Community dialogue to serve as pathways for exploring, designing, and implementing antidotes for, among other things, gun violence, the school-to-prison-pipeline, structural racism, gentrification, blight, criminal justice and prison reform, and inequities in education, health, and economics.

House of Umoja's Co-Founder and President, Queen Mother Falaka Fattah shares, "Spring is synonymous with rebirth, rejuvenation, regrowth, resurrection and renewal. With that in mind, the House Of Umoja, Inc. continues in its tradition to bring together our community’s healers, thinkers, visionaries, griots, entrepreneurs, activists and youths to exchange and share ideas and solutions that will transform our community into an economically, spiritually, psychologically, and emotionally vibrant oasis that protects its most vulnerable members – Our Children, the Next Generation Of Leaders, Husbands, Fathers, Wives, and Mothers -- and Our Elders, the jewels of our community. Solutions, much like wisdom, come from all places. Each Saturday we meet at the House Of Umoja, Inc. Together those in the community who have ideas and solutions that will bring about rebirth, rejuvenation, regrowth, resurrection, renewal, and peace in our neighborhoods. Every idea is important. Every voice must be heard and dialogue can bring about healing and peace.”

Organized by

At this time the House of Umoja's single focus is establishing a peace academy, The Fattah Peace Academy & Campus. Like men study war, we want to leave a legacy that studies and creates pathways to peace for our youth now and their children and their children's children. Your support of our event brings us one step closer to realizing this dream.

"Imagine an urban inner-city campus where young people ages 12 to 25 become the moral equivalent to antibodies. Imagine youth who are trained as Peace Ambassadors to help end violence in their communities while realizing their own potential within an environment that is culturally rich and educationally relevant. Imagine these youth having this experience on a campus that is a replica of one of the most beautiful cities in the world, the ancient African city of Djennè. Imagine a place where students also learn Aquaponics, Aviation, Web 3 Technologies, and Coding. Securing the future of the community requires an educated, motivated, and non-violent workforce. To do so the work must begin with our youth while providing opportunities for community participation." - Queen Mother Falaka Fattah, Founder/President/CEO
