Voices & Stories: Community. Culture. Commerce.

Join the Centerville Washington Township Diversity Council at Safari Treasures, a locally owned boutique in Centerville, for an inspiring cultural experience centered on craftsmanship, connection, and community. Owner Sandra Simi will share her personal journeys sourcing handcrafted baskets and home décor from artisans in Africa, India, and South America. Through stories and vivid examples, Sandra will highlight the generations of skilled weavers she has met, the family traditions lovingly passed down over time, and the natural materials—grasses, reeds, fibers, and dyes—used to create each unique piece.
