🕯️ Diaspora Dinners: Content Codes of the Table

For Creators, Culture Keepers & Storytellers

Welcome.

You’ve been chosen. Not for your follower count — but for your voice, your vibration, your rootedness.

Diaspora Dinners isn’t just an event. It’s a secret supper society. A living altar to Black brilliance. A sacred space where our stories simmer in the pot, rise in the glass, and move through the sound.

As a keeper of culture, your role is to witness — and then share what you saw, tasted, heard, and felt. Not for clout. But for continuity.

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
