A Quote From Our Founder
“Half Senegalese, half Caribbean, and born in Ivory Coast, my life has unfolded at the crossroads of multiple Diaspora cultures. Across the United States, Brazil, France, and England, I have witnessed how deeply we remain separated from one another. Colonialism and slavery fragmented us by design, though our cultural roots remain entwined.
Our dream now is to build a space where the distances imposed upon us can finally be bridged.
Let us gather in the motherland to honor the many expressions of one enduring force: Black Culture.”
