Why a Black-Eyed Pea Festival? “The black-eyed pea is a metaphor for what is resilient, creative, and collaborative about African-American culture,” says Wanda Ravernell, Founder of the Omnira Institute in Oakland, California. Omnira’s mission is to highlight and preserve the cultural and spiritual traditions of African Americans and demonstrate how these traditions are connected to Africa and the African Diaspora.
