What Members Are Saying

"Thank you HiA. I feel at home here. It's hard to define it, but I feel safe. I can't wait to blast this our brothers and sisters all over the world!"

"A daring interface that engages more than just the usual human senses. It takes you on a journey of culture, adventure, and substance that is driven by a great vision."

"Ubuntu unleashed in digital form, maintaining Afro-centric values, whilst building on Global diaspora experience. The place to trade, learn, grow and commune."

"HiA is a digital ode to love for our great continent, Africa. It is doing something profound: connecting Africans and those who love Africa and catalysing intelligent conversations about curating the continent that we want to see develop, for ourselves, for our children and for all future generations. Its only if we ask the right questions, can we ever get the right answers. No continent or people can be built by others. At the core of our development, should be efforts made by Africans and HiA contributes to that endeavour in a meaningful way."

"HiA provides a base for the ideological grounding of African values, knowledge and culture. It is an effort to foster African unity and to provide a digital space for members from all walks of life to call home. I encourage all Africans to join HiA and come home!"

"This is truly amazing. The HIA Network is about to be the one stop needed for anything, everything, and everyone on the continent and in the diaspora. I'm so glad I am starting with it early!"

“I can see this being an absolute game-changer for elevating confidence, connections, prosperity, impact and so much more across our beloved African continent. This is pure professional magic.”

“looks and sounds very promising for the Continent. [I learnt about the Network] from CEO Femi Omere, who very easily convinced me to join!"

@HiA is a phenomenal place for collaboration with people committed to diving deep into important issues facing the global Africa community and moving those ideas to action with wisdom and care. A very welcoming space for newcomers and a wonderful way to stay connected with old friends for the good of us all."

"Hosted in Africa guarantees legacy. As a founding member of The Hut (a.k.a. Hutians), an epistemic community comprising young African academics intrigued with and active in Africa's decolonisation struggle, I unashamedly admit that HiA has offered us a home, an assured convening space regardless of our physical locations in this wide world. Through HiA, our repository of multidisciplinary discussions, debates and scholarly written pieces is secured for future generations of Hutians to consume, critique or even discard! Viva HiA!"

"Hosted in Africa is seeing us into the future. The ubuntu spirit is alive thriving and vital. It is the way we need to be connected. Thank you for bringing this to us on the continent and diaspora."

"HiA has the potential to be one of the de facto online platforms that takes us another step closer to a globally interconnected African Diaspora that is circulating its resources within its own socio-cultural and economic environment for the benefit of Black folk around the world to solve our own problems."

"HiA is a social media+ experience with Africa at its centre, offering you personalised content that is well thought out, with it’s people as its focus. I love being able to interact in the various communities, catch up on the latest news and also contribute constructively in the communities."

"The HiA Network unifies visionaries across Africa and it’s diaspora. It cultivates meaningful connections that shift culture toward a new North Star, one rooted in Cosmo Ubuntu, which the world most desperately needs".
