Leaves of Change

by Sonja Camara & Grace O’Malley

Time indeed waits for no one, and as this year has unfolded, that adage has proven
true. As we transition into September and the autumn months approach, we extend a warm, heartfelt thank you to summer. The season provided us with glorious weather, allowing us to reconnect with distant friends and family through delightful festivals, fetes, barbecues, and meaningful conversations during walks.
We embrace autumn, particularly for the kaleidoscope of colors it presents. The vibrant
greens, reds, golds, and browns offer a cheerful display of nature’s beauty. As we witness
the changes around us, we also anticipate the enriching community events that autumn
brings.
Our tribute to Agenda Brown is a small token of our appreciation for the support he gave
us over the years.
The Listening Corner’s Discovery Pride is an annual event that should not be missed.
It’s an opportunity to meet new people and access essential services that support
individuals with dignity in overcoming substance misuse. Additionally, the Sickle Cell
and Thalassemia awareness and support day is an invaluable occasion to learn about the
services and referrals available in the borough.
Haringey Black History Month 365 invites you to explore the myriad of activities taking place across the borough. And let’s not forget the Breast Cancer Awareness Big Pink Tea Party, where you can enjoy light refreshments, arts and crafts, and good company, all while engaging in discussions about breast cancer awareness and local support services.
As we welcome the new season, we encourage you to learn something new, engage in conversation with a stranger, or perhaps, more importantly, allow a stranger to listen to you. Here’s to a season of change, discovery, and community spirit.
