ABOUT

Our Story

Daughters Across the Diaspora was founded on the belief in the transformative power of entrepreneurship. For over four years, Daughters Across the Diaspora has been dedicated to empowering women of color by providing comprehensive business development courses, mentorship, and support. In today’s world, women of color face unique challenges in the business world—challenges that are often compounded by limited access to capital, systemic barriers, and a lack of tailored support. While women of color are the fastest-growing group of entrepreneurs in the U.S., they struggle to secure the resources necessary to sustain and grow their businesses. 

This has created a significant gap in opportunity, one that Daughters Across the Diaspora is committed to closing. By providing tools, mentorship, and financial assistance, our mission is to help women build businesses, achieve economic independence, and break the cycle of poverty. Today, we continue to support their journey toward success and community impact, creating a brighter future for generations to come.

Deyonne Primo 

Daughters Across the Diaspora Founder

Growing up, she witnessed her family's success as business owners, seeing how entrepreneurship provided financial stability and the means to uplift their community. When her family immigrated to America, this spirit flourished, inspiring Ms. Primo to pursue a degree in business, and equipping her to make a meaningful impact.
 
Ms. Primo recognized that many women of color, especially those from low-income backgrounds, had untapped potential but lacked the resources to turn their visions into sustainable businesses. This realization led her to create **Daughters Across the Diaspora** to empower women of color through entrepreneurship.
