Our Founder
Juliet Anekwe, JDFounder/CEO
Juliet Anekwe is originally from Nigeria. After living in California for several years, she relocated to Maryland with her family. She holds a Bachelor’s (BBA) in Business Administration and a Law degree (JD). The combination of her hope to see a united world and her love for people has inspired her to actualize her dream to see the African diaspora unite, especially for the sake of the younger generation.
Juliet understands the innate human desire to associate with those who can also speak in our respective native tongues, but she urges us to remember that our American-born children are not separated by the same language barriers. For their sake, she aspires to bring all Africans together in order to leave the youth a legacy that they can grow into and continue into posterity.
Juliet declares that the step by step vision for Diaspora Village Inc. was given to her by the Almighty Father, God Himself.

Message from the Founder
We Africans in the Diaspora are a people with a spirit filled culture and traditions. Being so far from home, it appears as though we have given up on the very rich culture of our ancestors. Our united and supportive communities appear to no longer exist.Where are the villages that our children can call home? What legacy are we leaving for our children here in the Diaspora? Isolation, Loneliness and Depression are all on the rise amongst our people and our children. We must look for remedies to resolve these pandemics of the mind and soul.
At Diaspora Village, our desire is to restore some of our traditions, values and lifestyles. To achieve this, God’s Grace and Love for one another must exist too. Let us come to the table with an open mind and begin the process of embracing one another.
Nourishing the spirit being, the mind and soul of all who come through the doors of Diaspora Village will be part of our priority with hope that they in turn will go out and extend Grace and Love to the world.Diaspora Village is intended to be a happy place for all generations and future generations of all Africans in the Diaspora. We are not a church but we function to promote God’s principles and philosophies in our everyday actions.
