At Refugees + Immigrants United, lasting change happens when refugee and immigrant communities lead. Through R I You, we celebrate the partners and allies who help amplify refugee and immigrant voices, experiences, and expertise.

Today, we're proud to feature Natalia Devlin of Arapahoe Libraries, a valued co-host of Africa Day: Diaspora Dialogues: Bridging Continents and Building Community, a historic moment as the the first-ever Africa Day celebration in Colorado.

In her reflections, Natalia shares why refugee and immigrant-led organizations like RIU must be at the forefront of community events and initiatives, ensuring they are authentic, culturally grounded, and shaped by the people they represent.

Together, we're creating spaces where refugee and immigrant communities are not just included, we are leading and thriving.

🎙 Hear Natalia's perspective and the power of authentic partnership. 💫
