Planting A Seed of African Culture In The Penn State Community and Beyond...
The name “NOMMO” was originally chosen because it implies more than entertainment. The Kiswahili word, NOMMO, is difficult to translate, but the concept is that of a seed. The Word (play, song, dance, etc.) is a seed planted through the senses into the mind of the observer. That participant/observer then has the responsibility of nourishing the seed and growing forth in the knowledge of African and African-American culture. We are here to plant a seed of African Culture in Penn State and beyond.
