Who We Are
NoirUnited International is a 501(c)(3) global development organization that mobilizes African diaspora communities to advance sustainable development and build community resilience.
Co-founded and co-led with my partner, NoirUnited focuses on rethinking development approaches to address the root causes of systemic challenges that Black and other globally marginalized communities face through research, advocacy, and collaboration.
The diaspora, across the United States, Central and South America, Europe, and beyond, represents an immense social, economic, and cultural potential. Through leadership and collaboration, we can take action towards shaping our collective futures for the better.
