Today, African Leadership Magazine and the African Leadership Council officially kicked off the 12th edition of the International Forum on African-Caribbean Leadership (IFACL 2026) at the New York Marriott Marquis.
Held on the sidelines of the 81st United Nations General Assembly (UNGA 81), this high-level symposium brings together heads of state, central bankers, policymakers, and top diaspora business leaders from across Africa and the Caribbean.
The forum serves as a critical platform to turn historical kinship into tangible capital and cross-border partnerships.

Peter Quillin, known by the ring name “Kid Chocolate,” is a former American professional boxer who held the WBO middleweight title from 2012 to 2014.
Quillin turned professional on June 9, 2005, after signing with promoter Cedric Kushner. In April 2008, Quillin dominated former contender Antwun Echols. On June 11, 2008, Peter defeated Dionisio Miranda by unanimous decision at the Hard Rock Cafe in New York City.
Quillin won most of the early rounds of the fight and was cruising Miranda in the seventh round. Peter would recover well in the eighth round, after being caught by Dionisio. Then Quillin fought the last two rounds of the fight effectively, with the final judges’ scores being 97-92, 97-92, and 97-93.
On April 11, 2015, Quillin returned to the ring to fight Andy Lee at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York in his Premier Boxing Champions debut, live on NBC.
Due to not making weight at the weigh-in, however, Quillin was ineligible to win Lee’s WBO World Middleweight Title. In the first round, Quillin dropped Lee hard with an overhand right near the end of round one and scored a questionable knockdown in round 3 when he stood on Lee’s foot and tripped him. In round 7 however, Quillin tasted the canvas for the first time himself on a Lee right hook.
For the rest of the fight Lee boxed consistently as Quillin’s work rate and accuracy dropped. By the end of the 12th round, the fight was scored 113-112 for Lee, 113-112 for Quillin, and 113-113, making the official result of the fight a split draw.
Peter is presently training fighters in a gym in the Bronx, he started some time ago.
