I appreciated having this experience of being with my fellow people internationally, the intellectual insights, the creativity... This is something I want to be more involved in and want to take a lot of this experience to the Caribbean from St. Croix, Virgin Islands.

Warren Mitchell, St Croix

I had never seen or used community as a platform and it super seamless, visually exciting and engaging. Keren was amazing at holding space and creating a sense of intimacy amongst new faces. I can't wait for the next one!!!

Dyani Douze, Haiti / Zimbabwe

What a wonderful opportunity to experience the gifts of our ancestors together in an open, honest space. It was clear some healing was done, minds were opened and ideas for the future were forged! I am grateful to have come across this wonderful guidance. Thank you!

Katie George

Keren’s Meeting Our Griots course is one my spirit will remember for lifetimes. It’s been a long while since I’ve joyfully anticipated showing up for collective study, eager to listen and reflect upon African life and literature. Each session felt like a communal gathering, which takes skill and trusted intuition to facilitate through virtual spaces. I’m continually grateful for the many resources, questions and frameworks woven throughout that I know I will return to again and again.

Denise Shanté Brown, USA

I appreciated the vulnerability in this space and that there wasn’t so much pressure to know it all yourself, like there can be in academia and higher education. You brought yourself, you brought your own experience, your lived knowledge, and that was what was important.

Valencia Lagbo

Ijeruka has been a joy. I came to the course seeking purposeful alignment in my work, and an alternative path to fulfillment that is not trauma-based. Through Ijeruka, I had the experience to visit different timelines, imagine and discuss alternative futures, and deepen my appreciation for Diasporic intellect, community and consciousness. I would recommend Ijeruka to anyone who is seeking futures where they exist in wholeness.

Anthena Gore, USA

I highly encourage anyone curious on what Ijeruka has to offer and I promise you will not regret it! There was a great deal of engagement among like-minded individuals from different backgrounds, including NGOs, Human Resources, DEIB experts, Psychology, Academia, etc. It was a wonderful experience to learn together, reminisce together and be awestruck by the lessons.

Nicolle Ndamu, Kenya

I cannot recommend Ijeruka highly enough! From the incredibly accomplished and knowledgeable speakers to the capacity of the facilitators to create the right environment for discussion, Ijeruka met all of my expectations. I could totally do it all over again!

Kaya Bryce, UK

The course was unsettling at first, then I realised that it was an invitation to re-imagine the world. By taking the course, I was able to challenge myself into new ways of thinking and appreciating the challenges I will face in my professional life.

Cheikh Traoré, Mali

It was refreshing to have so many experts from such different backgrounds and walks of life teaching across a variety of topics. This course was definitely a reminder of how the various aspects of our lives and societies are interconnected and essential to our collective Black liberation. I really enjoyed it.

Tamara Isaac, Haiti

Thank you so much for a beautiful course! I was able to enrich my learning and appreciated that we heard from people based across the globe. I look forward to more courses in the future.

Keisha Bruce, USA

The Ijeruka Space and platform felt like coming home. The sessions were well organised, and they took us on a deep journey that connected us to various aspects of being black and African, and feminist. The online platform was very interactive, and they provided multiple modes of learning.
