“Émume is a cultural initiative designed to serve three core communities: African immigrants longing for a taste of home, Black Americans seeking a deeper connection to their roots, and Minnesotans wanting to experience West African cultures without traveling across the ocean.” – Korma Aguh-Stuckmayer, CEO of Afrocontigbo
