Mission
The mission of Giwayen Mata is to heal and uplift our communities by presenting and teaching culturally relevant dances, rhythms, and songs that celebrate the lives of women of the African Diaspora.
Program accomplishments
- During 2025, Giwayen Mata successfully produced Kwanzaa Freshii RBG, a sold-out, self-produced, multi-generational community concert featuring over 70 artists ages 5 to 60+ performing in dance, drumming, music, and stagecraft. Through rehearsals, workshops, performances, and youth-centered cultural enrichment activities, Kwanzaa Freshii provided artistic training, leadership development, mentorship, and professional-level production experience rooted in African diasporic arts traditions at low or no cost to families. Audience feedback surveys reflected overwhelmingly positive community impact, with attendees describing the experience as culturally enriching, empowering, educational, healing, inspiring, and deeply meaningful. Survey responses also demonstrated strong intergenerational and regional engagement and highlighted the programs success in strengthening community connection, cultural pride, artistic expression, and appreciation for African diasporic arts and traditions.Expenses $22,196 · grants $16,285 · revenue $4,266

The production highlighted the contributions of Black women leaders, activists, educators, and cultural bearers while creating opportunities for collaborative cultural expression and preservation through the performing arts. The program served an intergenerational audience with a combined seating capacity of 272 attendees, and survey responses from 45 attendees reflected strong community impact and overwhelmingly positive experiences. Audience members ranged in age from 2677, with the largest age group being ages 4655; the majority identified as Black/African American/African Descent (89%) and female (80%).
