Cradle of Humankind”

During WAE’s Multicultural Day celebration, one of our scholars, Ndeye Khady Sall. courageously shared her original poem, Cradle of Humankind, honoring ancestry, resilience, identity, and the enduring strength of Black culture and history. Her powerful words moved our community and reminded us of the importance of embracing who we are with pride.

At WAE we celebrate every culture, every story, and every scholar’s voice.
