IMBA Together is an annual gospel music event that raises awareness and support for individuals with autism. 

We focus on incorporating musical skills into the lives of children with autism, helping them develop and enhance their motor skills. 

​

Our mission is to use one voice  to honor God and to raise awareness for those living with autism. 

The heart and Soul behind this unique celebration of music and diversity is Anna Simtaji. Anna who is originally from Tanzania , brought Imba Together to the triad in 2015 and the event was held four times prior to the pandemic, growing in size  and recognition each time.

​

The mission extends to children in Tanzania, East Africa, as well as those in the United States.

Anna believe that beautiful things happen not in the managing  of hundreds of tiny details that go into orchestrating an event of this size but in the way that doing so brings a variety of People together for a common cause. Sometimes the most basic tasks can uncover special meaning as friendships are made and bonds are formed by People who may not have had reason to meet otherwise . 

​

Autism awareness is crucial to Anna and her Family. Her 23 years old Son Edward is a Person living with autism. One thing that Anna can always count on is that music  can soothe and calm Edward when other things fail. 

​

“Regardless of the language you speak , the style you sing , the color of your skin , the church you attend (If you even attend church), your style, your age, your gender, we  are all coming together on December 6th to 7th 2024, to praise God and to promote autism awareness.“ says Anna.
