‘Drum Beat Journey’: an interview wit’ organizer and filmmaker Elilta Tewelde

Ever since I have known Elita Tewelde, she has been a Pan African organizer in one way, shape or form, teaching Africans born in the Americas about our brothas and sistas from the continent, and vice versa.

She filmed the whole experience and is fundraising to get the documentary, “Drum Beat Journey,” made.
