From There to Here: The Stories, Cultures, and Journeys That Shape Us
ANT Bookstore and Cafe, 345 Clifton Ave, Clifton, NJ, USHumanity has always been on the move. From ancient migrations across continents to families crossing oceans in search of a better life, moving to a new land is one of the oldest stories we tell. Yet today, that same story is dividing us.
In this conversation, we explore what it truly means to arrive somewhere new and what it means to welcome those who do.
We take the FIFA World Cup as our starting point: A global event where fans from every corner of the earth pack into the same stadiums, sing in different languages, wear their colors with pride, and somehow, for 90 minutes at a time, we make it work 🥳
That is the spirit behind this group. A space to celebrate each other's cultures, ask the questions we don't always get to ask and and figure out together what we owe one another as people sharing the same planet.
Questions we'll explore:
- What does "home" mean to you. Is it a place, a feeling, people, or something else entirely?
- Have you ever packed up and started over somewhere new? What did you leave behind that you still carry in your heart and what ended up surprising you most about where you are now?
- What is one thing from your culture that you wish the world knew more about or appreciated?
- What is one small thing each of us could do to make someone feel more welcome where we live?
IMPORTANT NOTE: This is an intellectual discussion group, not a dating platform. We ask all members to respect that boundary.
Attendance Requirement: All attendees must purchase food or drinks from the cafe to support the local business hosting our event.
Also, I'd also love your support! a small $5 donation helps cover the Meetup fees and keeps the group going.
Come ready for great conversations, and a welcoming community of curious and thoughtful individuals.
