What's Diaspora?

Diaspora is a animation series set in Ethiopia.
It follows 5 excluded animals from their tribe that have the fate of the world upon their shoulders.
Diaspora is a passion project that started back in mid-2022 between us 3 creators, Lelaw, Sleepy, and Diana.
In 2023, after our beloved main characters went through a few design changes, we invited our friends to help with animating, voice acting, etc. until we decieded, what if we promote Diaspora?
Since our first video on TikTok, it blew up and we got immense support from all of our followers.
We see that Diaspora will hopefully be a success and we want to thank all of you for making that happen!

Main Characters

Blair

VA: Sleepy
A young, kittenish and swift serval-she, a former tribe member to the Serval tribe in the North. She disliked how her tribe lacked curiosity and how they were happy staying in one place. She is adventurous, wanting to explore every bit of land possible. She wants more than just eating and sleeping on repeat.

Goose

VA: Rosy
A young fennec fox who longs to be a soldier and protect her tribe, but
the foxes don’t want her to start training because apparently her “impatient and fierce personality would get in the way.” She also likes hitting others, it’s a thing.

Bobbo

VA: Venus
A young, ambitious but clumsy Simien wolf male that longs to be heard, to be acknowledged properly, not just ignored. He has a goal he wants to achieve, one with an excellent idea that could save his tribe from starvation but his Queen has no time for his squabbling.

Blitz

VA: SkyeStudios
A young, timid but clever phantilien-she. A vegein that was somewhat well-known for coming up with great strategies but never proposed them, due to her fear of talking to other vegeins. Scared of their judgment. Terrified of being social so she has to find out how to communicate in different ways.

Stephen

VA: Thalluli
A young, short and sluggish bat-eared fox that usually finds himself at the back of a crowd. Luckily, he doesn’t mind all that much, he just wants to have a peaceful life with his bestfriend Goose.
