First off, an increasing number of adolescents in the contemporary world identify as “The Lost African Children in the Diaspora.” These are people who were born and reared outside of Africa, but whose parents are from different areas of the continent. Their worldviews, identities, and experiences often differ significantly from their parents, creating a unique social and cultural problem.

1. Religion: The parents of these young people are African-born, and their religious beliefs are very different from theirs. Many of them do not hold the same religious beliefs as their parents. They could feel alienated from their family’s religious traditions and rituals because of this.
2. Language: Language is a powerful tool for establishing a link with one’s cultural heritage, but unfortunately most of these children do not speak the language of their parents. Instead, they speak to each other in their new country’s language. This language barrier may be the cause of this generational divide.
3. Cultural Knowledge: African youngsters who disappear regularly have no idea about their parents’ culture. They probably do not know of historical events, customs, or traditions. This alienation could be the cause of their incapacity to maintain a connection to their African roots.
4. Food: Although food is an essential part of any culture, most of these children rarely eat the traditional cuisines from their parents’ home nations. Because they are more accustomed to the regional food of their new country, they are even further cut off from their African heritage.
5. Extended Family: The extended family is highly valued in many African cultures. On the other hand, these children often do not know their relatives back home. The loss of these familial relationships could make one feel more alone.
6. Visiting the Homeland: A significant portion of these youths have never had the opportunity to visit their parents’ home country. It could be more difficult for them to form a strong connection with their ancestral homeland if they are unable to spend a lot of time there.
7. Identity and Acceptance: These children often struggle with their identity. They might not feel totally at home in their home country, and as legal residents, they could struggle to blend in with their peers and society. They could have a hard time fitting in and feel caught between two worlds.

In conclusion, The narrative of “The Lost African Children in the Diaspora” highlights the challenging changes that young Africans born overseas face. While they might not feel entirely at home in their parents’ traditions and culture, they are also not always accepted back home. They are traveling a unique and never-ending path to make peace between their cultural heritage and the world they live in today
