Our work takes three forms:

• Each year, we recruit racial justice leaders from across the world to participate in our Fellowship Experience, a collective journey that sees changemakers deepen their leadership, grapple with the global complexities of race, and unlock their creativity for social change. 

• We publish narrative projects–including our literary magazine, Moya, and podcast, Race Beyond Borders–that engage expansive explorations of what it means to be Black in the world today and possibilities for liberation.

• We develop innovation spaces that facilitate experimentation and accelerate transformative work among the thinkers and strategists creating our shared future. 

AFRE’s work is informed by the history of racial justice solidarity between South Africa and the United States and by the Atlantic Philanthropies’ funding in both countries and further afield.
