Established · Washington D.C. · 2026
A community for people of color who are not merely attending the world's most important rooms — but shaping what happens inside them.
The meridian is the line that runs through every room, every city, every hemisphere. The diaspora is the people who have always crossed it. This is where we find each other — and where we stop navigating alone.
◆ The Diaspora Meridian ◆
How We Move
We are not here to perform for each other. We are here to build with each other. What you find, you pass forward.
The connection you make in the room today could change someone's trajectory entirely. Give freely.
This is a high-trust space. What happens on the line, stays on the line — unless explicitly noted otherwise.
We know who you are. We want to know you. Leave the resume at the door — bring the person.
People of color who move through spaces like Semafor, Cannes, Davos, and beyond — not as guests, but as architects of what comes next.
This is not for everyone. It is for those who have earned their place in the room and are ready to hold the door for the next person through it.
What We Are
This Is
A peer community. A high-trust room. A line that runs through every summit, every city, every hemisphere — connecting those who carry something forward.
This Is Not
A traditional networking group. A directory. A space for performance. We are not here to impress each other — we are here to move together.
When You Join
Introduce yourself — your name, where you're based, and what you're building. One or two sentences. We want to know you, not just your resume.
Where We Activate
Semafor World Economy. Cannes Lions. Martha's Vineyard. Marrakech. Wherever the world's most important conversations are happening — we are there.
I looked around the rooms at Semafor World Economy and I saw us. Scattered. Brilliant. Nodding at each other across spaces we'd each individually found our way into. So I built something.
