African immigrants are dispersed across the world. On Neo African Diaspora, we focus on a specific proportion of this population, African immigrants who have settled in Western countries. In this bonus clip, we take a moment to explain why this particular group is special to us. 

The Western world includes majority-white countries in Europe and North America as well as Australia and New Zealand. While the population of African immigrants in Western countries is relatively small, it is a fast-growing segment. 

Neo-African diasporans, as we like to call them, add to the diversity of majority-white societies dominated by Western culture. They are also among the most educated and well-resourced diaspora from the African continent. 

As representatives of this group, we are keen to connect with fellow African immigrants and other stakeholders as we script our journey.
