BAAADU FESTIVAL INC.

Hello & welcome to the BRIDGING AFRICAN AMERICANS AND THE AFRICAN DIASPORA UNITY FESTIVAL (the BAAADU FESTIVAL, also known as BAAADU Festival Inc.). We are honored to share our mission and story with you as a part of this worthy endeavor to bridge countries as well as cultures within the African Heritage.

The BAAADU FESTIVAL is bridging the gap between the African Americans and the African Diaspora in Unity. The festival is a diverse community rich in culture, heritage, and knowledge represented by countries throughout the globe coming together to teach each other about our history, present, and future. In doing so, BAAADU reaches across continents to find extraordinary talent in business, entertainment, & cultural influence to create opportunities for people who otherwise would not have the voice or reach to share their talents with the world. We believe in creating these opportunities and re-educating the world.

We are committed to the re-education in America of Africans and African Americans and their absolute contribution to the human existence. We are achieving this goal by celebrating and highlighting the different and creative identities of people across the United States of America and Africa and the Diaspora through the lens of arts, culture, and heritage. This festival commemorates the historical roots and rich diversity of African Americans and Africans throughout the Diaspora by showcasing the enormous variety of cultural experiences from music, performing arts, health, education, entertainment, politics, environment, community engagement, economic empowerment, networking commerce opportunities, trade, cultural influence and nutrition as well as providing a vibrant marketplace rich in goods and commodities from around the world.

THE BAAADU VISION

This is a great opportunity to experience everything from business & trade opportunities to francophone music to global fashion designers, to a cinematic experience from movie makers across the seas, to an artisanal marketplace. Unlike any other festival, in our commitment to unify the Diaspora with the U.S. and other countries, BAAADU will travel around the world sharing our message of unity.... we are one!
