“The total liberation and unification of Africa under an All-African Socialist Government must be the primary objective of all Black revolutionaries throughout the world. It is an objective which, when achieved, will bring about the fulfillment of the aspirations of Africans and people of African descent everywhere. It will at the same time advance the triumph of the international socialist revolution, and the onward progress towards world communism, under which, every society is ordered on the principle of –from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.” — Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah

Reggie earned a first class BA (honours) Fine Art degree from the University of West England, Bristol and a MA in Illustration at the Royal College of Art, London. Reggie was an extremely talented visual artist and illustrator. His talents did not go unrecognized. He was the recipient of many awards including Best Illustrator within the Music Industry in 1999 (2000), Parallel Media Prize and the Painters-Stainers Award of Excellence at the Royal College of Art (1996). Reggie’s work was shown widely in England, the United and Japan. In the African community in London, Reggie was widely known and loved for his staunch commitment to African unity, political activism, sense of humour, gentleness, and generosity.

He was a long-time member of AJAMU, the All African People’s Revolutionary Party (A-APRP), ALISC Network and a devoted supporter of the Kilombo Journal. Reggie extensively contributed to many other organizations in the community. He strongly believed in a better Africa was possible and worked tirelessly towards African Unity.
