I didn’t even know there was a Virginia African Diaspora Heritage Month until I heard about this event. WOW! Amazing job connecting the continent to us and the rest of the Diaspora. I never even considered Africans being in Peru! Top notch dancing and cultural performances. Longer next time!"

African Heritage Dance & Drumming Workshop
Generations of the community came together and created MAGIC at the African Heritage Dance & Drumming Workshop at Norfolk State University on November 21 and 22, 2005. THANK YOU to our participants, volunteers, drummers, presenters; and the Norfolk State University Health & Wellness Initiative and NSU Dance Theatre and Dr. Sheila Ward for hosting us! The African Heritage Dance & Drumming Workshop was made possible with a Challenge America grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.
VA African Diaspora Month Commemoration
On September 10, we kicked off Virginia's African Diaspora Heritage Month with a commemoration at the Old Dominion University in Norfolk, VA. We thank: the VA African Diaspora Committee for making Bill HJ133 proclaiming every September as African Diaspora Heritage Month a reality; Distinguished guests, local leaders - Norfolk Delegate Jackie Hopes Glass and Mayor Dr. Kenny Alexander - and international dignitaries - HE Joaquim do Espírito Santo, Angolan Ambassador to the US - for their attendance and participation; and the Old Dominion University Department of Sociology and Criminal Justice, Office of Academic Affairs, Office of Community Relations, and Office of Intercultural Relations for hosting and making the event physically possible; Eastern VA Medical School for health screenings; and support and funding from VA Humanities, Prosper Africa, and the Hampton Roads Community Foundation.
VB GIGS: Song & Dance of Ghana
A quick video compilation created by the City of VA Beach Arts & Humanities Commission, which sponsored this engaging program for our community, featuring Jamin Beats, Onyansapow Bowaanopow, Asaase Yaa Cultural Foundation, and the TACA Diaspora Dance Ensemble. What a great time we had on May 20!
