How Imani Blake is healing the Seattle African Diaspora community | Diaspora Connect

Описание: In this video, you will learn about the One Vibe African Dinner Experiences and the story of Imani Blake. One Vibe Africa’s dinner series aims to allow for cultural awareness to be reinforced and community partnerships to be formed. Attendees are greeted with warm faces, live music, and authentic African dishes. Guests are invited to engage with one another while dinner serves as the entry point for strong community connections

One Vibe Africa’s mission is to create a liberated African narrative through collaboration among Africans “at home” and in the diaspora. Starting with the youth, we generate a future for Africa through cultural events, video content, education, music, and the arts.

Your biggest power is your story. Diaspora Connect empowers our community at home & abroad by demystifying the diaspora life to Africans back home and acting as a resource to our listeners by offering tools to navigate the diaspora as well as easing the tension between Africans and African-Americans through storytelling.

The One Vibe African Dinner Experiences is where Diaspora Connect video series is also recorded as an opportunity for community members to gain deeper exposure and insights to the culture, food, and topics that come from and inform Africa and the African diaspora.

With the recent effects of COVID, many people are eager to get out and connect with others. People were disconnected from connecting with others. Their mental health was challenged as a result. The first problem the dinner series solves is creating an experience for people to connect in community while healing in community. According to the Seattle Clinic, 1 out of 5 people have suffered from depression during one season in their lifetime. Other mental health challenges include anxiety, and stress. When people are able to connect with each other and share in their burdens, the weight of isolation is lifted. Opportunities for conversation over dinner is an experience that creates a sense of belonging. The One Vibe Africa dinner series aims to continue hosting a space for people to learn about one another and connect in community.
