OCC Black History Month 2024

by with One Comment Uncategorized

A fantastic celebration! It’s wonderful that OCC members embraced the spirit of Black History Month with such vibrant and meaningful activities today.

Highlighted in the event:

African Attire: The African attire made by Alateileke Fashion added a beautiful and authentic touch to the event. It’s always inspiring to see traditional clothing being celebrated and worn with pride. Our Rose, the leader, and OCC founder looks amazing and beautiful with her Yoruba tradition attire!

Global Cuisine: Having food from all over the world is a great way to celebrate diversity and bring people together. The food was a delicious and enriching experience!

Film Screening: Attendees watched “Hidden Figures”, a perfect choice. The film highlights the incredible contributions of African-American women in NASA during the space race, showcasing their intelligence, resilience, and impact on history.

A huge thank you to our partners Mediprospects for their support that helped to make this possible. 

It was a very memorable event!

OCC art workshop with Netstorm

by with No Comment Uncategorized

On Saturday 2nd December we held our first art workshop with our partners Netstorm (Catch 22 and Mosaic). The session was fun, as expected; a welcome relief from a stressful week for young and old. It also revealed the inner artist that many of us had lying dormant within us. With good guidance and support we drew our faces and the results were great. The fact that we had this ability inside us but were too caught up in life to take the time to find it taught us some great lessons. If you don’t look for something you will never find it and if you don’t try, you’ll never know. The fact is, we all did better than we thought we would and that was a very uplifting and confidence-building feeling. A great day!
