Welcome to Black Migrants Support Initiative

We get it. Leaving your familiar ground, the food smells, the corner store owner who remembers your name - that's tough. Especially when you're Black and navigating a whole new world. That's where the Black Migrant Support Initiative (BMSI) steps in. We're a community built by Black migrants, for Black migrants, because we know the journey isn't always easy.
