Senegal, July 2019

“It is an amazing program that gives Black students the opportunity to be in touch with their roots and the culture of different African countries and by all means, students should apply because it’s a life-changing experience.”

- Alec Easter, Black Birthright 2019 Scholar

“This experience in Senegal has been the best experience I’ve had in my entire 16 years of life. It has taught me a lot about who I am, about my capabilities, about my culture and I feel like I will be more successful because of this program.”

- Makkedah Ramsey, Black Birthright 2019 Scholar

“I’ve had a great experience because I’ve been able to reconnect with a culture that I was taken away from a long time ago being a product of the Diaspora. Exposure to Senegalese culture has allowed me to be open-minded and see myself for who I truly am and what my ancestors would have wanted.”
