Harambee (a Swahili word that means, Let us all pull together) is back by popular demand. Harambee was held first in 2002. It is about Afrikan / Black peoples coming together to talk with each other, listen to each other, and explore ways of supporting each other.
Harambee events may range from informal affairs lasting a few hours, in which invitations are spread by word of mouth, to formal, multi-day events advertised in newspapers. A Harambee is an action; there is a will, an energy and strength behind it. It signifies the work of a whole community. You cannot do a Harambee alone. The invitation to “do Harambee” is an extension, in a certain sense, of membership into the African community
Bring It On invites Ms. Oyibo Afoaku, a higher education professional, to discuss the Harambee concept, her desire to host an Harambee event, and her motivation behind this.
