OUR STORY
FullCircle brings together the african diasporas, boosting purpose and belonging.
born in rio de janeiro,
built for the world
FullCircle grew out of an eye-opening conversation with a Rio de Janeiro museum founder-director in 2019, to a non-profit mission to digitally connect the Africa diasporas. In 2021, FullCircle was established to power and protect cultural memory.
it started with a QUILT
Early on, FullCircle asked Smithsonian museum quilt exhibitor Ed Johnetta Miller to communicate our commitment to the Sankofa ideal of looking back to move forward. The result is a striking patchwork of diaspora and African fabrics. The quilt front is punctuated by the Ghanaian bird with an egg in its mouth (the future), head swiveled backwards to honor history. The reverse side features a stunning red, black and gold Senegalese print.
BUILDING COMMUNITY
The FullCircle team worked hard to develop and communicate our mission, identify potential partners and seek funds to bring the platform into existence. Experience and clarity identified the need to choose a priority.
FINDING FOCUS
In 2025, FullCircle directors and board decided to focus first on a piece of the mission: an app for African-American families to plan and document their family reunions. This is being developed as the centerpiece of our new for-profit social benefit entity, FamilyCircle. Investment in our for-profit social benefit entity, FamilyCircle, will bring this pioneering app to life and strengthen ties in a time where history itself is often disputed.
