Who are we, and what is UHURU?

We are dedicated to celebrating Black and African excellence, as well as scholarship while exploring the critical issues that shape Afro-diasporic voices. Our mission is to create a space where academic thought and creative expression come together to push meaningful conversations forward to eliminate the hidden dichotomies found in various parts of the world where people of African descent have settled such as in the United States, Brazil, Colombia, Haiti, and the Caribbean, as well as in Europe.

The UHURU Journal brings a fresh, dynamic approach that highlights powerful ideas, rich cultural narratives, and innovative storytelling from Africa and its global diaspora. Alongside written submissions, we enthusiastically welcome poetry, visual art, photography, and all forms of creative expression that capture the depth and vibrancy of Black and African experiences!
