Get Ready for an Evening of Soulful Bliss as we honor the Ancestors with AfriKin Story of the Orisha This Saturday in Overtown...

Allow me to personally invite you to join Afrikin as we journey south this summer, riding the sunset on August 17th, for an unforgettable celebration of culture and heritage at the Historic D. A. Dorsey House in Overtown.

This unique event will feature live music, a Drum Circle honoring the Orishas, storytelling, and a compelling art exhibit about the book bans affecting South Florida, in alignment with the "On The Ban Wagon" exhibit.


We will gather to pour libations and honor our roots with 'Story of the Orisha,' featuring the soulful Melissa Moonchild. Experience the rich history of the Orisha through enchanting music, captivating art, and powerful storytelling. Let the spirits of our ancestors guide you through an evening filled with deep cultural resonance and vibrant expressions.

Although they may try to ban our books, they can never silence our voices. Celebrate our enduring legacy on the Honorable Marcus Mosiah Garvey's day.


Join us on Saturday, August 17th, at 7 PM at the Historic D. A. Dorsey House, located at 250 NW 9th Street, Miami, Florida, in Overtown.

Dear Sponsors and Investors,

We hope this message finds you well and in good spirits.


On behalf of the AfriKin Foundation, we extend our heartfelt gratitude for your generous support and unwavering commitment to our mission. Your contributions have been instrumental in driving our initiatives and enabling us to make a significant impact both locally and globally. It is with profound appreciation that we acknowledge your role in helping us champion the cause of cultural enrichment, artistic expression, and community development.


The work we do at the AfriKin Foundation goes beyond organizing art fairs and cultural events; it is about fostering a sense of unity, preserving cultural heritage, and empowering communities. Your funding has allowed us to support emerging artists, provide educational programs, and create platforms for underrepresented voices. These efforts have not only enriched our local community but have also resonated globally, promoting a deeper understanding and appreciation of African art and culture.


As we look ahead, the importance of your continued support cannot be overstated. The funds we receive are the lifeblood of our organization, enabling us to:

  1. Expand Educational Programs: Our workshops, lectures, and mentorship programs are vital in nurturing the next generation of artists and cultural leaders. Your support ensures that these programs remain accessible and impactful.

  2. Support Emerging Artists: By providing resources, exhibition opportunities, and financial assistance, we help artists realize their potential and share their work with a broader audience. This not only benefits the artists but also enriches the cultural fabric of our community.

  3. Promote Cultural Heritage: Through our events and initiatives, we celebrate and preserve the rich cultural traditions of Africa and the diaspora. This is crucial in fostering a sense of identity and pride within our community and beyond.

  4. Advocate for Social Change: Art is a powerful tool for social commentary and change. Your funding allows us to create platforms that address critical issues such as climate change, social justice, and economic empowerment, driving positive change both locally and globally.

We depend on the generosity of sponsors and investors like you to continue this important work. Your contributions are not just financial; they are a testament to your belief in our mission and a commitment to making a difference. As we prepare for the upcoming AfriKin Art Fair and other future initiatives, we invite you to continue this journey with us. Your ongoing support will ensure that we can sustain and expand our efforts, reaching more people and creating a lasting impact.


Thank you once again for your invaluable support. Together, we are building a brighter future, one that honors our heritage, celebrates our present, and inspires our future. We look forward to your continued partnership and to achieving even greater heights together.

With deepest gratitude,
