CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

Submit articles to the historic Umoja Magazine, a quarterly publication of the House of Umoja that began as the communication vehicle of the 1968 Black Power Conference.

Umoja Magazine is committed to documenting and nurturing the African American community cultural experience through effective and impactful storytelling – in particular sharing stories that are going unreported or under-reported.

We also wish to maintain an authentic and high standard in terms of the storytelling featured in the magazine, on the site, and social media channels. All submissions will be reviewed and assessed on their integrity and coherence in terms of the story being told. However, all stories may not be published.
