Diaspora (noun): the dispersion of a people from their original homeland.

Africa is by no means a monolith; there is an amazing diversity of people and culture both on the continent and across the world. Though the distinctions of the various African cultures should be acknowledged and celebrated, it is also important to highlight the commonalities and build community among all of Africa's children and that is precisely what Edosa Osemwegie is doing with Diaspora Massachusetts. What started as a photo/video shoot has blossomed into engaging community with an online and real world presence. In this interview we discuss Edosa's unique upbringing, the development of his identity and how both of those things inform the work he is doing today.
