Rooted Resilience Project: Looking Ahead
PHASE ONE:
In “Seeding Stories,” we invite individuals to share their personal stories and reflections through various mediums such as written submissions, audio recordings, and video testimonials. These stories, which highlight the diverse experiences and perspectives within our community, will be curated and shared publicly to foster understanding and connection.
PHASE TWO:
"Rooted Conversations” involves conducting one-on-one interviews between family members to delve deeper into their shared experiences and intergenerational connections. These intimate conversations will be recorded, transcribed, and disseminated to amplify the voices and resilience of our community.
Through this phased approach, the Rooted Resilience Project aims to cultivate a sense of empowerment, belonging, and pride in our cultural heritage, laying the foundation for future generations to thrive.
