"When Age-Friendly Meets Dementia-Friendly: The Role of Memory Cafés in Reducing Loneliness and Social isolation" is the title of this one-hour webinar via Zoom.
Presenters Maren Levad, M.A.T., & Susan H. McFadden, Ph.D., will discuss how age-friendly community initiatives canconnect with efforts to make communities dementia friendly. The overlap of dementia- friendly and age-friendly principles will be examined and how both address loneliness and social isolation which can have negative effects on physical and mental health. People living with dementia, along with their care partners, are especially susceptible because of being excluded from former friendship circles and community activities. Memory Cafés demonstrate how communities can be both age friendly and dementia friendly by offering social opportunities that help all participants experience joy, purpose, and belongingness. These stigma-free gatherings occur in many public venues
(e.g., libraries, museums, nature centers, faith communities).

Symbolizing the empowerment of Black queer individuals as authors of their own narratives, Bard Africans Night explores the concept of “bard” in two ways: the way many Nigerian-Americans adapt their West African accents by incorporating rhotic Rs to make bad into bard, and the modern Shakespearean notion of the Bard.
The evening includes a live excerpt from Bad Africans, a play written and performed by Ibimina Dominique Thompson, followed by a screening of the short film Love is Like. The evening concludes with an artist talkback with Sementari and co-collaborators Ashe Jaafaru and Mariah Hanson.
