About Course
“Identity is not a prison; it is an orchestra. The mask is not a disguise; it is a portal to your invisible power.”
This course is delivered in the Italian language
Many second-generation professionals and Diaspora leaders feel crushed between two worlds. You are told you are “too African for Italy” or “too Italian for Africa.” You experience Identity Fatigue, the exhaustion of constantly switching between contexts without a strategy. You feel like you are losing yourself in the middle.
Strategic Pivot: Stop viewing your dual identity as a conflict. Start viewing it as Multilingual Mastery. In African anthropology, the mask reveals an invisible truth. Your ability to navigate different codes isn’t “hypocrisy”, it is Conscious Agency.
“A degree in the Diaspora is a diamond found in the ice. It is a collective victory. Stop asking for permission to be yourself; use your rhythms to change the speed of Italy. Your heritage is not a weight that slows you down—it is the fuel that pushes you beyond.”
