What happens when you stop waiting for permission and start building what your community truly needs?
That’s the focus of today’s new episode of That Second-Gen Life with Semhar. I’m unpacking the core value that guides my work as a leader and advisor, to always create the spaces you wish existed.
In this episode, I share how being born and raised by diaspora parents in America shaped my earliest lessons in diaspora agency, organizing, service, and coalition building.
These experiences inspired me to create the Diaspora African Women’s Network (DAWN) and continue to shape the work of The Diaspora Academy today.
