OUR MISSION
AFROSAYA is a virtual community that talks about the heritage, uniqueness, and soul of the African Diaspora aiming to take people on a cultural journey.
OUR VISION
To empower people to navigate the complex layers of the African Diaspora.
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.
AFROSAYA PODCAST offers a unique auditory journey into the rich and diverse narratives of the Afro-Latino community. It spotlights the multifaceted aspects of cultural heritage, history, and contemporary issues affecting those descended from Africans in Latin America. With engaging conversations and storytelling, Afrosaya connects listeners to the pulsating lifeblood of African traditions that continue to thrive in Latin cultures today.
