Our Mission

 We value diversity in all its forms and are committed to supporting historically marginalized groups, including Black students, while fostering inclusivity and belonging. We strive to create spaces where individuals from different backgrounds, cultures, and identities can come together to learn, share, and build bridges of understanding. 

 We believe in the power of exposure to diverse perspectives, experiential learning, and building bridges between cultures. Our programs provide educational experiences that foster understanding of historical, cultural, and economic ties, enabling participants to engage in meaningful collaborations. 

 We recognize the transformative power of exploring one's cultural roots and the impact it can have on personal growth and identity development. We aim to provide opportunities for Black students to reconnect with their West African heritage while reflecting on their "Americanness" and fostering a sense of belonging in both cultures. 

We promote economic empowerment and community development by facilitating trade, business, and partnerships between Black Americans, West Africa, and the Middle East. We believe in harnessing the economic potential of cultural connections to support the growth and prosperity of communities around the globe. 

 We are committed to sustainable and responsible travel practices that preserve natural and cultural heritage. We emphasize community empowerment by supporting local initiatives, businesses, and entrepreneurship. By focusing on sustainability, we aim to create long-term positive impacts that benefit local communities and foster economic independence. 

 We empower Black students to become leaders and agents of social impact in their home communities and through international connections. We provide opportunities for skill development, leadership training, and networking, encouraging participants to utilize their knowledge and networks to foster economic collaborations and drive positive change.
