    Surrendered Power
    Builds What Force
    Never Could.

    We are traveling to a region with no reliable internet and scarce resources to plant a seed. The soil is the Educational Framework. The harvest will be Media Sovereignty — where the meek inherit the tools to tell their own stories and build their own economies.

    The Invisible War

    The World Turned Away.
    We Are Going In.

    Cameroon's Anglophone Crisis has been classified by the Norwegian Refugee Council as one of the most neglected displacement crises on Earth. In Bafut, schools have been burned. Teachers have been kidnapped. An entire generation of youth is growing up without literacy, without structure, and without hope. The international aid system has failed them — 83% of humanitarian funding goes unmet.

    We are not waiting for the system to fix itself. We are building something the system never imagined: a sovereign economic engine powered by the stories, wisdom, and indigenous knowledge that the world has been too distracted to hear.

    3.3M People in Need
    845K+ Displaced Persons
    83% Aid Unfunded
    6,500+ Lives Lost

    "When the cameras leave, the money leaves. We are building something that does not need the cameras to survive — because the community will own every lens, every microphone, and every story."

    The Alignment

    An Interview That
    Became a Calling

    Princess Abumbi Prudence and I met during an interview that was supposed to be a conversation. Within minutes, it became something far deeper — an alignment of two missions that had been converging for years without either of us knowing it.

    My 11 years building "The World's Mayor" platform aligned perfectly with her vision for the "Royals Echo Village" — a regenerative center bridging indigenous knowledge with modern technology in the heart of the Bafut Kingdom.

    I am not going to Cameroon to lead. I am going to serve. I am bringing my life's work — the "Media Company in a Box" framework — to help bring her vision to life. The Princess is the architect. I am the bridge builder.

    The Visionaries

    Wisdom the World Needs

    Cameroon holds ancient wisdom that the rest of the world has forgotten. This project is not about "saving" Africa — it is about learning from it.

    Princess Abumbi Prudence

    Princess Abumbi Prudence

    Royal Architect of Indigenous Innovation

    When the conflict erupted, many of the elite fled. Princess Prudence stayed. She looked at the 7,000 displaced persons in her community and saw not statistics, but her people, her responsibility, and her future. Her organization, "Youths and the Future," was born from this immediate proximity to suffering — not from a glass office in Geneva, but from the heart of the conflict zone.

    Her vision is the Spirit of Ndanifor — growing the future from the earth. She envisions a Bafut where indigenous knowledge is not replaced by technology but upgraded by it. Where the youth do not flee their heritage but monetize it. Where wisdom is not lost but broadcast to the world.

    "Technology did not come to abolish indigenous knowledge. Technology came to upgrade it."
    Joshua T. Berglan — The World's Mayor

    Joshua T. Berglan

    The World's Mayor

    I am traveling to Bafut to deploy the "Media Company in a Box" and "Bridge to Media Empowerment" curriculums. My role is singular: teach the skills that allow locals to package their own wisdom, own their intellectual property, and create endless revenue streams from their God-given gifts. Both frameworks can be experienced for free on The World's Mayor Experience platform.

    My credibility comes not from a degree, but from surviving homelessness, addiction, and incarceration — and transforming that wreckage into a global platform for the voiceless. Your wreckage is not your weakness. It is the raw material for your empire.

    "I am not going there to tell their stories. I am going there to hand them the microphone."
    The Resource Imperative

    We Have the Will.
    We Need the Way.

    We are preparing the community now — training leaders, delivering curriculum, building the human infrastructure — so that when the physical infrastructure arrives, they are ready to launch.

    What We Provide Now

    • Educational Curriculum — Media Company in a Box & Bridge to Media Empowerment frameworks — both available to read free
    • Strategic Framework — IP monetization, sovereign branding, and narrative ownership training
    • Committed Leadership — Boots on the ground. Not consultants. Builders.
    • Proven Track Record — 126+ IMDb credits, 4x bestselling author, UN speaker, SCORE Mentor

    What We Need — Infrastructure

    • Connectivity — Starlink terminals for reliable satellite internet in a zero-infrastructure region
    • Hardware — Laptops, 4K cameras, microphones, and editing stations for content creation
    • Power — Solar generators and LiFePO4 battery banks to run the Digital Hub off-grid
    • Capital — Funding to build the physical Digital Hub within the Royals Echo Village

    The Methodology

    Not Charity. Sovereignty.

    01

    Ownership

    They tell their own stories. They own their data. They own their IP. The storyteller is the publisher.

    02

    Monetization

    Using the Bridge to Media Empowerment to sell wisdom, art, and culture globally — from permaculture courses to heritage textiles to documentary licensing.

    03

    Sovereignty

    We provide tools, not goals. Self-hosted platforms, decentralized revenue, censorship-resistant distribution.

    04

    Reinvestment

    Revenue flows back into the community — solar panels, wells, schools. Digital success funds physical reconstruction.

    The Testing Ground

    If It Works Here,
    It Works Anywhere.

    Bafut is the ultimate testing ground. No internet. No reliable power. Active conflict. Destroyed schools. If the Media Company in a Box can build sovereign media entrepreneurs in these conditions, it will work in any underserved community on Earth.

    Ground Zero Conditions

    Zero broadband. Intermittent electricity. Schools burned. Teachers kidnapped. If the framework produces results here, no one can claim it only works in privileged environments.

    Royal Partnership

    We are not outsiders parachuting in. Princess Abumbi Prudence is of the Royal House. The Fon of Bafut has blessed this work. The community is embedded in the mission.

    It's Been Tested

    The Media Company in a Box is the product of 11 years serving underserved communities — refined through 126+ IMDb production credits, international bestselling books, UN speaking engagements, and real-world deployment. You can read the full framework for free on The World's Mayor Experience.

    Global Replication

    Bafut is not the destination — it is the proof of concept. Once validated, this model replicates to underserved communities worldwide. The Sovereign Protocol becomes a movement.

    The Philosophy

    The Meek Shall
    Inherit the Earth

    The ancient Greek word behind "meekness" is praus — it does not mean weakness. It means power under control. Like a warhorse trained to respond to a whisper.

    Princess Prudence embodies praus. She had the power to leave. She chose to stay. She had the privilege to be comfortable. She chose proximity to suffering. That is not weakness — that is the most dangerous kind of strength.

    We are not going to Cameroon to impose power. We are going to surrender our tools into the hands of the people who need them most. Surrendered power generates trust, defuses resistance, and builds structures that endure.

    The Road to Bafut

    Phase I — Next Month

    Education Deployment

    Joshua travels to Bafut. Delivery of the Media Company in a Box and Bridge to Media Empowerment curriculums. Training the first cohort of sovereign media leaders in strategy, storytelling, production, IP ownership, and monetization.

    Phase II — Ongoing

    Resource Attraction

    Attracting the hardware — computers, cameras, satellite internet, solar power — needed to scale from education to production.

    Phase III — The Light Up

    Bafut Goes On Air

    Installation of infrastructure. The moment skills meet tools. The first broadcast from the Royals Echo Village Digital Hub.

    Phase IV — Global Replication

    The Movement Scales

    Bafut becomes the proof of concept. The model replicates to underserved communities worldwide. The Sovereign Protocol becomes a movement.
