Cultural Wellness & Connection Friday is Here, and You Need to Be There
A few weeks ago, a small group of young people and families came together at the Struggle of Love Foundation Center in Denver.
There was live drumming. There was storytelling. People expressed themselves, connected, and simply enjoyed being in a room that was built for them. That was only the beginning; a soft launch
May 29 is the next session of Cultural Wellness and Connection Fridays. And we want you there.
What Cultural Wellness & Connection Fridays Is
This is not a lecture. It is not a workshop with chairs in rows and someone at the front with a presentation. It is a night where culture is the activity; where the drumming, the storytelling, the dancing, and the shared meal are the point.
CAICC and Struggle of Love Foundation are bringing together youth ages 8 to 26, their families, and anyone in the community who wants to be part of a space rooted in African culture and open to all. A space where young people can express themselves, connect with others, and be part of something that reflects who they are.
What to Expect on the Night
🥁 Live drumming and cultural rhythm
📖 Storytelling and creative arts
🎵 Music, dance, and good vibes
🍽️ Community and food
Come as you are, bring who you want, and let the evening take care of the rest.
Why This Matters
At CAICC, heritage preservation has never been about preservation for its own sake. It is about creating spaces where young people from African, immigrant, and refugee families feel genuinely at home, where their culture is not something to be explained or justified, but something to be celebrated loudly and often.
Cultural Wellness and Connection Fridays is one such space. And May 29 is the moment it truly begins.
Come and be part of it.
