The COVID-19 pandemic has left our world feeling fractured, and limitations on our ability to gather with family and friends have made facing the hardships of the past year all the more challenging. Nevertheless, we have persevered thanks in great part to the communities and relationships we have formed despite the distance between us. As such, our class decided to title FABRIC 2021 Njikọta.

Njikọta means connection and bonding in Igbo, which is a language widely spoken in Nigeria. We hope that this performance will serve as a testament to the loving and supportive bonds we have cultivated in the midst of the past year’s adversities.

 

FABRIC is an annual event put on by the first-year HMS/HSDM class during Revisit Weekend for incoming students. It originally began as a cultural showcase to celebrate the African diaspora and highlight the experiences of black students. Over time it has evolved into a school-wide event in which everyone is invited to share a piece of themselves and come together to embrace the diversity of our community.
