Imani Enterprises.
“Dedicated to the Advancement of Youth Arts and Culture!”
Imani Enterprises was founded in Halifax
Nova Scotia in 1994 by Anne-Marie Woods, as a response to
the need for positive
programming that focused on Youth Arts and Culture in the
African and Cross Cultural Communities. In 1996, the Company
The Imani Women’s Artistic Project (IWAP) was formed
under Imani Enterprises. IWAP is an interdisciplinary arts
training program for young women of African descent ages
16-25. The main focus is arts for self esteem. The program’s
central focus was on community outreach, cross cultural
education,
leadership skills, counseling, business development, acting,
movement, and improv training. The program ran successfully
from 1996 until 1998, and is now being developed for Toronto
Based Youth.
Imani Enterprises has evolved over the years to not only
include youth outreach, training, workshops, classes, but
to now include Project Management, Creative Consulting, Event
Planning, Wedding Theatre, School Tours, Artivationally Speaking
- Speaker Series, Blingles ©, Creative Writing, Writing
for Radio and Film, Playwrighting, Project Development, and
Production.
