This Women’s History Month, we spotlight powerhouse Ghanaian women across sectors for a dynamic conversation on trust, wealth, identity, and building lasting prosperity within our global community.

Whether you’re in finance, policy, tech, healthcare, entrepreneurship, or just passionate about Ghana’s future—this conversation is for you.

The African diaspora has long been at the forefront of shaping global change, driving economic growth, influencing policy, and leading development efforts across industries. But how can young leaders tap into this legacy and build a future of impact?

In the next edition of NoirUnited's Voices of the Diaspora Series, we are spotlighting Dr. Kirstie Kwarteng, a leading migration and diaspora specialist, who will explore the power of diaspora leadership in African development.

Dr. Kwarteng brings 12+ years of experience working with international organizations, policymakers, and academic institutions, researching the connections between second-generation Africans and their heritage. Through her insights, we’ll dive into how young people can leverage their voices, networks, and leadership to shape policies, drive advocacy, and create sustainable solutions for their communities, both locally and on the continent.

Si.Hene invites you to “Custodians of Memory,” a special event as part of our Vanishing Past: A Community Archiving Workshop. Come hear from archival projects that are dedicated to preserving and showcasing Ghana’s and Africa’s rich cultural heritage.

In the US and UK, relationships between African immigrant communities and other Black communities - namely, African-Americans in the US and Black Caribbeans in the UK - are simultaneously sites of unity and contention. Black communities can unite in their struggle against anti-Black racism, but the cultural differences that exist between these communities can be a source of conflict. The (dis)harmonious nature of these inter-diaspora relationships influences how second generation Africans see themselves in these predominantly White societies and impacts how they create their transnational, racialized Black identities. Using data from my study on the transnational lives of second generation Ghanaians (SGGs). this seminar will explore how SGGs in London and New York City form their Black, diasporic identities and how their relationships with African-Americans in the US and Black Caribbeans in the UK influence their identity formation. The seminar will also explore the impact of anti-Black racism in SGG identity formation.
