A Quote From Our Founder
“Being half Senegalese, half Caribbean, and born in Ivory Coast, I have lived, traveled and worked at the confluence of many Diaspora cultures. In United States, Brazil, France, or England, I witnessed silos among our diverse cultures. Colonialism and slavery divided us to conquer, but our cultures have a common origin. It is our dream today to create a space where we bridge the divisions and distances imposed on us.
Let’s celebrate together, in the motherland, the many expressions of a singular strength: Black Culture.”
