Kiamsha 20th Anniversary:
Celebrating Five Generations of Leadership.
SAVE THE DATE Sept 6th for the 20th Anniversary Gala
Started in 1992 by founder, Dorothy F. Bailey, Kiamsha’s mission is to empower youth through the use of history, peer and intergenerational interaction. Over the last 20 years Kiamsha, “that which awakens me” in Swahili, has served over 1,000 Prince George’s County and Washington Metropolitan youth. This year in partnership with the National Alliance of Faith and Justice, National Capital Area CARES, and The Association of Black Psychologists we implement the Pen or Pencil: Writing a New History mentor-based initiative.
