Please join us for Courageous Voices, an evening of storytelling and conversation that centers the gifts our immigrant and refugee communities bring to Minneapolis—language, culture, family networks, resilience, and hope at the Chapel of Augsburg. The program is led by Yacoub Aljaffery and presented in collaboration with the THRIVE program of education.
On this night, Areli will share her first-generation journey and the strength she draws from family, and Fadumo will reflect on moving from a refugee camp to a life of service and leadership. We’ll also hear from five high school students from Hiawatha Academies in a live panel—lifting up the assets they carry and the futures they are building.
This event is for everyone—students, staff, neighbors, and friends. Come to listen, learn, and celebrate the stories that shape our campus and our city.
When: Thursday, December 4, 5:00–6:30 p.m.
Where: The Chapel
All are welcome! We will see you all there, inshallah!
