Certifiably Black
“The Liberation Festival: A Celebration of Black Joy, Healing, and Collective Freedom”
About the Festival
The Liberation Festival is an annual celebration hosted by Certifiably B.L.A.C.K. that uplifts the joy, creativity, healing, and power of Black communities. Rooted in the belief that Black joy is an act of resistance, this festival brings together youth, families, educators, artists, and changemakers to reclaim space, restore our spirits, and build toward collective liberation.
Through art, culture, education, and community, we gather not just to survive but to thrive.
