Semhar was one of the first diaspora leaders I met in Washington, DC. Being an entrepreneur, I have relied on her as a trusted and essential advisor. Semhar has opened doors and made connections in line with her commitment to creating sustainable and impactful change within the diaspora. Her new academy builds on this record and I’m sure will continue to amplify and support the needs of diaspora leaders.

My Story
Meet Semhar Araia
As the daughter of Eritrean immigrants in the United States, I was raised with the spirit of a proud diaspora advocate, community member and servant leader. I learned firsthand about the impact and influence diaspora communities have in shaping global events, from wherever they lived to bring peace and promise around the world.
My goal is to show you just how powerful diaspora partnerships and strategies can be for your life - in business, community, policy and social impact. I can't wait to meet you!
The Diaspora Academy is perfect for any individual or organization seeking leadership training, public speaking, and personal and professional advising. Their services focus on diversity and diaspora and uniquely tailor their presentations to the audience.

TESTIMONIALS
I'm Mikal Woldu
As a diaspora and migration scholar, with also lived experiences, I found Semhar’s expertise in all things diaspora informative, thought-provoking and insightful.
With decades worth of experience across a wide range of industries, she was able to help me clearly map out all the different trajectories that my diaspora-related academic and community work could lead me to, and how to think strategically about my career as a diaspora professional.
I left our session feeling inspired and energized about my work, with a clearer sense of how to move forward.
Being a part of The Diaspora Academy will definitely help anyone in the diaspora who wants to make a difference!
