Somali Community Celebrates African Culture

On July 29, Somali Youth United produced San Diego African Culture Fest.

People gathered to share culture, music, and arts at City Heights Performance Annex.

Aster Keleta of Somali Youth United, a non-profit community organization that promotes the peace within their community.

“People feel like they’re at home. That’s the best thing. It’s therapeutic for the people who really have been through war, through hardship. And come together to celebrate, to dance,” Keleta said.

“It’s just life changing for a lot of people.”
