@Duwendé | Linktree

One of the things that makes IKA a creative "Collective" is that everyone is also driven by a passion for their personal projects. Case in point - our bookkeeper, Abbey. She's a founding member / vocalist / arranger of one of the best a capella groups you'll ever hear. Duwendé just dropped their first orignal single, "Dangerous". Please give it a listen! Congrats, Abbey!

Thrilled, honored and humbled that the NAACP chose IKA Collective to produce their 2020 national conference. We often say that we create content which helps people learn something, do something, feel something or buy something. It's nice to add "make a difference in something" to that list.
