CADI is the look of a thriving community. A place where Echoes of Africa connect and rise – where the young storytellers of tomorrow weave words to the ancestral drumbeat, where lost traditions are reborn in the hands of fiber artists, and wisdom flows through deep Afro-Diaspora conversations. This is a safe space, a sanctuary, a celebration. St. Louis, feel the rhythm!
We are the keepers of stories, bound by history, fueled by love, through dance. We are a movement, each step a heartbeat, of constant joy and unity. We forget our sorrows as we amplify the spirit of our people, reaching our roots toward the sky. Motherland whispers, calling you home, though your feet walk foreign lands. The soil beneath you may not know your name, but your heartbeat still speaks Africa. In St. Louis, under city lights, we dance to the echoes of our ancestors – loud, unshaken, and free.
We proudly serve communities across the African Diaspora – people of African descent living around the world, including African Americans, Afro-Caribbeans, Afro-Latinos, and African immigrants. Through culturally responsive programs and partnerships, we help our communities preserve heritage, spark innovation, and build a future rooted in identity, healing, and pride.
