Yes, ‘tis true …
I believe this is the best way to begin your Thanksgiving festivities and kick off the 2019 holiday season!
We are intentionally GATHERING the week before the busiest travel week of the year in order to cultivate GRATITUDE and be inspired by GLOBAL stories from some difference-making friends of mine passionately working in Uganda, in our community, and ’round the world!
These friends inspire me to the core. They remind me that hope is alive, that there is beauty rising out of the ashes in our world. I always come away from being with them having learned something about the world, discovered something about myself, and with some nudges for my next steps to make a difference locally and globally.
I believe the same will happen to you, too.
I get it. Life can be hard … and busy. You might feel isolated and alone – or “peopled out” … “events” might not be your jam.
But hang on, my friend.
We’ve created this night with a bunch of fuel you to roll through the rest of 2019 with some good juju. We will bask a bit in thanksgiving, so that as you hop on planes, drive across town or the country for holiday celebrations, you will be full to the brim with gratitude. C’mon – we’d so love for you to join us!
Our star-studded storyteller line-up …
- Co-founder & visionary, Drew and in-country director & impassioned leader, Nathan | Pangea. Working in Uganda, their mission is to empower schools and unify communities through sustainable education – and epic hearts and vision!
- Founder & sisterhood champion, Brandi | Beauty for Ashes Uganda. She told me she “accidentally” started a nonprofit and that she had no clue what was coming! Now, she’s a momma to 3 in the US and 47 in Uganda, with 1200 mommas as her constant inspiration!
- Co-founder & film-maker, Gayle, and activist & documentary film storyteller, Favourite, from NeeNee Productions / Sauti. What they are committed to doing through film and community partnership in the lives of our refugee sisters and brothers in Uganda is jaw-dropping!
- Educator & elder, Marcellina. Arriving home to Denver just days before our event from Uganda, Marcellina will have some riveting stories for us of her work with child soldiers, community collaborations, and inspired action in life!
- Poet and high-school student, Suha Mayraj will share one of her spoken word poetry pieces and her vision for a world that is graced with greater understanding and appreciation than ever of the differences (and similarities!) between us.
