In US culture, the values of individualism, mobility, and leaving home are prized; yet, this can also lead to social isolation and a lack of connection to communities that care for each other. How do we recreate the village? This conversation with Kile Adumene, who experienced a village culture growing up in Nigeria and then lived in the US for 24 years, explores how we can grow that sense of care and belonging. We learn about her community work creating space for people to connect as part of a village, within a city.
