FunTimes Magazine

Through the 2021 Community Voices grant, FunTimes Magazine will raise awareness of COVID-19 vaccine safety and mitigate vaccine hesitancy through stories and feature articles, and virtual and live presentations, including question and answer sessions by collaborating diaspora physicians and medical personnel. The campaign will target Philadelphia and its five-county metropolitan area and engage the African and Caribbean immigrant communities through faith-based organizations by leveraging its decade-long relationships and social media outreach.

The 2020 Community Voices grant will support an intergenerational storytelling project aimed at preserving the oral traditional history of the African diaspora while facilitating communication and cultural exchange among young and elderly members of Philadelphia's African immigrant and refugee communities. In addition, the project will capture the stories and impact of COVID-19 on African immigrant frontline workers.
