As a diaspora leader, you know the immense potential that lies within our global communities. We possess an amazing wealth of knowledge, skills, and resources. But sometimes, we lack the guidance and support we need to turn our ideas into tangible change. That's why I’ve created The Diaspora Academy - to bridge the gap between your passion and your impact.

Are You A Part of the Diaspora? 

 

Being in the diaspora is a deeply personal experience. It's much more than your lineage or family name.  

It's about your own relationships with your adopted and ancestral homelands, even if you've never been able to visit.  It's about having a certain commitment and consciousness to connect or become connected to your ancestral homeland, and to use your time, talent and treasure to shape positive outcomes, both here and there.

My Story

Meet Semhar Araia

As the daughter of Eritrean immigrants born in the United States, I was raised with the spirit of a proud diaspora advocate, community member and servant leader. I learned firsthand about the impact and influence diaspora communities have in shaping global events, from wherever they lived to bring peace and promise around the world.  

My goal is to show you just how powerful diaspora partnerships and strategies can be for your life - in business, community, policy and social impact.  I can't wait to meet you!
