2026 Black Excellence Calendar
Our 4th Annual Black Excellence Calendar is Here!
Umoja is Swahili for Unity. In an effort to promote unity and to celebrate the greatness within us as a people, The Umoja Village Nonprofit Corporation is proud and pleased to present our 4th Annual Umoja Village Celebrates Black Excellence calendar. This year’s theme is “Community Influencers.”
Each year, Umoja Village selects a new theme to celebrate Black Excellence to salute everyday Blacks and African Americans who are blazing trails or have established a foundation on which we stand. These calendars are annual collector’s items and reminders of how far we’ve come as a people as we press toward the mark of a higher calling. Proceeds from the Umoja Village Celebrates Black Excellence calendar projects support the Umoja Village Resource Center and the overall mission of this God-inspired organization.
