Introducing the

MAKAANI
MEMBERSHIP

A Space for the Culturally Connected

For the first time, there’s a space built by us and for us. There’s no space quite like this — where the diaspora connects not only with each other but also with their roots. Just wisdom shared, stories honored, and futures co-created. From Brazil to Palestine, from Vietnam to Zanzibar.

For €3.99/month, the Makaani Membership offers more than access. It offers alignment with your values, your heritage, and a global network of people who move like you.

Belonging starts
here

The Membership is designed to connect you with people, cultures, and opportunities. It’s more than access, it’s a community and a network shaped by heritage, diversity and future-oriented leadership.
It comes in two forms:

Cultural membership for inspiration & everyday guidance

  • Discover curated recommendations for conscious places, ethical brands, and cultural experiences around the world. Perfect if you are looking for guidance on where to stay, eat, shop, or connect, always with values at the core.

    We strongly believe that making conscious choices about where to shop and travel has a significant impact on both a local and global scale. The Guide Membership is here to help you do just that.

    Here’s what you’ll get as a member:

    • Access to curated travel & shopping guides supporting ethical, local, and independent brands — to help you make conscious choices.

    • Local events in key cities — from cultural meetups to business mixers, roundtables and retreats.


    • Member-only perks, travel deals, and cultural experiences from our exclusive partners.

Professional membership for entrepreneurs, leaders & companies

  • Connect with a global community of innovators, diasporas, and purpose-driven brands. Perfect if you want to be part of an exclusive business network that creates opportunities across Europe, MENA, and beyond.

    Here’s what you’ll get:

    • Access to mentors, collaborators, and creatives across various industries who understand your vision.


    • Quarterly scholarship awards: chance to win a fully covered 3-month mentorship with a mentor of your choice

    • A purpose-led job platform and collaboration network, spotlighting brands and leaders who reflect our values.


    • Local events in key cities — from cultural meetups to business mixers, roundtables and retreats.


    • Carefully curated educational content by our board members in the form of mini-series, podcasts and articles.

    But that’s not all. Your membership helps finance the scholarships awarded each quarter, directly supporting creatives and entrepreneurs in the diaspora — so when you join, you’re not just accessing a network. You’re helping others build theirs.

    This is how we grow, not through division, but by unity.
 By reconnecting our diaspora to its wisdom, to its land, and to each other. By creating a future where we all thrive — on our own terms. The first 500 Members will receive a special Gift Bag featuring some of our most loved and meaningful brands.

Finally, a space that speaks your language culturally, emotionally, and globally. This is not just a membership.

It’s your missing link.

Be the first to shape a new kind of global community.
