We are proud to announce the launch of the African Diaspora Saturday Academy: Embracing Our Journey of Black History. The African Diaspora Saturday Academy is a culturally grounded, academically enriching program designed to illuminate the dynamic histories, cultures, and brilliance of the global Black diaspora for students in grades 6-12. Launching in February 2026, this initiative is designed to immerse our children in the wealth of Black heritage, equipping future generations with the knowledge and confidence to shape a flourishing future.
Our pedagogy at the African Diaspora Saturday Academy is centered on the transformative power of storytelling, resistance, and intergenerational learning. In a world where educational disparities persist and cultural representation is routinely erased, we offer an empowering alternative, a means for cultural survival to thrive and Black Intellectualism to prevail through community efforts. At the African Diaspora Saturday Academy, we ensure Black Identity is dignified, fostering a learning environment that nurtures collective innovation.
Embracing the rich and radical legacy of Black schools of thought, our Saturday Academy honors the ancestral traditions from the continent alongside the resilience of Black Global communities. Every Saturday lesson protects the ongoing growth of Black empowerment and communal support.
We Rise Together!
