At WSCACL, we believe that our strength lies in our unity and the vibrant cultures that make up our coalition. Today, we are shining a proud spotlight on Platinum & one of our co-founding member organizations: the Association of Zambians in Seattle, Washington (AZISWA)!

Since its journey began on January 22, 2006, AZISWA has been a cornerstone for the Zambian community in the Puget Sound region. Whether it is providing grassroots support to fight hunger and poverty or celebrating heritage through their annual Independence Day festivities filled with Zambian dance and music, AZISWA embodies the spirit of community connection.

We are honored to have AZISWA as a vital partner in the WSCACL network. Their dedication to fostering relationships and preserving cultural roots while building generational wealth is exactly what our mission is all about. When we stand together, we amplify our collective voice and ensure our leaders have the tools they need to thrive.

Big shoutout to the leadership and members of AZISWA for your tireless dedication to our community here and in Zambia.

TOGETHER WE THRIVE. UNITED WE LEAD.

It’s that time of year! The ultimate neighborhood block party celebrating our legendary, Washington icon another year around the sun, Rep Dawn Mason. So happy to join your long list of mentees that have spent time being inspired and learning all of your different talents and gifts. You gave me the opportunity to take my college major and apply it to develop good policy that affected thousands of college students. 🙏🏾

Today, we celebrate the pillars of our community! Happy Father's Day to all the fathers, grandfathers, uncles, and father figures across the African Diaspora in Washington state.

From the quiet strength of our elders to the dedicated guidance of young fathers, your leadership fosters the relationships that keep our community united. Whether you are a community mentor, a local business owner, or a leader, your impact is felt every day.

We want to give a Big Shoutout to all the dads who are building generational wealth and teaching our youth the power of civic engagement. You are the heartbeat of our homes and the foundation of our organizations. It is an honor to support the leaders who are raising the next generation of changemakers.

United we stand, Divided we fall. Let’s continue to amplify the voices of our community and celebrate the men who make our Diaspora thrive here in the Northwest.

How are you honoring the father figures in your life today? Share a story or a shoutout in the comments below!
