Opening Windows to Your Roots and Heritage
We are a global network, digital magazine, and cultural movement celebrating heritage, identity, and diaspora connections through storytelling, travel, and community.
Makaani, which means "my place" in Arabic, is all about finding where you belong. It's a space where we explore and celebrate the rich cultures outside the Western world, offering fresh perspectives on heritage and identity.
Makani calls out to anyone wanting a deeper connection with their culture and those curious about the global ties that link us all. Here, we share and honor stories of resilience, creativity, and traditions. It empowers you to own your unique background while helping us all understand and appreciate the variety of cultures around us.
Through Makani, you can dive into the stories of your past, shape the narrative of your present, and imagine a future where every cultural story is important. Our journey aims to create a world that values every voice and story, building a collective understanding of our shared humanity.

MAKAANI STORIES
Redefining Narratives
Redefining Narratives
Media rules the world in more ways than we often acknowledge, crafting narratives that shape our understanding and relationships across global communities. This realization is at the heart of why we're launching MAKAANI.
By elevating voices, brands and innovation from the Arab, African, Latin American, and Asian world, we place them at the heart of our global collective consciousness.
Our mission is to gather influential voices to profoundly reshape global thinking. We aim to create a media outlet that provides a space for progressive brands to invest in and disrupt existing narratives and media landscapes.
MAKAANI is our tool to redefine and reshape the world into one, where, ultimately, we are all equal—where there's no room for outdated narratives, but for stories the world truly needs to hear.
