S1 EP8: Resilience with Evana Enabulele, Mariama Suwaneh and Ashraf Hasham

  • Summary

  • In this podcast we are excited to launch our four-part series with The Gates Discovery Center's "In Community We Flourish" events. Each event will highlight young people who are local changemakers in our community!

    Today's podcast includes two changemakers, Evana Enabulele of Queer the Land and Mariama Suwaneh of Hopelink. They are joined by City of Seattle Office of Arts and Culture's Ashraf Hasham who is the Youth Arts Manager.

    Our guests share stories around resiliency, family, activism, arts, and the power of taking care of oneself during these times of pandemic and racial revolution.

    All three shared personal and professional projects towards the end.

    Evana talked about the great milestone of Queer the Land as they purchased their first home. It's a 12-bedroom house in the Beacon Hill neighborhood. They are looking for folx to come help with their bodies to get the place ready, their minds if they have knowledge about housing regulations, and their bank accounts if they are able to donate financially.

    Mariama shouted out her amazing blog for women of color: The Audacious Blog. She is also launching a podcast with a friend that will come out next month. Follow the blog for updates!

    Ashraf talked about how the City of Seattle’s efforts at civic recovery are housed at Seattle Together. He spoke specifically on any help to think of innovative ways to employ the creative community. Many are impacted by the economic impacts in the region.

    Responses for any of these endeavors can be sent to us at f.nam@civic-commons.org. We will happily forward along any notes to our guests.
