Abantu the People Circle

In 2025, Wendy Freeman and Sasha Daucus united in collaboration and  active solidarity with Nontokozo Sabic to support the building of Ubuntu co-create. One of our collaborative initiatives is the Abantu People Circle, a webinar series designed to create sacred space for unheard voices and untold stories from our communities. This platform brings together change-makers, community workers, educators, and activists to share their wisdom, challenges, and hopes. Through mutual care and allyship, we aim to foster meaningful connections and inspire collective action for a brighter future.

where it began -

 In 2020, A group of Deep Adaptation Forum volunteers came together to form the Diversity and Decolonising Circle (D&D Circle). Its core mission was to confront white supremacy, structural racism, and colonial mindsets within the broader climate adaptation movement.

Mission and Purpose

• Examine Privilege: Highlight how Western, white privileges unconsciously shape mainstream ecological and collapse-preparedness spaces.

• Center Marginalised Voices: Listen to and stand in solidarity with Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPoC).

• Connect Crises: Emphasise that climate breakdown and systemic social oppression (like patriarchy and colonial exploitation) are deeply intertwined. 

Key Activities

• Anti-Racism Training: Offered specialised internal training sessions for key movement volunteers, facilitated by experts like Nontokozo Sabic. 

• Open Spaces: Hosted peer reflection spaces, open meetings, and dialogue circles focused on unlearning dominant cultural habits. 

• Resource Sharing: Curated external de colonial readings, guides, and indigenous perspectives (such as works by Tyson Yunkaporta and Robin Wall Kimmerer) to broaden the movement's worldview
