We Are Tribe
The Galactic Tribe is a 501c-3 organization that cultivates communities through
intergenerational workshops and programming. After the release of Marvel’s
Black Panther film in 2018, our founders assembled workshops, movie
discussion nights, and parties to explore our community’s ideas about
blackness in the future. These conversations made one thing clear: more of
these gatherings were necessary.
Soon after, Marvel released the “Black Panther: The
Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda” comic series. Its content garnered even more
attention on Afrofuturist and African Diasporic conversations. Almost a year
later, we hosted our first Wakanda Alliance Program, using both Black Panther
and Shuri titles as a nexus for teaching young boys and girls. We soon noticed
that parents and guardians stuck around to learn alongside them. A tribe began
to form as the programs welcomed various artists, activists, teachers, and
others - our collective took shape, and donned ourselves as The Galactic Tribe.
We have hosted over 30 workshops, featured guest talents from the U.S., U.K.,
and Kenya, and now employee teens to learn our methods of programming and
get involved with their community.
Our workshops continue to tackle the topics of
liberation
representation
social & environmental justice
education & health reform
And the upward growth of societies everywhere. There Are Black People In The Future.
