who we are…

ABISA

the african bureau for immigrants and social affairs

 

we are a collection of life experiences. global dwellers in a ship moored in the waters of turtle island, reimagining the administrative banks of a welcoming society. a society steep in blvck immigrants' joy; celebrating blvck immigrants' freedom of movement; where blvck immigrants' voices are heard, blvck immigrant humanity is valued, blvck immigrants' expertise seen, and blvck immigrants' lives are centered.
