Hi everyone! I'm Glimmer. I've been here for about three months now. It's been weird! But the connections and friendships I've started to make with the rest of you have been really helpful for getting me through some really rough times. That got me thinking about our little community of Displaced people and how we're all kind of in this together. I realized I don't know a lot of you, which is fine!
I would like to know more of you though. So, I was thinking about trying to organize a kind of community building event. Something to help people feel more settled or welcome. Even if being here sucks and is awful we've got each other, right?
So how about we have a group dinner or other meal. A fellowship meal. Everyone makes or brings something to share with everyone else, especially if it's a recipe from back home. We can share food and our stories and get to know each other. Find ways to connect with each other. I can't really host it because, uh. My apartment is tiny but we could use the safehouse dining space. Or if someone has access to a bigger space they're willing to share, that would be great too!
Obviously it's not going to be something everyone wants to participate in, and I'm not going to try and convince anyone that they should if they really don't want to. I just want to try and make the best of the situation we're in and get to know more of you. If it works, maybe we can make it a thing every couple of weeks or once a month or something?
Let me know what you think! ✨
