The Inaugural Pilot

Torchlight to West Africa

Torchlight to West Africa will serve as the inaugural activation of the Movement for Immunity model — a culturally grounded forum bringing diaspora communities, healthcare leaders, and cultural practitioners together around health equity.

This is where the bridge between New York City and West Africa begins: through storytelling, movement, arts, and authentic community dialogue.
