#AfricaDay #AfricaDayCH #AfricaDay2022 Africa Day is the annual commemoration of the foundation of the Organization of African Unity which took place on 25th May 1963. Africa Day was formerly known as African Freedom Day and African Liberation Day. It is celebrated in various countries in the African continent, as well as around the world. The organization was transformed into the African Union on 9th July 2002 in Durban, South Africa, but marking the holiday continues to be celebrated worldwide annually on 25th May. For Africa Day 2022, One Vibe Africa will be hosting a 24-hour Digital Marathon. One Vibe Africa produced Africa Day at the Gates Foundation’s Discovery Center in 2018, 2019, and in 2021, the Africa Day celebration took place on Clubhouse, a social audio app. That event was attended by over 10,000 people. In alignment with the African Union’s official Africa Day theme for 2022, our theme this year is “Sustaining a Healthy Africa”. Throughout the day’s festivities, we will be taking over Clubhouse’s platform by hosting a day’s worth of conversations on topics such as food conservation, indigenous languages and African spirituality as well as poetry, musical performances, and keynote speeches from esteemed guests including Cristina Duarte who serves as the Special Adviser on Africa to United Nations Secretary‑General António Guterres. This is a unique opportunity for you to join us in making the second Africa Day on Clubhouse possible, associate your brand with diverse people of African descent worldwide, and educate your team and community through our carefully designed Africa Day celebration. Together, we will facilitate a diverse virtual social audio experience. Groups of up to 1,500 people every hour for the 24 hours on Africa Day are expected to be in attendance on Clubhouse and across other online platforms. #Marathon #24hrs #Clubhouse #Africa #Africans #AfricanUnity #africanliberation #AfricaDayDiaspora DATE: May 25th TIME: 12 a.m. PST VENUE: Clubhouse (Africa Day Club) TICKETS: FREE with RSVP: Africa Day 2022 on Clubhouse For more information, visit Africa Day Diaspora #### Contact: Simon Javan Okelo 206-613-9581 okelo@onevibeafrica.org About One Vibe Africa One Vibe creates a liberated African narrative through collaboration among Africans “at home” and in the diaspora.
