Thank you to everyone who came out to the 35th Annual Kwanzaa Celebration at the American Museum of Natural History yesterday! It was an excellent program and we appreciate all the support that went out to each performer, vendor, and special guest. Ottoo Brand President Emilia A. Ottoo delivered a spirited original piece and introduced the dynamic Impact Repertory Theatre, while Restoration Dance Theatre Company, Balance Dance Theatre, Linda Humes, and Broadway’s Motown: The Musical brought down the house.

MK Asante‘s film, Q&A, and book signing was also excellent! If you didn’t catch MK Asante’s film screening of “The Black Candle” (which we highly recommend!) Please enjoy the trailer below.
