MASHUJAA
The Mashujaa Black History Month Celebration was founded in 2019 by Kombii Nanjalah of Great Lakes Networking Society of BC and produced by Bradley Achtem of Communities of Greater Vancouver. The purpose of this event is to promote and celebrate the rich history and culture of the African diaspora in Greater Vancouver and around the world. Moreover, the event aims to shine a light on everyday people of African descent who are making extraordinary differences in their communities. These fine people can be defined by one word – Mashujaa which is a Swahili word for heroes.
