This is how we celebrate our freedom.
Black American. African. Diaspora. One family. One culture. One joy.
Happy Juneteenth. June 19, 1865. Freedom was always ours.

They said African football didn’t belong on the world stage.
Ten nations showed up anyway.

From Roger Milla’s corner flag dance to Salah rewriting history we have always been here. The diaspora never forgot. The culture never stopped.
2026 is ours.

If you’re introducing someone to Afrobeats for the first time
Don’t start with the biggest song.
Start with the feeling.
And nobody delivers the feeling like Asake.
Ahmed Adekunle Oladapo. Born in Lagos. Raised on the streets of Agege. Signed to YBNL. And then in the space of eighteen months became the most exciting artist in Afrobeats.

The Yoruba. The Fuji influence. The way every single song feels like a prayer and a party at the same time. The crowd singing every word back to him in arenas he sold out before most people knew his name.

Mr Money With The Vibe didn’t just make hits.
He made a world.

And once you enter it you don’t leave.
This is where you start. 🖤

Drop the Asake song you’d play first for someone who’s never heard Afrobeats. We’re building the intro playlist.

His mother needed a loan.
A predatory lender charged her 400% interest.
Not because she was irresponsible.
Because she had no credit history.
Because the system was never built for people like her.
Her son watched that happen.
And decided he would fix it.
Wemimo Abbey grew up in Lagos. Moved to America. Built Esusu a fintech platform that helps renters build credit simply by reporting their rent payments to credit bureaus.
People who were completely invisible to the financial system now have credit scores. Now have options. Now have power.
By 2022 Esusu was valued at over $1 billion. $142 million raised. 5 million rental units covered across America.
A boy from Lagos changed how America sees its most overlooked people.
He didn’t wait for the system to include his community.
He built a new one.
This is what the African diaspora looks like when it moves with purpose. 🖤

MOM & POP EPISODE 3: AFRICAN VILLAGE RESTAURANT
Irving, Texas. A piece of Congo on American soil.

We walked into African Village Restaurant and found exactly what the name promised a home away from home.

Fufu. Cassava leaves. The smell of West Africa in the middle of Texas.

This is what the diaspora built. Not for tourists. For us. For the feeling of sitting at your grandmother’s table thousands of miles away from home.

African Village isn’t just a restaurant. It’s a resistance. A refusal to forget. A woman or man from Congo saying my food, my culture, my story matters here too.

Watch the full episode. Taste it. Support it. This is how we keep Africa alive.

In 2017 a Nigerian family fled Boko Haram and arrived in New York City with nothing.

They moved into a homeless shelter in Manhattan.

Their 8 year old son discovered chess at his school.
One year later Tanitoluwa “Tani” Adewumi walked into the New York State Chess Championship and defeated 73 of the best players in his age group.

He won. From a homeless shelter. In his second language. At 8 years old.

The New York Times put him on the front page. The world fell in love. A GoFundMe raised over $250,000. His family moved out of the shelter.

In 2025 at just 14 years old Tani became an International Master the second highest title in chess. Now at 15 he is chasing Grandmaster. The highest title in the game.
The African child does not wait for perfect conditions.
He builds a kingdom on a chess board in a homeless shelter and makes the whole world watch.

Happy Children’s Day Tani. The board is yours.

Tag an African child who carries greatness inside them.

So often our names are reduced or minimized & we are taught to accept that. Well maybe it’s time to own who we are & make people uncomfortable until they choose to be comfortable with African names! We surveyed different African people abroad with their experience & we all felt similarly. It’s time.

Comment some stories about your name & how you feel. We will make sure to share it in one of our future carousels.

Own it!

The one most important thing we deserve to give ourselves is the grace of authenticity. When you enter a room and people feel that glow, that aura, it’s the magic of being in tuned with self. Never forget your super power; be yourself, have faith and remain authentically you.
