This Valentineโs, we honored tradition with needles moving, food shared, stories unfolding, and laughter echoing.
Long before organized programs and meeting agendas, our aunties, mothers, grandmothers, and maybe even great-grandmothers sat in circles, sewing, talking, sharing wisdom, teasing one another, and processing life together. The circle was never just about fabric. It was about community. It was about not carrying life alone.
This night, as we celebrated, the stories from our participants began to flow... stories about young love, long marriages, heartbreak, resilience, and the funny moments in between. The room was filled with laughter, the kind that comes from women who have lived, loved, endured, and grown.
That is the very reason this program is called ๐๐๐ฃ ๐๐ญ๐๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ข๐ซ๐๐ฅ๐ just as proudly displayed on the t-shirts and aprons gifted to our dedicated participants this Valentineโs season.
Paj ntaub is not just textile art.
It is memory.
It is storytelling.
It is sisterhood stitched together in a circle. โค๏ธ
Thank you to our Program Coordinator, Rasami Moua and Paj Ntaub Project Lead, Ly Myia for all you do and putting this event together. Most importantly, thank you to every person who showed up, brought a dish to share and made the evening so rich with life.
