community

Our members span diverse sectors and geographies, from emerging visionaries to seasoned leaders in governance, technology, media, health, and more, but they share a common mission: to create a life-affirming future rooted in dignity, equity and hope. They believe that true change starts from within and radiates outward into the systems and stories we create. They are building businesses that prioritise people and the planet. They are social architects crafting systems, spaces, and stories that heal and inspire. They know that the future of our countries and communities is ours to shape—and they are determined to act.

Whether you’re an individual or part of a mission-driven organisation, Ijeruka welcomes anyone that's driven to solve problems and create a positive impact. This is a space for those who embrace the complexity of our interconnected world and who are ready to lead from the intersections of systems, stories, and spirit.

From unconventional themes like Radical Hope, Digital Kinship, and Meeting Our Griots, to courses blending critical inquiry with embodied practices and creative exploration, we create sacred learning spaces where big questions can be asked, assumptions challenged, and purpose rediscovered. Designed by and for people of African descent, our events are deeply nourishing, allowing for authenticity, joy, and intellectual rigour to coexist. Whether virtually or in-person, Ijeruka is a playground of possibilities.
