WE SEE YOU!

The Zulu greeting Sawubona means “We See You.” In its various cultural versions used by Africans across the continent and throughout the diaspora (for example, when African Americans in the U.S. make eye contact and nod when they pass each other walking the streets) the greeting essentially means we bear witness to each other’s existence. We acknowledge and affirm each other. And so it is in this space that features testimonies and inspiring stories of individuals overcoming challenges and making a positive difference in their lives and their communities. See and be seen!
