This afternoon, TDN President/Founder Ariel Rojas had a very successful and amicable meeting with Mr. Dalton Robinson, District Office Manager/Constituent Services of NYS Assemblywoman Monique Chandler-Waterman.

In the meeting, Mr. Robinson was introduced to the mission, priorities, and goals of our impactful organization. He also learned about our groundbreaking RIPPLE/MU2AL program, and showed interest on how his office can contribute to the implementation of TDN Cross-cultural Youth Exchange Fellowship as a summer program in partnership with other community-based organizations located in NYS 58th Assembly District. The district includes parts of East Flatbush, Canarsie, Brownsville, and Crown Heights in Brooklyn.

This weekend, TDN President/Founder Ariel Rojas had a meaningful and strategic meeting with TDN Chief Program Officer Albert Jimenez to discuss the improvement of our RIPPLE/MU2AL Program by streamlining the four modules (music, dance, storytelling, social photography) of our arts-based curriculum as a tool to expand the understanding of emotions, navigate personal/cultural identity, and build a better self-esteem. In this new phase of program development, our curriculum will also incorporate new elements of cognitive behavioral therapy that will assist our young participants to cope with difficulty situations using problem-solving skills, and to develop a greater sense of confidence in their own abilities. Whereby, they can learn to change their own thinking, problematic emotions, and behavior.

Transdiaspora Network's social innovation brings a new frontier to the traditional public healthcare approach by bridging the wellness gap among youth of low-income and immigrant backgrounds, incorporating their community’s cultural values, and creating a sense of ownership over their own health, which they need to sustain the development of their local communities and to compete fairly in today’s interdependent world.

To explain how Transdiaspora Network innovates, we needed to say that meanwhile mainstream primary prevention strategies uses methods to avoid the occurrence of disease such as pills and prophylaxis items, Transdiaspora Network takes an even earlier approach; our curriculum works in the stages of “PRE-primary prevention methodology.” We changes young program participants’ way of thinking and behavior which in turn teaches them prevention. In our non-lecture and interactive workshops, we provide them with life skills and personal tools from their own cultural reservoir to make informed health-related decisions.

International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade.

The transatlantic slave trade can be understood through the experiences of a single enslaved person who endured a series of catastrophic events that, by design, severed him or her from home, family, and nearly all things familiar. Capture in the African interior, transport to the coast, sale to slave traders, passage in a slave ship, and sale and enslavement in the Americas tested the spirit and will of resilient men, women, and children who struggled to find meaning and happiness in a New World dependent upon their labor and coercion.

The transatlantic slave trade can also be understood through its sheer magnitude: for 366 years, European slavers loaded approximately 12.5 million Africans onto Atlantic slave ships. About 11 million survived the Middle Passage to landfall and life in the Americas.

The next academic year is approaching very soon. Children and young people are getting ready to go back to school, and our President/Founder Ariel Rojas would like to give them one simple piece of advice: "Regardless of the obstacles and challenges you may face, don't give up on your curiosity and boldness. Be persistent!"

Today, it marks the 7th anniversary of Kofi Annan's death. He will be remembered for the way he drew attention, over and over again, to the plight of those caught up in war, environmental disaster, or simply grinding poverty. Quietly, but firmly, Kofi Annan reminded world leaders, however powerful, that they needed to put their duty to their citizens above their political careers.

He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2001 for helping to revitalise the international body, during a period that coincided with the Iraq War and the HIV/AIDS pandemic.

Former US President Barack Obama, the first African American to win the White House, said: "Long after he had broken barriers, Kofi never stopped his pursuit of a better world."

The Ghanaian national served as United Nations Chief from 1997 to 2006 and is the only black African ever to hold the post.
