“Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.” - Audre Lorde

Understanding the exhaustion experienced by Black women in the face of multilayered oppression, the purpose of this workshop is

  • To create a healing space through shared stories/experiences.
  • To provide resources that aid in self care and continued growth.
  • To be in community with other black women.
  • To have a baseline understanding of white supremacist capitalist patriarchy
  • to provide strategies of self-preservation and self care in the face of racism, sexism, patriarchy, and misogynoir.

Food and beverages will be provided. We look forward to being in community with you.
