Maybe it's someone who's shown up to every event for years, never asking for credit. Maybe it's someone doing quiet work in Suriname you only heard about secondhand. Maybe it's someone you've never actually spoken to — but you've watched them carry this culture forward, and it's stuck with you.
You don't need a personal connection to nominate someone. You don't even need to know them well. If you've seen someone doing the work — giving back, showing up, keeping this culture alive — tell us about them. We review nominations year-round, and honorees are recognized at Legacy Night.
