About this Event
We’ve heard the terms “Western mentality” or “Westernized” used often, but what do they actually mean, and how have they impacted our cultures? Let’s talk about it!
This is a space for Black, African, and Afro-Caribbean communities to connect and share our lived experiences.
Through group conversations and reflections, we'll discuss:
✨How Western values affect our lives, cultures and identities
✨Differences between African and Western knowledge
✨How to stay rooted in our ancestral traditions, and more!
Come ready to engage, learn, and chat it up with community. Light refreshments will be provided!
