Black Excellence Showcase | Escaparate de excelencia de persona morena

We are excited and deep into the planning of the Journey Through The Decades of Black Excellence Showcase that happens on April 26th. This year the theme is “When We Were Kings and Queens.” 

We will focus on the time prior to being enslaved and the greatness of that history. The history that we are not taught and that is often unknown to us.

The showcase is about our community coming together to have fun while learning and enjoying Fellowship & Food. 

If you have a talent that you want to share or you know an individual or group that should be seen/heard this is the place for them. We want all people- men, women, boys and girls of all ages and races to demonstrate and celebrate Black Excellence with us. If you have a business, product or information you want to share with the community this is a great opportunity to do so.

Here’s a link to find out more and sign-up/register. Take a look at what you might see.
