Originally conceived as a space to celebrate the interconnections between the continent and its diaspora, while highlighting the various achievements of young people in the African diaspora, this new edition takes a different turn. This year, we’re putting the theme of mental health at the heart of our priorities, and using our media platform to shed light on a subject that’s still taboo within the diaspora and the continent. For a whole week, we’ll be talking about wellness, therapy, education and much more.

We organize events which aim to showcase the diverse initiatives and creations made by members of the African Diaspora.
