Dr. Shadrach Teryila Ukuma, representing the Bureau for Arts, Culture, and Tourism in Benu State, formally announced a strategic partnership with FAVunite TV, with the goal of igniting a cultural renaissance in the state and establishing it as a world-class cultural destination.

The Narrative of the Announcement
The announcement casts Benu State as a place with potential that extends far beyond its nickname, "the food basket of the nation," highlighting an "even richer experience" in its "untapped resource of arts culture and tourism" [00:18].

A Hard Economic Asset
Dr. Ukuma stressed that the arts and culture sector is not a luxury, but a "hard economic asset" that is a vital source of job creation, revenue generation, and global attraction [00:32]. The state's traditions hold stories the world is waiting to hear and experiences it is "ready to pay for" [00:57]. He specifically highlighted one of Benu State’s significant cultural elements, the Ikyôhôr theater, which has been recognized as a UNESCO intangible cultural heritage element [02:08].

FAVunite's Role in the Partnership
FAVunite TV's core mission in the partnership is to fully leverage Benu's unique cultural assets and bridge existing gaps. The platform is "uniquely positioned" to:

Cultural Preservation: Offer authentic cultural documentation to help preserve Benu's heritage [01:38].

Talent Incubation: Provide talent incubation to turn local artists into entrepreneurs [01:50].

Global Amplification: Command the global stage, dedicated to amplifying Black stories, thereby driving growth in tourism and investment [02:20].

Vision and Outcome: The New Identity
The ultimate goal is to cement Benu's global image as a "world-class cultural destination" [02:54]. The partnership seeks to unlock new opportunities for Benu's youth and permanently change the state’s identity from just a food basket to "Nigeria's definitive culture and creative hub" [03:16].

This vision is encapsulated in the spirit of #VibrantBenue, which is about creating "a vibrancy in the expressions of our art"—including craft, dances, costuming, language, drama, and food—that will leave a lasting impression on the world [03:35].

Why is your book, album, or sculpture still not finished? 😔

In this essential talk, James Ward explores the link between Unresolved Trauma and Creative Block. He discusses the hidden items of trauma—things that happened to everyone as a child—that prevent books from being published, albums from being released, and paintings from being sold.

James provides a powerful solution: You must create a good relationship with yourself. This means understanding yourself and stepping into the role of the "programmer" where you can "edit" your mind to be the best version of yourself.

He reminds us that mastering this internal relationship is the key to unlocking your true value and letting your creativity flow freely.

Key Takeaways:

The direct link between childhood trauma and creative inaction.

The crucial step of creating a good relationship with yourself.

Are hidden beliefs stopping your career? 🚧

He explains that these limiting beliefs often originate from hurtful things said to us in childhood, which take root and make it incredibly difficult to thrive as adult entrepreneurs and artists.

James posits that if creatives knew how to identify and overcome these subconscious roadblocks, we would see more money and better lives across the entire creative industry. Learn how to debug your mind!
