On February 21, 2026, the energy at the Inatai Foundation was nothing short of electric. As we gathered during Black History Month, it wasn’t just about looking back at where we’ve been; it was about locking arms to decide where we are going.
The Washington State Coalition of African Community Leaders (WSCACL) held its Annual Membership Summit, bringing together local leaders, families, and organizers from across the African Diaspora. If you were there, you felt the power in the room. If you missed it, don’t worry, we’ve got the full recap on how we’re building a stronger, more unified Afro diaspora community in Washington.
Unveiling Our New Symbol of Unity
The summit reached a crescendo with the unveiling of our new WSCACL banner. The design was originally created by local Washington artist, Monyee Chau. The new WSCACL banner is a beautiful visual representation of our African diaspora coalition: three distinct accessorized arms: representing our Caribbean, African, and African-American roots: lifting a map of Washington state together.
