Africa In America Presents "THE YARD SHOW:
A Celebration of African American Traditions"
THE YARD SHOW is an immersive experience in wellness, culture, and African American heritage.
Africa In America®, a global brand dedicated to celebrating and preserving the richness of African Diasporic traditions in the United States, is set to host an enriching event titled, "THE YARD SHOW: A Celebration of African American Traditions," on September 28th and 29th, 2024. This event will take place at THE MIRACLE THEATER in Inglewood and CRENSHAW YOGA & DANCE STUDIOS, providing participants with an opportunity to explore African American traditions that emphasize wellness and cultural heritage.
The Yard Show will offer interactive sessions designed to connect attendees with mindfulness practices and wellness resources passed down through generations. Participants will delve into the music and dance history of the African Diaspora, engaging in discussions that focus on incorporating these practices into daily life to enhance overall well-being.
Master workshops featuring top dancers from the TV and film industry will be a highlight, providing unique learning opportunities in dance and movement. We will also have, for the first time in LA, Farafina Kan! The event will also honor Congolese Master Dancer and Drummer Mabiba Baegne, recognizing her significant contributions to the community.
On September 29th, a free public space activation will take place on Crenshaw Boulevard between 54th and 57th Avenue. This public event is designed to bring the community together in a celebration of African American culture, with live performances, contests, and the chance to connect with like-minded individuals in a supportive environment.
Africa In America® was founded by Kara Mack, a performing artist, choreographer, and creative director with expertise in African Diasporic music and dance.

Through events, workshops, and its online hub, Africa In America® fosters a deeper understanding of the significance of African roots in contemporary culture.
The brand’s mission supports the preservation of the cultural heritage of the African Diaspora while promoting innovation and inclusivity. The Yard Show aligns with these goals, offering a platform for exploring the role of African American traditions in modern wellness and lifestyle practices.
