Return To Kingdom strives to reconnect African Americans, and other people of African descent throughout the diaspora, to their rightful roots within Africa by way of Nigeria. While heightening their sense of ownership, and self-awareness of their rightful place within Africa, Return To Kingdom aims to increase African-American ownership of land, businesses and overall residency within Africa.

After 15+ years, Vladymir Frederique, a Haitian native, and longtime Brooklyn, New York resident, made the life-altering decision to retire from a lucrative career in Property and Casualty Insurance to follow his true passion of restaurant ownership. As a successful restaurateur, Frederique, launched iNine Bistro, the notable Harlem bistro Hexagon Lounge, and Konnichiwa Sushi, the newest jewel to his diverse restaurant portfolio.
It was his love for people that persuaded him to create Strong Movement Incorporated, a nonprofit that stands on the front line in the fight against diabetes by way of education, exercise, and both a sustainable and healthy diet. With a known passion for music and hospitality, Frederique leaned into his innate musical talent and industry relationships and parlayed those qualities into a successful career as a wedding host and professional Disc Jockey.
With a cornucopia of accomplishments and a limitless approach toward success, Frederique continues to build upon his mantra of strong principles through established actions that lead to destined deeds.
