Get up off that thing.
“If you want to go fast go alone, but if you want to go far go together.” —African Proverb
I have been working with Yvonne Nsabimana Baraketse and Ngoma y’Africa for over thirteen years. We have done so many cool things together. I will always be working on some kind of dance project with a beautiful team of dancers and drummers and I plan to be involved with this group for the rest of my life.
Ngoma y’Africa is dedicated to teaching the community about African cultures and to creating a support network for African descent families in Utah.
You can benefit from the following programs:
Engage individuals of all ages in various classes and workshops on African arts, cultures, history, traditions, languages, dance, drumming, and Afro Cuisine.
Experience Africa through cultural projects, stage performances, African heritage festivals, intercultural events, and presentations at school assemblies, churches, corporations, marriages, and holiday celebrations such as Black History month, Christmas, and Kwanzaa.
Empowering our community by offering resources, youth mentorship, financial literacy and health classes, and by providing performer's scholarships, rental assistance, or stipends.
Creating partnership opportunities between African entrepreneurs and Utah businesses by providing investment resources and networking opportunities.
At our culture learning center, we aim to create a safe environment where different cultures come together in the African spirit of UBUNTU of diversity, humanity, unity, partnership, collaboration, and inclusion.
