Did you know that @one_vibe_africa provides vocal, performance, and band training classes in Kisumu? Swipe left to learn how we have created a space for youth, emerging artists, and established artists to rehearse and sharpen their skills! This is the only space in Western Kenya that’s doing this consistently. Since 2013 over 1, 000 youth have benefited from our work and @apesi_starborn from @thecbkmusic is now leading this aspect of our Education Music and Art Program (EMAP), which is already increasing the number of participants in a massive way. We are grateful! ——————————————— Don’t forget to RSVP to our fundraising dinner on June 1st @naamnw today via link on our bio to enable us to continue this important work. ——————————————————— #IamOneVibeAfrica #DiasporaConnect #MitiNiDawa #MadarakaFest2019 #MadarakaTheDocumentary #kisumu #SpiritOfKisumu #OneVibeStudio #OneVibeFilms #kenya #music #art #poetry #education #youth #empowerment #Africa #AfricaRising #AfricaIsNow #AfroFuturism #Seattlelife #RiseUp #BeTheChange #DreamBig #Story #African #Instagood 📷: @ibrah_doc (at Northwest African American Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx_Qqzanguo/?igshid=13h3f15xtm3iy

Yesterday I was privileged to witness the ribbon cutting ceremony of @libertybankbuilding this was truly an historic moment for the black community in Seattle and beyond. I also learned a lot and what stood out for me educationally was to know the difference between an Ally and Abolitionist. I would not be telling the truth if I claimed that I understand the struggle of black people in America, but the amount of learning I am gaining is critical for me to continue equipping myself to be helpful in affecting changes and to answer questions from my inquisitive daughters. Shoutout to @wykingrmc for being in the frontline of seeing this amazing project through. —————————— ‪ #IamOneVibeAfrica #DiasporaConnect #MadarakaFest2019 #AvoleNight #MadarakaTheDocumentary #AfricanFatherInAmerica #kisumu #Seattle #OneVibeFilms #bookstagram #RootedInLove ‬#Sunday #positivevibes (at Liberty Bank Building) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvZJMRVgFPy/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ymmqhx5gcbpg
