“Home isn’t confined to one place, it lives within you. Discover Diaspora is a celebration of culture, tradition, and every story that makes you who you are.

We’re building a community where you can easily discover, and book experiences that make  you feel at home, no matter where you are.”

The Meaning Behind Our Logo: The Sankofa Symbol

Untitled design.png

Our logo is more than just a design it carries a deep cultural message.

At its heart is the Sankofa symbol, an Adinkra icon from the Akan people of Ghana.

What is Sankofa?

Sankofa is a Twi phrase from Ghana that means "to go back and get it". It's a symbol of the importance of learning from the past to move forward.  

It reminds us that our past holds knowledge, wisdom, and identity, and that looking back is not a step backward, but a way forward. It is not taboo to go back and fetch what you have forgotten.

Why Sankofa?

Discover Diaspora is built on the same philosophy, helping diaspora communities, locals, and travellers have a a sense of belonging, rediscover, celebrate, and engage with cultural experiences, traditions, and meaningful connections.

​​

Whether you're exploring heritage sites, learning a traditional dance, or attending a festival, Discover Diaspora is your bridge between the past and present, home and away.

The Story of Discover Diaspora

In regions like Africa, the Caribbean, and Southeastern Europe, there’s a treasure trove of hidden gems that deserve to be discovered and experienced with ease.

That’s why we built Discover Diaspora. We wanted to create a platform where you can easily navigate, find, and book experiences and events in underrepresented heritage rich regions with global diaspora communities. We want to help you feel at home, no matter where you are.

 

Our platform is all about connecting locals, diaspora communities, and travellers by shining a light on the unique experiences and traditions that make these regions so special.

Ever notice how some of the world’s most vibrant cultures and deep histories don’t get the same attention as mainstream markets?
