21st Century Solutions began as 21st Century Concepts back in 2003, helping law firms and consulting firms relate more effectively with their African clients. Since then, the company has represented various African citizen groups and small businesses in East and West Africa in their effort to successfully present their views to the U.S. government and private opinion leaders.

The company’s motto is: Serving African Diaspora Interests Worldwide. This denotes an interest in working for African Diaspora elements wherever they are in the world — not just in Africa and the United States, but also elsewhere in North, Central and South America, the Caribbean, Europe, and the Middle East. Many of these Diaspora members desire to get their message out to audiences in the United States — public and private sector.
