Testimonials
"If you are one who identifies with your global identity, this is where you need to be, if you refer to Africa as the Continent, we speak the same language, and this is where you need to be"

Milan Whippa Wiley
Creative Director
"We are at that pivot point where African culture is cool this hasn’t been the case since, I believe pre-slavery and so we need to be educated on the differences and our shared experiences, so Africon enables you to hear about the different stories and not just partying.
Learning about our stories and bringing people together is what AFRICON is about.”
Learning about our stories and bringing people together is what AFRICON is about.”
Jidenna
Music Artist
"AFRICON and the purpose of the Diaspora coming together speaks very closely to the work that we’re doing, and I believe that we’re stronger together. We only become more powerful as the Diaspora gets closer together and we know one another. We can get information, share opportunity, share business together, invest together, grow together, I think that’s what we see the most benefit for all of us."
