Remember us? 

It’s been a while since we last checked in. As Team Jamii envisions the rest of the year and mobilizes for 2025, we’ve been craving more connection with our community. The essence of our work is people and relationships, so nurturing these connections is crucial.

We want you to know this community isn’t just for those needing interpreting, translation, or language learning support. If you believe in collective liberation and want to stay connected with a global community working towards this goal, let’s stay connected!
