In this session, I will share a story about belonging starting in London (UK) during the heights of the pandemic until now continuing on the shores of Kingston (Jamaica). You are invited to explore the concept of Belonging with an open mind and heart. Is there a universal construct of what belonging should look or feel like? How is belonging in a community achieved?
