On June 5, 2021, the University Place Mall in Orem, Utah hosted its first ever African Heritage Festival. We applaud their stance towards social and communal inclusivity of all. Their efforts are innovative, relevant, and foster respect. They honor our racial and ethnic diversity in a state and community not statistically known for its diverse culture, particularly black communities. The theme of the African Heritage Festival 2021 was “Healing through the UBUNTU SPIRIT of oneness and acceptance.” The festival was a great success. We estimated that over 500 people attended. People of all ages and backgrounds watched the performances, participated in the various workshops and games, enjoyed the food, and learned from the booths and presentations.

Ngoma y'Africa Cultural Center (NACC) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization established in the year 2016. We are dedicated to teaching the community about the African culture by engaging individuals of all ages in various classes and workshops on African history, languages, dance, and drumming, by showcasing the beauty of African arts and crafts, by organizing stage performances, festivals, and events in conference centers, and by presenting at school assemblies, churches, corporations, marriages, and holiday celebrations such as Black History month, Kwanzaa, and more.

At our culture learning center, we aim to create a safe environment where different cultures come together and participate in activities that will create a support network for African descents from across the world, understand others, and build a broader global community.
