Queen Mother Dr. Delois Blakely

 

Queen Mother Dr. Delois Blakely carries the legacy of Queen Mother Audley Moore as The Queen Mother of All African Descendants representing the 55 million displaced Africans of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade and calls for reparations; Queen Mother is recognized as the Queen Mother of the naming ceremony of the African Burial Ground monument by the National Park Service and The United States Interior Department  in 2003, as well as attended the unveiling ceremony of the United Nations permanent monument “The Ark of Return” on March 25, 2015.

 

On June 19th “Juneteenth” 2015 Queen Mother administered her DNA sample at the Transatlantic Slave Trade monument and discovered her 100% African ancestry, setting a precedent for all Displaced African Descendants. In 1995 Queen Mother was enstooled in Amapondo, Volta Region in Ghana and received by the king of the Ashanti Kingdom and sent to his mother, Nana Afia Kobi Serwaa Ampem II to be blessed and instructed her the duties as Queen Mother in America representing the diaspora. Mwalimu Julius Nyerere, Former President of Tanzania and Dr. Angie Elizabeth Brooks, First Woman President of the General Assembly at the United Nations mentored her in the ways of diplomacy over the last 46 years.


In 1958, Queen Mother Blakely entered the Franciscan Handmaids of the Most Pure Heart of Mary Convent. For ten years, as Sister Noelita Marie, she was dedicated in servicing the community.


Queen Mother Blakely has received numerous degrees, fellowships and honorable mentions from MIT, Harvard, Columbia University, graduating from the Franciscan Handmaids of Mary College in 1965. She has published scholarly, popular books and articles on self-reliance, education, recreation and culture. She is currently working on her autobiography and five book series, her most recent release being “The Harlem Street Nun” available on Amazon.com and Kindle. This body of work generated screenplays that produced movies, Sister Act 1 and Sister Act 2. Both movies, Sister Act 1 and Sister Act2 were plagiarized from the life history of Queen Mother Dr. Delois Blakely. Now She has produced manuscripts for "Sister Act for Real". Queen Mother Blakely wrote and published a book titled, Education for Self-Reliance: Education and National Development in Tanzania in 1990. The late President Julius Nyerere of Tanzania inspired, influenced, mentored, and oversaw the completion of Queen Mother's dissertation. President Nyerere's contribution and influence remain incalculable and immeasurable and Queen Mother remains forever grateful to him. A body of work that she believes upon available verifiable facts and information very closely parallel the storyline in Sister Acts 1 & 2. It is probable that the movies Sister Acts 1 & 2 directly parallel the life history of Queen Mother Dr. Blakely.

 

In 1969, Queen Mother Dr. Blakely founded New Future Foundation Inc., a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural NGO with United Nations ECOSOC status.
