The AfroDziak Project embodies the spirit of unity, representation, and cultural celebration. It's an initiative driven by three creators who have witnessed the global essence of African culture, its influences, and its power to bring people together. Through our travels spanning continents, we've realized the ubiquity of Black culture and its magnetic charm that goes beyond race, age, gender, or language. We dream of a space in Metro Detroit that embodies the sophistication, beauty, and magic of the African diaspora – our very own Wakanda.

 The possibility of a place that is:

• Beautiful
• Sophisticated
• Regal
• Sexy
• Sophisticated
• Intelligent
• Bold

Gave all of us a sense of pride and belonging and made us yearn for a place like Wakanda in our everyday lives.

The AfroDziak project was created to be our Wakanda in real life.

Wakanda on steroids...

What we will Bring to the community 

1. Public Benefit & Infrastructure Implementation - Our initiative will rejuvenate the Metro Detroit area, turning Hamilton Avenue into a vibrant public space.

Imagine being welcomed by one of the elders into a well lit, secure, spacious, open air sustainable container market (that has a retractable roof for the winter months)  with a large wood plank deck that's surrounded by a lush green garden. 

The containers stores will house:

1) Fresh juice bar

2) International cafe that serves food and drink from the diaspora

3) Clothing, shoe, and jewelry brands from Pan African nations

4) Music and books from Pan African writers and poets

5) Home decor and  furnishings from Pan African furniture designers

6) Dance parties, think tanks, book and poet readings, and other special events highlighting African culture throughout the world
