In this discussion, Jade Almeida (Harambec) will engage Kelechi Okafor in a conversation about intergenerational knowledge, healing, and resistance, drawing inspiration from Kelechi’s work and experiences. As Harambec continues to shape spaces for Black women and non-binary people in Montreal, this exchange will explore what can be learned from Kelechi’s multidisciplinary approach to storytelling, movement, and advocacy.

Together, they will discuss:

• the importance of intergenerational relationships in Black communities
• parenting and activism in a world in crisis
• how hope and resistance can be nurtured across generations and
• the decline of institutional support for Black communities post-2020 and the need for sustained action.

Through this exchange, the Harambec team and the SHIFT community will have the opportunity to reflect on new ways of strengthening intergenerational connections and fostering spaces of healing, joy, and liberation.
