The African Diaspora Community refers to people of African origin—whether recent immigrants or descendants of earlier generations—who live outside the African continent but maintain cultural, historical, or emotional connections to Africa. This community includes individuals dispersed around the world through migration, displacement, or resettlement, as well as those whose ancestry traces back to Africa through historical movements such as the trans-Atlantic slave trade.
It is a diverse, global population united by shared heritage, identity, and a continued interest in the well-being, progress, and cultural preservation of Africa and African-descended peoples.
