Here's the event slideshow.

1st #NorthAfrican #Cookout at Fed Farm in #Vicwest. Absolutely fabulous community event! Lots of delicious #Moroccan & #Tunisian foods were cooked & given to guests to eat. Many stories shared. Beautiful acoustic music was played. Wonderful new local BIPOC connections were made & some lovely reunions occurred too. I had a really great time!

Most folks who came out had similar displacement backgrounds. Several of us are war survivors who lost our family homes overseas & are far from many family members(my Mom's side is stuck in remote offgrid village) who are still living in our homelands. It was good for our souls to be around fellow POC diaspora. We understand each other better than others do because of similar life experiences from before coming to Canada. We also faced similar struggles/racism when we came to Canada as refugees of wars.

I am looking forward to helping them out more at some future community connecting events & grassroots projects in the near future.

Cara, my new Taiwanese friend, chatting with Souie, by the fire. Bridging cultural & generational arenas by simply having genuine, heartful conversations in mutually safe space.
I don't just like to talk about bridging across cultures & generations - I'm always actively trying to create opportunities for that to happen by organizing small circle gatherings.

Another new friend I met at the ribbon skirt workshop today. She is from Namgis First Nation. We chatted while working on our skirt patterns. A fellow creative, Aquarian weirdo 🥰
She was blown away that I've met/spent time with her cousin & also know several of her friends in Alert Bay. Her cousin owns/runs the only bannock place on Cormorant Island - Duchess Bannock and Dessert.

I put my purple hat & my sunglasses on Mom & Gina. Also, put my little #alien figurine & mini #BabyYoda with them for some fun photos. I'm a bit of a goofball 😂 I enjoy folks who play along with me ❤
