About the event
This series will begin on the 5th of August, 2023.
These conversations will take the form of a cohort system that meets on the last Saturday of each month, for 3 hours over 5 sessions. Our conversations will be had over food that reflects our diversity & commonality - African American, African, Afro-Caribbean, and Afro-Latino cuisines in a 3 course meal. Part of the cohort experience will include an immersion in one of many options including: a visit to an African American, African or African Caribbean museum or site of cultural/historical significance, attendance of a cultural festivity of note, or participation in a planned trip to one of the other countries represented.
The cohorts will bring together leaders and community members from diverse African backgrounds to learn from each other, build relationships and take their experiences back to their communities.
The kickoff for the first cohort is 5th…
