Empowering the Next Generation of African and Afro-Diasporic Changemakers
The African Futures Lab (AfaLab) is inviting applications for the AfaRise Fellowship, a bold, two-year remote program created to support emerging African and Afro-descendant leaders working to dismantle systemic racial injustice across Africa, Europe, and the global diaspora.
Rooted in reparative justice, decolonial thinking, and Afro-feminist leadership, the AfaRise Fellowship offers more than just training—it is a space for transformation, strategy, and collective imagination.
About African Futures Lab (AfaLab)
Founded by Liliane Umubyeyi and Amah Edoh in response to the 2020 global movement against racial injustice, AfaLab is committed to dismantling the legacies of colonialism and slavery through research, advocacy, and transcontinental solidarity. Its work aligns with the African Union’s 2025 Declaration marking the Year of Justice for Africans and People of African Descent.
What is AfaRise?
The AfaRise Fellowship is designed for changemakers—artists, activists, researchers, and practitioners—who are launching projects in the early stages that tackle racial injustice using a decolonial and intersectional approach.
Whether you’re writing a book, launching a podcast, building a movement, or creating an art exhibition—if your work is driving systemic change, AfaRise is here to support you.
