45th Independence Day • Global Convergence

For the first time ever, our global diaspora can be Home for Independence Day.

4,000 miles from St. John's, but under one sovereign roof.

If you can't touch down at V.C. Bird International on 1 November, touch down on ABDiaspora. No corporate algorithms. No noise. Just the family table set for every Antiguan and Barbudan worldwide.

Step 2: The Family Duty

Don't Come Home Alone. Bring 3 With You.

For decades, our community has been scattered across closed living rooms and fragmented corporate social apps. Real nation-building happens when we bring our whole family under our sovereign digital roof.

Generate your personal Homecoming Boarding Link below and WhatsApp it to 3 Antiguan or Barbudan relatives or friends. When all 3 check in, unlock the Sapphire Founding Host badge on your ABDiaspora profile.
