An excerpt from a speech given by my professor Dr. Bender:

"My mentor, Dr. Alex Norman, a prominent African American Professor Emeritus out of UCLA’s school of Social Work – at my own MSW graduation – said: We are all community! Harambee! And from my Jewish culture and religion; we likewise say, Al Ti Frosh Min Ha Kehilah. Do not separate your self from the community. These emerging scholars, social activists and Social Workers that are publically recognized here are thus connected. May we all embrace community as have they! Ma Tunda ya Kwanza – with the fruits of all of our harvest! "

Audre Lorde’s (1978) Litany of Survival

and when we speak we are afraid/
our words will not be heard/ nor welcomed/
but when we are silent/ we are still afraid/
So it is better to speak/
remembering/ we were never meant to survive (pp. 31-32)
