African American Kontra Association (AAKA) Expo has been created to celebrate Juneteenth, highlight local artists and entrepreneurs, and help gather donations for the houseless community. We are striving to uplift and bring the Black Community together to be able to network and connect in a safe space. Through a curated night of fashion shows, performance arts, raffles, and more we aim to provide a platform where local entrepreneurs and artists can grow their network.
Created by artists to gain income, share skills and connect the dots for life long collaborations!

This is intended as a safe space for the artists/vendors, LGBTQIA+ communities. no hate, no homophobia, no transphobia, no racism, no unkind & unsafe behavior will be tolerated.

If any participant is disrespectful, can't follow directions and/or creates a hostile working environment will we not work with you, and you will be booted with the swiftness. Be kind, be patient, we are a very very small team.
