A desire to write a black narrative not about the loss of the diaspora, but rather a celebration of what was and still is.
— Daudi M., Creative Director

Black history does not begin with slavery.

It does not begin with a people’s removal from the world’s cradle.

It does not begin with shackles, suffering, and sorry.

We are a proud, strong, and beautiful people. A desire to write a black narrative not about the loss of the diaspora, but rather a celebration of what was and still is.

A showing of the various cultures found in Africa and her nations, the places that each of us proudly call home. Our identity as Africans. A tapestry of color, culture, and celebration.
