The political education continues 🌀 with Mama Hanifa's elucidating the spiritual life of Dr. George Washington Carver.

There is bountiful wisdom and power in following our patron saint of agriculture, Dr. Carver, his philosophy, and his footsteps.

In it, is the remembrance and application of an ancient science native to African Americans. A universal understanding that everything is alive; and has a purpose.

This Lightning Talk took place at the Mama Imani Humphrey Banquet Hall, a 3,000 sq. ft community space available for events, weddings, baby showers, conferences, and much more.

Manners Will Take You Places Money Won't 🏁

Full house for the world premiere of Cashawn Myers' documentary film and book signing at the Mama Imani Humphrey Banquet Hall this past week!

Cashawn's story is one of love and self-determination. Manners Will Take You Places Money Won't: My Journey From the Backwoods of Georgia to the Rainforests of West Africa explores Cashawn being shaped by community, guided by spirit, and unquestionably committed to African liberation, sustainability, and service through the stages and phases of his life.

Thank you to Cashawn for being a great inspiration and for all of those who bore witness. Hopefully it won't take a decade for your next return to Detroit!
