ABOUT THE EVENT:
Umoja: Two Paths, One Purpose
As we prepare for Kwanzaa 2025, we set the tone with the first and most powerful principle — Umoja (Unity). In this spirit of connection and collective healing, Ezibu Muntu and the Elegba Folklore Society come together to honor our shared purpose through drum, dance, and culture.
Join us for “The Power of We” — a day of rhythm, learning, and movement that celebrates unity, heritage, and healing within our community.
