HTBAF: In Communion/In Community

“Without community, there is no liberation.” – Audre Lorde

We’re breaking bread this month at HTBAF. Come join us for an Open Kitchen edition, share a meal prepared by your hosts and storytellers. Our theme is “In Community/In Communion,” which fits with our moods as we process the coming of a new paradigm, a new social order … as we move into Kwanzaa season and think about the principle of Imani/Faith.

Chef Sia, Sheryll, and Stacie are all focused on community, on collective action, on each one teach one, and tides lifting every boat. Chef Sia feeds and teaches, fostering connection through sharing lovingly-prepared food. Sheryll grows community, seeding and teaching through her garden and farm work. Stacie … might just be along for the ride, basking in the vicarious glow of these most excellent partners. Or, maybe she hopes her writing will spin threads that loop us together. Time will tell.

We need to wrap our arms and hearts around our communities right now, need to strengthen what and where we can, build new relationships with communities outside of our own. We will survive, and we will rise. Together.

Come share an S³ dinner, a meal that Sia, Sheryll, and Stacie (mostly Chef Sia) will prepare. Come hear stories from all three. Come break bread and build community. Come nourish your heart and mind as we look back, look forward, look into our hearts and each others’.
