Ubuntu Nerudo African Heritage's Mission Statement:

We recognize that the concept of ‘Ubuntu’- I am because we are – is what defines the African people’s strong sense of community and working together.

We therefore aim to be a leading voice in advocating for the preservation of African culture and heritage by promoting storytelling and showcasing language, art and culture of people of African descent in the USA.

Love is the key driving principle of who we are and what we do.
