The broadcaster, who works for Angel Broadcasting Network’s Angel FM in Accra, will be in attendance at this year’s event.
The 14th Annual Juneteenth NY Celebration will be held under the theme “Kaleidoscope of Black Culture”.
New York City’s premier three-day celebration will showcase the abundant history and impact of African Americans from June 16 to June 18.
Participating partners for the Juneteenth NY Celebration include Airbnb, Atlantic Terminal Mall, Black Restaurant Coalition, Brooklyn Nets, Brooklyn Navy Yard, The Drivers Cooperative, The Home Depot Foundation, Liberty Coca Cola Beverages, New York Liberty, NY State of Health, PacSun and Visa.
Official media broadcast partner is WABC-TV, the #1 Station in New York and the most watched local station in the country.
“I’m expecting African Americans to show more love and unity to each other,” Ohemaa Woyeje said of her expectation of the event.
“Want to hear black people appreciating equal rights and justice and not complaining about racial injustice. Freedom of all shades knowing Juneteenth marks the end of slavery.
“For me, it offers the opportunity to create awareness on the year of return Ghana hosted in 2019 and the free legal citizenship given to people of African Ancestry which will have positive impact on our tourism and the creative industry.”
Meanwhile, Emmy-nominated artist Julian King is set to headline the Juneteenth NY Celebration 2023 Concert.
