Subject: Welcome to AfriKin: A Community of Culture, Connection, and Art
Hi AfriKin Insider,
Thank you for joining the growing AfriKin community! I’m Alfonso D. Brooks, Founder of the AfriKin Foundation and Chair of the Board of Directors. I’m thrilled to welcome you into a space where we elevate and celebrate the power of art, culture, and meaningful connections from Global Africa and the Black world.
At the heart of AfriKin lies a profound purpose: to celebrate and elevate our diverse cultural heritage while fostering a global community rooted in understanding and unity. I founded AfriKin not just as an organization, but as a movement—a response to the need for a platform that showcases and appreciates the rich tapestry of our shared experiences and expressions.
Our mission is simple yet profound: To bridge the divides that have long separated us. In a world where division is so prevalent, AfriKin stands as a testament to the power of unity. Through events, creative expressions, and cultural showcases, we provide a space where people from all walks of life can connect, learn, and grow together.
But AfriKin is more than just a cultural platform—it’s a safe space for healing, dialogue, and empowerment. The emotional struggles we face are not isolated to one community or ethnicity; they resonate deeply with people across the globe. That’s why AfriKin exists: to offer a beacon of hope, solidarity, and strength.
Our shared experiences—our struggles, joys, and aspirations—are what connect us. AfriKin is not just about showcasing culture; it’s about the emotional connections we forge, the stories we share, and the inclusive community we build.
As part of this community, you’ll be among the first to experience exclusive events, virtual exhibits, and exciting updates about contemporary art from Africa and the African Diaspora. Through AfriKin, you’ll gain access to voices and narratives that are often overlooked or silenced by mainstream media. These artists are using their creativity to address crucial social issues and empower marginalized communities, and we’re committed to helping them reach the global stage they deserve.
I’m so grateful to have you with us on this journey of discovery and unity. As we grow, we’d love for you to support us on social media so we can amplify our message even further. By following us on Instagram, LinkedIn, Meta (formerly Facebook), and YouTube, you help spread the stories of Global Africa to even more people.

AfriKin is a call to action—an invitation to not only celebrate our shared heritage, but to champion empathy, understanding, and transformation in the world. Together, we stand as a powerful reminder that our struggles and triumphs are interconnected. In recognizing this, we find strength, unity, and the courage to make real change.
We’re honored to have you with us, and we look forward to bringing you closer to the artists and stories that are shaping the future of art and culture. In the meantime, feel free to explore AfriKin and experience our work
