Hello Friends and Family,
In July of 2025 we opened the doors of Cabildo Ile Orisha and Manos Morenas Cultural Center. Our Ile’s mission is to uplift both the African Diaspora and Indigenous people’s art, culture, and stories. Our recent project, the FREE FOOD! program partners with Empress from Third Eye each Sunday. FREE FOOD! provides market fresh produce and shelf stable products to our community. We aim to reduce food waste and deepen connections with our communities. Every week we give out 40 bags of food to the community. This Sunday you can come through and be a part of our mission, and shop the FREE FOOD! Market.
In the past several months, we have also been hosting self-defense and martial arts classes, afro-cuban folkloric drumming, Lukumi Language classes. The center has hosted several cultural events including the Yemaya y Ochun Festival 2025 showcasing the traditions, arts, and histories of the diaspora.
On March 1st, 2026, we will be launching our Ile Oya Market! This event will be a full day of live music, performances, and hot food! The Ile Oya Market showcases small businesses in our community.
