A descendant of the Ngala tribe, known as the Panthers of Central Africa, Lokolo also known as The Mongo Warrior proudly carries the legacy of his ancestors, who were renowned for their bravery, strength, and combat skills. He is the direct 5th generation descendant of the Great Lokele King Lobanga wa Yalotcha, also known as “The Leopard.” Historically regarded as some of the most challenging and most formidable warriors in Central Africa, the Ngala warriors were instrumental in defending and leading their communities. Their panther emblem symbolizes power, agility, and stealth, qualities Lokolo embodies in his professional pursuits.

Born and raised in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Lokolo migrated to the United States in 2013 to pursue higher education and fulfill his dream of succeeding in the entertainment industry. His journey is of perseverance, dedication, and visionary leadership, driven by a strong belief in the transformative power of education and science.

“School has always been a priority for me, coming from a family of intellectuals. Nothing in this world will ever beat science; science first, then the rest comes after. Humanity evolves by the grace of God and through science and knowledge. I left the Democratic Republic of Congo with a strong mindset and determination to succeed in my educational journey,
serve in the greatest army in the world, the United States Army, and live my American dream. My motto is simple: ‘Transform dreams into reality.’

I’ve envisioned every step of my success and know I will consistently achieve more.”

After completing his studies, Lokolo sought to create businesses that would contribute to his adopted country, the United States, and his homeland, the Democratic Republic of Congo. His mission is to foster opportunities for young people by sharing his expertise and experience, helping them realize their dreams. He is passionate about inspiring the youth to believe in themselves, strive for greatness, and create business ventures that drive personal and community growth.
Additionally, he is committed to promoting the importance of a fair and balanced criminal justice system, focusing on reducing recidivism, supporting youth intervention programs, and advancing forensic science.

These studies provided him with expertise in strategic decision-making, risk management, policy analysis, practical solutions, and effective communication, critical skills that have significantly contributed to his success as both a soldier and a business leader.
