Facing Racism and Black Healing, Health, and Joy are coming together for this crossover event you do not want to miss! Recent Facing Racism cohort participants and folks of the Black diaspora are highly encouraged to attend as a supplement to the Facing Racism program.

This interactive session will focus on exploring, identifying and attending to the impacts of the legacy of racialized violence and oppression within our families and lineage and practices we can prioritize to cultivate intergenerational healing. We will use an abolition and liberation framework to harness the magic, power and brilliance of our Black ancestors, our collective nourishment, and our imperative responsibility to our descendants.

The three main objectives of Facing Racism Alumni programming are to:

• To provide a sacred space for former Facing Racism participants to reflect on and share about their personal and communal experiences to end anti-Black racism.
• To offer additional facilitation toward education around ending anti-Black racism.

• To counter white supremacy by integrating celebration and joy into personal and collective anti-Black racism work.

Our 2024 organizational theme is “FORTIFY”, we are hosting  workshops, experiences, portals that help us strengthen our minds, bodies and spirits. We hope to cultivate spaces to honor our becomings while preparing sacred spaces for us to conceal and emerge from our cocoons again and again and again. If our movement is centered on love, then we want these workshops to show our community how love is our strongest tool for constructing a reality where Black Beloveds are celebrated, protected, and seen in full.
