Our Diaspora Futures Collective

Our Diaspora Futures is a space of meeting, dreaming and collective care.

We work to nourish and strengthen the bodies, minds and souls of people of colour in the climate movement. We do this through events and workshops featuring music, art, dreaming, food, ancestral dialogue, and nature connection.

Our Diaspora Futures works with other collectives, with the intention to hold space led by people of colour, inclusive of disability, gender expression, class, citizenship, and sexual identity.

Since forming in December 2019, Our Diaspora Futures has hosted workshops at The Advocacy Academy and online, to facilitate exchange and dreaming between people of colour in this space. We have hosted two informal dinners, one post-COP26 and one in spring 2023, connecting with international activists. In summer 2023 we hosted our largest gathering at Hackney City Farm, in collaboration with multiple artists and intergenerational collectives. In February 2025 we hosted We Are Seeds, a fundraiser for land and food justice projects in Palestine and Sudan. We have worked with Madaniya, Seize The Vote, Kindred Dreaming, The Bonita Chola, Community Centred Knowledge and others.

We are Farah Ahmed, Samia Dumbuya and Serayna Solanki. Previous members also include Zunaira Malik.
