On November 8, we’re opening the doors of The Ritz-Carlton, St. Louis for something we’ve been building toward for a long time.

Our Inaugural Gala: Turning Talent into Trade. 🤍

Young entrepreneurs in St. Louis and Africa have the ideas, the craft and the drive. What they need is a bridge to learn, trade and earn together. Trade, not aid.

That’s also why we’re honouring Dr. Amber Howlett-Bayoc as our 2026 Zeeoma Bridge Builder Honoree, for building the bridge where art becomes enterprise and vision becomes legacy.

Your evening includes:
🍽️ A Nigerian dinner
✈️ An Africa travel experience
👗 A fashion show
🎶 Live Afrobeats

📅 Sunday, Nov 8, 2026
🕑 Youth Marketplace opens at 2pm, Gala 5 to 11pm
📍 The Ritz-Carlton, 100 Carondelet Plaza, St. Louis, MO 63105
👔 Black Tie or Afro Luxury

Please help us show the History Museum what Standing Room only feels like! 💪🏽❤️
Celebrated artist Cbabi Bayoc is known for his vibrant paintings and sprawling public murals that embrace Black joy, family, and community through bold color and empowering imagery. In conversation with his wife, business partner, and cultural collaborator, Dr. Amber Howlett Bayoc, this evening explores the intersection of art, love, partnership, and legacy – revealing how two individuals can build a shared vision and a creative life grounded in community that extends beyond the canvas. Cbabi reflects on what inspires him, how his work remains deeply rooted in the stories, energy, people, and traditions that shaped him.

The Bayocs’ candid dialogue reveals the power of partnership—not as one voice alongside another, but as two distinct voices contributing to a larger story of creativity, purpose and impact. The message is simple: where an artist begins is not a limitation, but a foundation—a source of identity inspiration and possibility. This evening celebrates how the bridge between St Louis and East St. Louis serves as more than a physical connection; it is a metaphor for the journey of artists whose works reflect the communities they live in, while imagining their work reaching across cities, generations, and the world. Complementing the conversation, the Sunshine Cultural Arts Center will present a dynamic drumming and dance performance that celebrates the rhythms, traditions, and cultural heritage of the African diaspora.

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL YOGA DAY Story through pictures 🧘🏾‍♀️ ✨️

Slide 1:
June 24, 2017
This was my first yoga class in 2 years with @yogawithnico at @urbartsgallery
I was 2 years postpartum and struggling mentally.

Slide 2:
1 year later I started Yoga Teacher Training with @yogabuzz while pregnant number 3. Despite hyperemesis gravidarum and and ptyalism gravidarum I made it through the 200 hour training with so much love and support from my cohort.

Almost 7 years later and I'm supporting others through prenatal yoga thanks to @yogamamaonline and @urbanbreathyoga and I get to help families Breathe, Bend & Read while offering representation.
