COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT | SAWUBONA LISTENING TOUR: COMMUNITY HEALING NETWORK (CHN) COMPLETED AN 11-WEEK SAWUBONA LISTENING TOUR THROUGHOUT GREATER NEW HAVEN (GNH). SAWUBONA IS A ZULU GREETING THAT MEANS 'I SEE YOU"" ON A DEEP LEVEL. IN THE SPIRIT OF SAWUBONA, WE CONNECTED DEEPLY WITH MEMBERS OF GLOBAL AFRICA, FRIENDS, AND SUPPORTERS RESIDING IN CT. IT WAS ESSENTIAL TO HEAR FROM OUR COMMUNITY, SO OUR PROGRAMMING CAN BE MORE EFFECTIVE. OUR THREE GOALS WERE: 1. RE-INTRODUCE CHN TO RESIDENTS OF GNH; 2. IDENTIFY KEY AREAS OF NEED IN RELATION TO EMOTIONAL EMANCIPATION WITHIN BLACK COMMUNITIES; AND3. BEGIN BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS WITH KEY INSTITUTIONS TO PARTNER IN THE GLOBAL MOVEMENT FOR EMOTIONAL EMANCIPATION AND COMMUNITY HEALING.
