ONUMBA.COM – TAWI Family Village, a Columbus group ferociously committed to promoting a way of life, education and cultural consciousness rooted deep in African ethos, organized an event to observe the ‘First Night of Kwanzaa.’
It was held at the Columbus Africentric School on Livingston Avenue on December 26, 2010 at 6:00 p.m. An enthusiastic crowd of community leaders, activists, parents and students attended the family clambake.
It was jam-packed with activities, bunting with all kinds of cultural expressions, drumming, poems, storytelling, student performances, singing of the Black National Anthem, and community updates.
One of the highlights of the gathering was the presentation of awards to eight community organizations that “have practiced Ujima – Collective Work and Responsibility” in Columbus.
Onumba Communications, publisher of Onumba.com, is proud and humbled to be a recipient of the Ujima community award.
The staff and management of Onumba Media Group (OMG) would like to thank TAWI Family Village for the award, and most importantly, for the commitment it has shown over the years building a Columbus community and Black families rooted in Africentric culture, consciousness, respect and responsibility.
