PLO Lumumba US Tour: Africa Diaspora-Harnessing Hope Beyond Limitations
Prof. PLO Lumumba is set to make a one month tour to the United States and the Pacific
Islands, during which he will meet the Kenyan Diaspora and give lectures and talks on how
the Diaspora and the Motherland could tap from each other. Under the theme of Harnessing
Hope Beyond Limitations, the tour is planned to coincide with the American summer and will
begin on the 8th to 26th July 2021. The trip has been organized by the One Voice
Consortium (GDDF) in partnership with the African Diaspora Development Institute
(ADDI) and the PLO Foundation (PLO-F).
The lectures and talks will focus on three broad themes of socio-economic, cultural and
political regeneration of Africa. Five States that will be covered during the tour are
Washington DC, North Carolina, Florida, Ohio and New York.
During this tour, Prof. Lumumba will foreground global issues that affect the Diaspora,
including:
1. Governance and Social Justice
2. Diversity & Inclusion
3. Economic Leverages
4. Youth Empowerment
5. Women In Leadership
The events will be hybrid to enable participants to attend the sessions across the five (5)
States and globally.
The main objective of The Tour is to appraise progress made challenges encountered by
Africans in the Diaspora.
Prof. Lumumba’s purposes are to contribute to strengthening collaboration between the
Diaspora and Africa as the Motherland at large, by generating consciousness on
implementation mechanisms through enhanced action by stakeholders for the betterment of
the African Continent and the Diaspora. There is also the agenda of uniting African
individuals and groups in the Diaspora by setting up a platform for future global dialogue and
cooperation and strengthening social and economic linkages, while also expanding
opportunities for youth development and enterprises, humanitarian issues, social justice,
women in leadership and matters arising around diversity and inclusion.
“If Africa is to realise her potential for the benefit of her sons and daughters, she must
arise and be active in all sectors in the global arena”~Prof. PLO Lumumba
The Prof. PLO Lumumba US Tour will be aired live on YouTube, Facebook and Twitter.
