Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at African Cultural Fashion Heritage
At African Cultural Fashion Heritage (ACFH), Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) are not just values—they are the foundation of everything we do.
We are committed to building an inclusive and equitable platform that celebrates the richness of African culture while embracing the diverse identities, voices, and talents within our global community.
Diversity
ACFH honors the broad spectrum of cultural, ethnic, and creative identities across Africa, the Caribbean, and the African diaspora. We welcome individuals of all backgrounds—regardless of race, gender, age, religion, sexual orientation, or ability—who share a passion for fashion, culture, and empowerment. From the runway to the boardroom, diversity is our strength and our pride.
Equity
We believe in leveling the playing field for historically underrepresented creatives and entrepreneurs. ACFH works to dismantle barriers that limit access to opportunities and resources in the fashion industry by offering inclusive programming, mentorship, and visibility for emerging designers, artisans, and models—especially those from marginalized communities.
Inclusion
Inclusion means creating safe, respectful, and empowering spaces where every voice matters. Whether on stage, behind the scenes, or in the audience, we foster a culture of belonging and ensure that all participants feel seen, heard, and valued. We celebrate cultural heritage not as a trend, but as a living legacy that connects us all.
Through fashion, art, and storytelling, ACFH is redefining what it means to be inclusive in a global industry. Our events, initiatives, and partnerships are guided by a vision of a more just, representative, and connected world—one where African culture shines brightly and where all creatives can thrive.
ACFH stands for culture, for community, and for change. Together, we are weaving a future built on equity, shaped by diversity, and powered by inclusion.
