AfriKin Foundation Presents "UNITE FOR BISSAU (No Kumpu Guine)"

A Journey of Empowerment and Sustainability in Guinea-Bissau.
AfriKin Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering cultural connections and supporting human development through artistic expression, announces a special screening of the film UNITE FOR BISSAU (No Kumpu Guine) . This event will include a live Q&A with the acclaimed director Iara Lee, providing audiences with a unique opportunity to engage with the film's powerful themes of agroecology, women's empowerment, and leadership in Guinea-Bissau.

Event Overview

Scheduled for Friday, September 27th, from 7 PM to 9 PM at the Maison Afrikin, Scott Galvin Community Center in North Miami, FL, the event promises to be a thought-provoking exploration of the ways women in Guinea-Bissau are taking charge of their futures. Through their commitment to sustainable agriculture and challenging long-standing societal norms, these women are paving the way for self-sufficiency and equality. The screening of this 40-minute film will be followed by an engaging live Q&A session with the director, allowing attendees to delve deeper into the themes presented. The event is free, with guests encouraged to RSVP in advance via Eventbrite here [https://afrikin-screening-unite-for-bissau.eventbrite.com/].

AfriKin's Vision

AfriKin Foundation has long stood as a beacon for cultural engagement, blending academic insights and artistic expression to promote unity and human connection. "Our creative expressions are the foundation of our liberation," the organization notes, emphasizing the role of art in building bridges across diverse communities. The foundation's name, AfriKin, stems from the words "Africa" and "kinship," a testament to its mission to highlight the importance of cultural connections and shared human experiences.

The film UNITE FOR BISSAU underscores the significant role women play in shaping a sustainable and equitable future. It highlights the perseverance and creativity of these women as they navigate the challenges of patriarchy and poverty, striving to build a more resilient and self-reliant society. Through agroecology and leadership, they represent a generation that is reclaiming its power, redefining traditional roles, and contributing to the global conversation on gender equality and sustainable development.

An Invitation to Join

AfriKin invites all community members to join this important conversation about the future of sustainability and women's leadership in Guinea-Bissau. Along with the film and Q&A, attendees will enjoy light refreshments in an environment designed to foster open discussions and meaningful connections. The event is an opportunity to learn, share, and grow together as a community dedicated to positive change.
