As part of our “For the Culture” 20th anniversary weekend we will be having a Gala event called “The Cultural Affair” on Saturday October 26th. We will be giving 5 awards honoring local folk who do great work that we admire 💜 Liana is one of them ✊🏾
.
. “Dear Ms. Liana Ambrose-Murray,
SpiritHouse Inc. would like to honor you with the Sankofa Cultural Alchemist Award...The Sankofa award, in honor of the late Umar Muhammad, is awarded to a person who is doing the work of honoring the past through innovative remixing of Culture.
The concept of Sankofa comes from the Akan people of Ghana, who believed that learning from the past ensured a strong future. Many people can make art, and many people can share their gifts, but few sit at the feet of their elders to inform their art with curious and open hearts. In your dedicated study of the historic and extensive network of Black cultural alchemists, you have taught us how to honor and innovate from within.”
Thank you for everything you are doing for the black community ✊🏾
