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. |
