“Black Genius is the ability to remember, imagine, create, and survive with joy, strategy, and spirit, even in the face of oppression.”

Artist, author, and activist Roni Carrington knows Black creativity is too vast to fit in one place. Diaspora Scouts sends young explorers and their families across the geography of Blackness—making art, building a collective map, and carrying stories from communities across the African Diaspora. Every badge earned is a piece of memory reclaimed. Roni created this because Black Genius has never been bound by borders. It moves, it adapts, it scouts new territory.
