A bilingual community for Africans living in America
Welcome to Lisanga Space. Free bilingual gatherings in Dallas where Africans from different countries and generations meet, learn and grow alongside one another.
Why Lisanga Space
Because we believe you shouldn't need a birthday, a wedding, a funeral or any other traditional occasion to have a reason to gather.
Lisanga Space creates more opportunities for Africans living in America to simply come together, connect, have meaningful conversations, learn, share, have fun and grow across cultures and generations.
Because sometimes, the reason to gather can simply be each other.

Our mission is to strengthen community among Africans living in America, with inclusive bilingual ways to connect, learn, grow and support one another beyond traditional occasions.
