Spotlight: Meet the Nigerian Entertainment Attorneys Uniting the African Diaspora Through Cultural Events

Amplify Africa co-founders Dami Kujembola and Timi Adeyeba are uniting the Africa diaspora through Afrobeats parties, business panels and galas.

While wearing his Nigerian native in its regal purple glory, Kujembola buried his face in Amplify Africa co-founder/COO Timi Adeyeba ’s chest and later marveled at the work of two boys from Lagos, Nigeria who have made it their mission to magnify African culture and unite the global Black diaspora. Amplify Africa has hosted over 250 events in that time, including Afro Ball Gala; AFRICON, a multi-day conference and celebration of African culture, innovation and entrepreneurship that features panels and immersive experiences; and Afrolituation, which describes itself as the “ biggest Afrobeats party in North America.” This inspired Kujembola and Adeyeba to launch Pathway, a one-stop shop for people to discover their African roots through a DNA test; learn more about the food, music, fashion, language, history and more; book travel to the continent; and explore their motherland through the mobile and web platform, which will become available on Sept. 27.
