Creating New Rhythms Together 2026

Scroll down for photos.

ALF Silicon Valley’s Class XLV is just a few days away from completing their yearlong Fellows Program journey, having joined the incoming cohort from Class XLVI on March 13 at the Mexican Heritage Plaza for our traditional drumming day, also known as Creating New Rhythms Together.

For the current Fellows from Class XLV, the gathering was an opportunity to check in following their February Taking Stock session, where they had an opportunity to reflect on each of their journeys over the past year.

Of course, drumming day is also an opportunity to welcome and orientate the incoming Fellows, who are scheduled to officially begin on April 9. The two cohorts participated in the traditional multicultural drumming exercise led by ALF Senior Fellows Chike Nwoffiah (Class XXI) and Wisa Uemura (Class XXXI).

Stay tuned for announcements officially welcoming the members of Class XLV to the Senior Fellow network, including photos from their graduation. And look for our formal announcement of Class XLVI, including a full roster and introduction.
