For Ivorian Americans
Between Abidjan and America
Your pain is not wasted. It can become your people's medicine.
For the Ivorian American person working through what it means to carry Ivorian identity — the culture, the language, the family structures — into an American life
The Name It First Experience
Côte d'Ivoire has a distinct cultural identity — Abidjan's cosmopolitan character, its ethnic plurality, French language and West African tradition woven together. You carry that into America, where most people cannot name your country correctly. You navigate being African in America while being specifically Ivorian. This workbook names what that identity is and what it means to you. The output is not a general diaspora reflection. It is Your Ivorian American Statement — a signed account of who you are between Abidjan and here.
You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.
Sample questions
- What does it mean to be Ivorian American — between Abidjan and the life you're building here?
- What does Ivorian identity mean to you personally — what does it give you, what does it ask?
- What are you building in America with what your family carried from Côte d'Ivoire?
