From Nothing
This channel's purpose is to teach and discuss African history and promote its presence in the education system and media such as games, movies, and TV shows, more specifically, Sub-Saharan African history. Africa has a rich and interesting history yet it is often ignored and neglected and pushed aside as irrelevant to the rest of the world's history. Most of the views and perceptions of the continent are largely negative due to centuries of racism as well as the modern state of Africa. I intend to change that by showing that Africa was once much more than it is today in the form of documentary style videos and animated mapping videos.

So I've been thinking about live streaming. Maybe once or twice a month. This time the primary focus will be watch parties where I react and/or critique various African history videos including my own. (Like old ones that I made mistakes on or lacked details). Like this post if you would tune in and dislike if I should just stick to video uploads only. Leave a comment if you have any other opinions.

My sincerest apologies for being MIA or so long. Between depression and financial struggles, I was just not in a good place but things are finally looking up for me. New video before the end of the week!

New video later! I know it's been 8000 years since I've upload. Alot has gone on. With that being said, I'd like to thank everyone who stuck by, stayed subscribed, and continued to support me on Patreon and YouTube memberships. I'm finally here to stay though!

Greetings denizens of The Empire. I hope you are all doing well and I wish the best for all of you during this holiday season. I know I haven't been active in the past 3 months but if you recall in my last post, I lost my job due to unfair circumstances. Fortunately I finally landed myself a new job, much better than my last. I can't thank you all enough for reaching out and supporting me whether it be monetarily or simply just checking up on me to see if I'm ok. I'm at a point where I'm finally working towards catching up on my finances and getting my funds back where they need to be. With all of that being said, my uploads should resume shortly as well. In the spirit of this, I'd like to invite you all to join me for a live stream tomorrow at 6pm EST right here on YouTube. I will be livestreaming some gameplay of a brand new early access African-themed game. The Wagadu Chronicles. I hope to see you all there!

I don't usually like to do this and I can't get into too much detail for legal reasons but I just want to inform everyone that I was unfairly terminated from my job due to a false accusation. There was no evidence, no footage, no nothing yet they simply took the employee's word at face value and removed me on the spot. No discussion, no sit down, no hearing my side of the story, no suspension, no nothing. Just instantly escorted me off the premises. With that being said I'm currently out of work. I don't want to come off as a beggar but I appreciate any support that anyone is willing to give me in this situation. Every little bit helps. Thank you for all the support past, present, and in the future.

I'm not sure how long my Happy Hippo link has been broken on my linktree but it is now fixed. If you've ordered anything with that link then unfortunately it was not working properly. If you want to play it safe though my code is FN10. I appreciate the continued support and remember, you can get free sample packs before trying to full product!

As many of you have noticed, I've officially released my first YouTube short. I also used this same video as my very first TikTok video. I am currently at 0 followers. Who will be the first?

I'm considering starting a "YouTube Shorts" series where I allow viewers to ask a question about African history and I make a 30-60 second video answering that question. These short video requests will be uploaded via paid commission as a means of growing/funding The Empire From Nothing's future projects. With that being said, I'm curious who if anyone supports this idea or would commission a question.

I noticed several of you deleted your pledges on Patreon. I am really sorry for my absence. Between school, a new job, and well... depression, it's been hard for me to sit down and push out content. For those of you who are still sticking around and supporting me I really appreciate it. After all, you don't get charged dime unless I upload. Anyway, there content will start coming again here very soon I promise.
