Events help us build community.
Mama Put
organized by ISSAMBA
"ISSAMBA Centre is a Black-led, Black-serving cultural and community organization advancing the visibility and appreciation of African and Afro-descendant cultures in Canada. Grounded in arts, culture, education, and community leadership, we serve as a hub where culture fosters connection, empowerment, and social inclusion. Through festivals, performances, educational programs, youth initiatives, and community dialogues, we create accessible spaces that strengthen community ties, support artistic expression, and contribute to a more inclusive cultural landscape."
By participating in ISSAMBA events,Victoria Grandmothers for Africa hope to support Black-led activities in Victoria, and make connections in the Black communities around us. Gather some friends and choose a time to go together.
