<p>Having gathered in groups for millenia, we are irrevocably bound to each other as human beings. Through our assertion of communities, we have built civilizations - and even when these fall, we continue to rely on our interconnectedness to shape our world. We simply cannot exist without the presence of other people; drawing on collaboration for practical, emotional and spiritual growth as we traverse our temporal trajectory through the ages.</p> <p>Within community spaces, our differences and similarities are channeled as an anchoring of values, imbuing our lives with illustrious meaning. As Audre Lorde said - “Without community, there is no liberation.” - and this is the precise vision we ought to maintain through a digitally-expansive era, in which our ability to be connected is constantly shifting.</p> <p>Without our community - exemplified by the voices witnessed throughout this series - we would not be where we are. We remain forever grateful.</p>
