Founded by Dr. Motolani Adedipe and Dr. Otito Iwuchukwu, two women whose journeys across continents revealed the invisible challenges of migration. ORAR was born to help others navigate these transitions with community and care.
To amplify diverse Black voices, spark deep cross-cultural dialogue, and create a safe space for exploring the complexities of diasporan identity, integration, and belonging.
A space where like-minded diasporans can find belonging, share experiences, and build a future where their legacies are preserved and passed down for generations to come.
Every year, thousands of Black individuals leave their home countries to pursue opportunities abroad. They bring talent, ambition, resilience, and hope. What they often don’t bring: preparation for the emotional, cultural, and psychological challenges that await them. ORAR steps in to fill the gap between what’s taught about migration and what’s truly lived.
