*Recent Events*
*We look forward to seeing you soon at a coming Wikipedia event! Here are
some highlights from recent AfroCROWD gatherings and other happenings*
*AfroCROWD Global Organizers Summit gathers AfroCROWD branch organizers
from Barcelona, London and Boston *During the final weekend in Janurary,
AfroCROWD welcomed branch organizers Ivonne Gonzalez of Barcelona and
Geneva (in hat at center), Kelly Foster of London (in glasses at center)
and Kai Alexis Smith (front row) of Boston to meet with AfroCROWD community
leaders to discuss the future of AfroCROWD and how we can continue to serve
the African Diaspora from our headquarters in New York and around the world.
The event took place in the Trustees Boardroom of the Brooklyn Central
Library where AfroCROWD began nearly 4 years ago. Thank you to Mckensie
Mack of Art+Feminism and Heather Hart of Black Lunch table for calling in
to join us. Thanks also to the Brooklyn Library. This unifying meeting of
the minds event led to some great ideas. We look forward to sharing them
soon.
*AfroCROWD Program Director, Sherry Antoine, speaks at the United Nations
*AfroCROWD program director, Sherry Antoine, represented AfroCROWD
speaking at the United Nations ITU Summit on the Digital Divide January
30th. The goal of the event? Discuss efforts to close the digital divide
worldwide.
50% of the world is online- how do we leave no one behind? For us at
AfroCROWD, a start is relevance through inclusion in not only internet
content, but training in content creation by more women and people of every
color and background, in their language, dialect, image and stage of
technological capacity. Thanks to the embassy of Rwanda, Estonia, the
Internet Society and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) for
having this event.
*AfroCROWD speaks on Wikipedia as a global movement at Wikipedia Day, New
York, 2019 *AfroCROWD was pleased to join fellow Wikipedia global

and LaGuardia Community College along with discussion MC Abhishek
Suryawanshi, to talk about Wikipedia as Global movement during Wikipedia
Day 2019 at the Ace Hotel, NYC.

*AfroCROWD i.e. ** Afro Free Culture Crowdsourcing Wikimedia (AfroCROWD)*
is an outreach initiative and Wikimedia usergroup, which seeks to increase
awareness of the Wikimedia and free knowledge, culture and software
movements among potential editors of African descent. Since its launch
during Black Wiki History Month in 2015, AfroCROWD has sensitized thousands
in its target audience about free culture crowdsourcing and the need to
close the multicultural and gender gaps in Wikipedia. AfroCROWD has also
held monthly multilingual edit-a-thons in partnership with cultural
institutions, galleries, libraries, archives, museums (GLAM) and many
others. AfroCROWD has also worked with professors at educational
institutions like New York University, The New School, Icahn Medical School
and Columbia University among others. AfroCROWD also organizes events to
train future trainers in its target community.
