent on African people's compulsory ignorance and intractable poverty. Today, working black America is mobilizing to recapture 5% of the gross annual recycling and reuse revenue in this country, thereby leveraging $11.8 billion every year for African liberation.
Critical to the success of our efforts is a robust public awareness campaign that involves significant local outreach, independent voter registration, public hearings and community education, including persuading existing elected officials to choose between supporting our reasonable objectives by statute or face political extinction. As we join forces nationally to take control of a cooperatively owned and operated economy of scale, you possess a remarkably unique opportunity to positively effect change and participate in making history.
IN summary
The Agricultural, Recycling, and Sustainable Industrial Development Authority (ARSIDA) is working to establish an autonomous sociopolitical economic base, stimulate demand for a diverse array of black creativity and entrepreneurship, and nurture a comparatively ethical modern industrial capacity. In short, we are contemporary thought leaders who are passionately committed to African-centered development both at home and abroad.

recycle with us!
WE make the difference!
Whether you are an individual, family, community organization, corporate entity, contractor, or private/public event, your support makes all of the difference. Our ability to leverage the economic potential of the recycling and reuse industry for purposes of social justice, is directly predicated upon your decision to participate in our national recycling initiative (i.e., ARSIDA). Without the assistance of enlightened individuals such as yourselves, much of the work that we do, including many of the causes that we champion would simply exist beyond our reach.
… because people like you have proven willing to donate recyclable items to bold human rights advocates like us, unparalleled opportunities once thought unimaginable are now suddenly available. Due to the awareness, compassion, and vision of great spirits from literally all walks of life and human experience, we are confidently stepping into a brilliantly green (i.e., sustainable) future, unafraid to take our rightful places in a world that has for far too long made a grotesque mockery of African humanity. Thank you all for so courageously manifesting the change that we seek!
