CULTURE AND COMMUNITY

Our Commitment

Connecting people. Mentoring youth. Uplifting artists

Limited resources and funding, cultural stereotypes, biases, language barriers, and institutional challenges all pose challenges to our dream of seeing a West Michigan that loves and embraces the African Diaspora.

 

We’re keen on fostering cultural awareness and appreciation for African cultures.

 

Together, we can create a world where diversity is celebrated, and everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
