“We’re incredibly proud to mark this five-year milestone, especially after the tragic murder of George Floyd, which inspired the founding of Umoja Village,” said Donna Moore Wesby, cofounder and CEO of Umoja Village. “Umoja means ‘unity’ in Swahili, and through unity, we have been able to fill a critical void in our community. We hope to see the community come out to support our work.”
