TELLING OUR STORIES
The Silicon Valley East African Diaspora Project profiles the narratives of the newest East African immigrant groups to Silicon Valley.Unlike earlier African diaspora groups, there is little documentation of their immigrant stories, challenges and contributions to our democracy and our region.
WELCOME TO SVEADP
The Silicon Valley East African Diaspora Project profiles the narratives of California's East African families and includes a series of activities: an overview of the relevant literature, census and demographic analysis of Silicon Valley's black diaspora that summarizes their experiences of life and democracy in America. The multimedia components of this project will bring more visibility to Silicon Valley's diverse black groups, identify and address social justice issues they face, support local self-help groups in their efforts to navigate the complexity of our society, and educate Californians of the widening diversity of blacks in our communities.
