The African Diaspora

The African diaspora is the global community that has emerged as a result of the historic slave transatlantic movement of people from Africa. The African Diaspora communities are spread out across various continents, with a significant presence in the Americas, and maintain cultural ties to their African heritage while also contributing to the multicultural landscapes of their homelands.

AFROSAYA Philosophy

AFROSAYA believes in Pan-Africanism which is a worldwide movement that aims to encourage and strengthen bonds of solidarity between all indigenous and diaspora ethnic groups of African descent. This philosophy rests on the belief that unity is vital to economic, social, and political progress and aims to “unify and uplift” people of African descent.
