We are a non-profit association (EIN:82-2181428) founded by a mix of former students of universities in USA who either grew up in various countries in Africa or the USA. Our personal experiences and analysis of those of immigrant and non-immigrant students and professionals led to realization that most of our struggles are due to the lack of exposure, knowledge and/or resources.
Our hope is we can bridge that gap through understanding long standing struggles and developing resources through collaboration with various partners and student associations. Our current main focus is on African diaspora students studying in the USA though any student or professional can benefit from being a member.
We are set up as a charitable non-profit organization (and of charity) which also allows those who wish to financially support our initiatives to have their contribution tax exempted.
We are a growing organization that is creating a network in which members can connect and benefit from each other. Join our membership to share your passion, learn and grow.
Our goal is to help others learn more about cultures and help change the narrative about Africa and its people in the diaspora
Together, NAFSA members have the opportunity to make future-forward connections that can influence positive growth in their respective communities.
NAFSA members have access to a dedicated team of individuals who provide guidance and support in areas such as, educational, financial, career-focused, and social programs.

I joined ASA because I wanted to see African American students join with students from the many countries on our rich African continent so we can join together and be in unison and learn from the many different cultures. I hope you join your local ASA.
I get to connect with other students pursuing goals to make a difference here in America and back at home in Africa.
I am because we are.
