Our Mission
Fifteen years ago, Founder/CEO Kara Mack made a strategic and radical decision to focus on music and dance styles from the African Diaspora after years of classical training in both respective fields. As she began to practice these different art forms she recognized that in society these styles are seen as electives and hobbies artistically that in turn force them to fall short of being respected as technical styles. Kara wanted to change this reality and decided to create the trademarked brand, Africa in America in 2014; a brand that serves as a primary resource for both professionals and participants of African Diasporic music, dance, arts and culture in America.
