What we’re about
The Afro Valley Film Festival is a series of educational films that highlight international Black stories, art, history, and culture, focusing on thoughtful discussion grounded in current events.
The African Diaspora, mentioned as Afro Diaspora here, is the voluntary and involuntary movement of Africans and their descendants to various parts of the world during the modern and pre-modern periods.
The African diaspora is one of the most diverse genetic pools on Earth, it is our mission to paint the full picture of its diversity, challenges, and successes.
