Sometimes we only see the strength of our parents and Elders — but we do not always know the full story of what it took for them to survive, rebuild, and begin again.

In this Mzee Film Project story, an Elder reflects on coming to the United States and leaving everything behind in search of a new life. He shares the hardship of arriving with very little, trusting someone with money, and then having to sleep on an air mattress in a room while trying to find his footing.

It is humbling to hear these stories.

It reminds us that migration is not only about movement — it is about sacrifice, courage, loss, faith, and the determination to create something better for the next generation.

Our parents and Elders carried more than we may ever fully understand. Their stories are living testimonies of resilience, love, and hope.

These are the stories the Mzee Film Project seeks to honour, preserve, and share.

Are you ready to lead, create, and make an impact in your community?

The Adinkra Youth Leadership Project is now welcoming youth and young adults who are ready to grow their leadership skills, connect with mentors, and bring their community ideas to life.

Through workshops, mentorship, and support, participants will explore identity, leadership, wellness, culture, and community change — while developing their own community engagement project.

This is more than a program. It is a space to dream, build, and lead with purpose.

Registration is open. Join us and begin your leadership journey today.

Every week, they show up.
Not just to play—but to grow.

In this space, they build more than skills.
They build confidence, discipline, relationship… and a sense of who they’re becoming.

This is what it means to be held by community.
