Explore the Unique Offerings That Connect Us to Our Roots
We believe that cultural preservation is more than just safeguarding the past—it’s about creating living, breathing connections between Africa and her global diaspora that can be experienced and cherished today. Our cultural preservation projects are meticulously designed to uncover, document, and celebrate the unique traditions and practices of African communities across the globe. For example, our sweetgrass basket weaving preservation initiative focuses on maintaining this ancient craft, which has been a vital part of Gullah Geechee culture in the United States for centuries. Through hands-on workshops, community engagements, and detailed documentation, we ensure that this art form, along with many other cultural practices, is preserved and passed on to future generations, maintaining its relevance and significance in contemporary society.
In addition to our preservation efforts, Diaspora Scavengers offers a wide range of educational programs that cater to diverse audiences, from school children to community groups. Our storytelling workshops provide participants with the skills and confidence to share their cultural stories, whether through writing, oral narratives, or digital media. These workshops are designed not only to preserve history but also to empower individuals to reclaim their narratives and contribute to the ongoing story of the African diaspora. Furthermore, our cultural exchange programs serve as a bridge between African diaspora communities and their counterparts in Africa, offering opportunities for mutual learning, collaboration, and cultural celebration. Whether you’re interested in deepening your understanding of your heritage or contributing to the preservation of African culture, we're here to support you every step of the way. We encourage you to reach out and explore the many ways you can participate in these enriching experiences.
