Afr!Ca Haus celebrated Black Music Month with a star-studded brunch in Hollywood Hills on June 29th, 2024, during the BET Experience weekend. The event, supported by sponsors like D’usse and Armand de Brignac Champagne, brought together influential figures from the entertainment industry to honor the contributions of Black musicians. Afr!Ca Haus aims to foster economic prosperity and cultural collaboration across the Black diaspora, creating opportunities in various sectors. Notable attendees included Bellah, BK, Focalistic, Angelica Nwandu, Michael Blackson, and Eric Bellinger.
The event’s impact was felt deeply by those who attended. Bellah, a nominee for the 2024 BET Award for Best International Act, shared her excitement, saying, “Afr!Ca Haus is about unity and celebration. I think it’s so important for the entire diaspora—African Americans, Black British people, Africans, Caribbean—to be amongst us and celebrate Black people because that’s essentially what unifies us.”
Angelica Nwandu, CEO of The Shade Room, echoed this sentiment, stating, “I have a passion for Africans, Caribbean, and Black Americans because I feel like we’re stronger together. We do have our little cultural differences, but I feel like we have a bigger bond than not.”
Afr!Ca Haus co-founder Franklin ‘Twizz’ David explained the event’s significance, saying, “Caribbean and African culture is at a pivotal moment and it is vital for us to extend ourselves to each other in these environments to foster real impact and change. Afr!Ca Haus is the haus for us to come together as one and remove the lines in the sand that separate us. This is our home. This is our Haus.”
