With hearts full of gratitude, we reflect on the life and legacy of Tata Pierre Sandor Diabankouezi—Our beloved Elder, artist, and cultural pillar whose impact on the Oakland African Dance community is beyond measure.
In July 2024, Tata Sandor was welcomed home to Brazzaville with love by Family, Friends, and Embrace Kongo delegates, completing his Supreme Journey.
The Power of Community!
To all who supported his return—we thank you. Your love, trust, and care ensured his final journey was met with dignity, honor, and community strength.

As we approach the FINAL hours of the campaign, I’m excited to see the bidding movement. Some items have yet to meet the reserve price, so to increase your chances of winning, bid higher!
Let the bidding continue to flow up and help us reach our goal.
Giving Thanks,
