Oberlin African Students Association

Oberlin African Students Association ASA is an Oberlin student organization which aims to educate our campus as well as our members about the diverse cultures of our continent.

Our mission is to culturally empower the Oberlin College and the Oberlin Community body at large to become socially, politically, and critically aware of African Cultures. Our goal is to examine the complexities of Africa as a continent by looking at the diversity of each country, and to understand these diversities through a sociopolitical and sociocultural lens. Through discussions, intercultura

l events, and interactive workshops, we hope to dispel the myths about Africa and to create deeper understanding of the people of African descent. Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Ethiopia, Zimbabwe, and Eritrea, and Madagascar are just a few countries that constitute the vast continent of Africa. Through glimpse of Africa - the food, the music, and the languages- we hope to provide an insight into our continent.

Thank you so much to those who made it to the Revival Banquet; it was a night to remember and we hope you had as good a time as we did. For anyone who couldn’t make it, we are still open to donations this week. We will be taking Venmo payments till Friday, April 27th. Any amount would be appreciated (suggested $5). To incentivize the process, we’ll be giving away food to students who make donations! We have a significant amount of food left that we would be happy to share so you better have tupperware ready. If you would like to pay with cash, please gave it to an ASA member. We appreciate your continued support of the Yakubu Saaka Fund and look forward to seeing you at the next event :)
