Diasporic Development aims to see black aspiring professionals leading change and being represented at all levels within the third sector. For too long the third sector has excluded, whether willfully or not, the knowledge, lived experiences, and values of many of the people it’s trying to serve. Diasporic Development seeks to create a community of black aspiring professionals progressing at all levels. We will create a safe space for black people who want to be connectors, influencers, change makers. We will provide networking, mentoring, employment opportunities and professional development. We will hold the sector accountable for its failings to attract and retain diverse talent. Diasporic Development is for us, by us.
