The Circle
Our Story
This Circle started from a shared love of community and connection. Our founders experienced firsthand how simple moments—BBQs, potlucks, game nights, and open-door gatherings—could turn strangers into friends and create lasting bonds.
Inspired by these experiences, we created AfriKin Circle, a name that blends our roots (“Afri”) with the spirit of family (“Kin”). We’re building a welcoming space—a home away from home—where people come together to share food, laughter, and support in a vibrant city full of possibilities.
Our Commitment
To weave circles of connection that celebrate our cultures, support our growth, and honor our voices
Our Hope
A future where shared learning, creativity, and care power a more connected and resilient Black diaspora.
