Currently the Imani Foundation is an information distribution system. We are no longer a functioning organization. Several of our our former members have continued hosting Kwanzaa and cultural events. Notably Brother Seko who now coordinates his family's Gospel Flavored Kwanzaa celebration in the tradition of his family who have had a Kwanzaa event (with Christian overtones) since 1970 in the home and various churches of Rev. Dr. Sam and Ruth Varner.  Here are some Kwanzaa events occurring in Hampton Roads Virginia in 2012.
