MISSION
We are a non-profit Womyn of African Descent and Womyn of Color organization that produce multi-cultural events of an artistic nature as nourishment for the human spirit. We provide a creative arts environment where Womyn of all orientations can exchange information, her-stories, knowledge and skills amongst each other and the community at large through performances, workshops, music festivals and seminars that express issues that affect our environment.
The Founder, Jean Wimberly started her work as a way to give Womyn of African Descent and Womyn of Color their first Womyn of Color East Coast Music Festival in 1993, since other festivals were so European in style and not fulfilling the cultural needs of multi-cultural Womyn. As a result, The Founder created the Womyn of Color Tent, which exists at Michfest today. The Womyn of Color Tent gave a voice to multi-cultural Womyn and provided a space where they could meet to share songs, drum, and discuss issues vital to them.
