Rhythms of East Africa

An Evening of Culture, Community, and Collective Investment

Culture creates connection. It brings people together to celebrate heritage, share experiences, and build stronger communities.

On Tuesday, November 10, the United Women of East Africa Support Team will bring San Diegans together for Rhythms of East Africa, an evening celebrating culture, community, and collective investment.

The United Women of East Africa Support Team serves as a cultural hub for San Diego’s East African community. The organization provides services and advocacy that help cultivate resilience, self-sufficiency, and well-being.

Rhythms of East Africa will showcase the vibrant cultures and traditions of East Africa through an immersive community gathering.

Attendees can experience:

• A lively drum circle
• Traditional flavors
• Local artisans
• Cultural expressions
• Opportunities to connect with families, leaders, and community partners

The event will create space for people to celebrate East African heritage while building connections across San Diego’s diverse communities.

The gathering also highlights the power of collective investment in families, women, and youth.

When community members, organizations, and leaders come together, they can strengthen the networks that help families and young people thrive. Events like Rhythms of East Africa create opportunities to celebrate culture while deepening those connections.

For the Burnham Center for Community Advancement, community building means creating opportunities for people to connect, share their experiences, and contribute to a stronger San Diego region.
