CDN Announcement:
We have spent time reflecting on a theme for 2021 during the month of December. We have voted on the theme and meaningful art reflecting our 2021 theme: "Umuntu Ngumuntu Ngabantu" meaning, in our understanding of what liberation means to us, "Revolutionizing the meaning of the liberation of the person through whole people and communities". Umuntu Ngumuntu Ngabantu is a Zulu language for Ubuntu.
We felt it is time to learn more about African wisdom of liberation of humanity as a whole and of what it means to transform the injustices on all levels (societal, community, institutional/structural and systemic) through deconstruction processes of our current systems of oppression and more.
What this means for Cascadia Deaf Nation (CDN): CDN will center its stewardship projects, events, services and products on the theme this year.
Through this theme, CDN will deliver empowerful messages to the IBPOC/BIPOC Deaf communities to guide them to rise above everything that held them back from actualizing their truest potentials as a whole. Look for our upcoming vlogs about our theme and our stewardship plans for 2021.
