Connecting Cultures

Connecting Cultures

Chicago & New York, USA

 

Across the U.S., we bridge cultures and generations:

  • Mental Health Advocacy: Partnering with diaspora communities to address isolation and cultural stigma.

  • Cultural Revival: Aiming to host festivals and workshops to preserve Bangladeshi art, music, and traditions for future generations.

 

The Need:

  • 1 in 4 Bangladeshi-Americans report feeling isolated due to cultural stigma around mental health (Source: CDC, 2023).

  • 70% of diaspora youth struggle to balance tradition with modern identity.

  • 3 in 5 Bangladeshi-American youth cannot name traditional folk art forms.

  • 40% of diaspora families lack access to authentic cultural resources.
