Additional Context
Robert Tambuzi succumbed to cancer in June 2022, but his presence still reverberates in the work of Project New Village. In tribute to his lasting imprint on our organization, we would like to share a video that embodies his wisdom and bold spirit.
Filmed two years before his transition and ascension in 2020, this video was part of our Community Voices: Seeds of Change piece. For context, it was a tumultuous time as we faced a global pandemic along with national protests against police brutality towards the black community. His impassioned words convey the anger felt during this time, but also impart wisdom and a collective pathway forward in dealing with oppression and racial justice.
