Black Futures Kuumba! Contest Submission Form
Black Futures is a month-long celebration of the rich history, contributions, and culture of the African Diaspora. Guided by the Ghanaian principle of Sankofa, Black Futures Month learns from the past to build a thriving future. This year’s theme is Kuumba! A Celebration of Black Creativity, Innovation, and Technology. Kuumba (pronounced koo-OOM-bah) is the Swahili word for creativity and the 6th principle of Kwanzaa which emphasizes a commitment to using our skills and talents to make the community more beautiful and beneficial than when we inherited it. Our inaugural Creatives Contest is an opportunity for young creatives to showcase their talent while celebrating the rich history and presence of Black people in science, technology, engineering, arts, and math fields.
