Christmas in Nickyland 2024: Solace & Transformation
Curated and Hosted by Nicky Paraiso
What does it mean to return in 2024 and come together once again to celebrate during this particular holiday season? I will jump a hurdle (months ahead) to say we are in a hopeful new era celebrating a new President and administration with forward-reaching transformative goals. Still we must find ways to work together to resist and cease the never-ending battles and wars that nations wage against each other. As the ever-changing world we live in continues to challenge us both as individuals and within our different communities, we can use this year-end holiday time to reflect, heal, find solace as we celebrate together.
