Friendship & Freedom: Free Workshop

REGISTRATION IS CLOSED: Hi friends, we’re grateful for your interest! We’ve hit our capacity for this event and plan to run additional sessions once I’m back from my sabbatical. If you’re not on our mailing list please sign up (bottom of this page) Let’s get free!

 

When we are in community, when we see each other as kin, when we live beyond ourselves and the family unit we are our most powerful.

 

But folks are tired, folks are lonely, folks are struggling to maintain or make new friendships.

 

Y’all, this is capitalism and other systems of domination at work.

 

Our togetherness is our strength.

 

We get free through knowing and nourishing each other, finding joy and meaning in the everyday — surviving and dismantling these systems will kill us otherwise.

 

Friendship is where we practice liberation.

 

I want to bring a group of us together next week to reflect on these questions:

1. How do we identify and push back on the systemic obstacles keeping us from deep friendship and kinship?

2. In what ways do we need a deeper analysis of the link between friendship and freedom –how is friendship a political and social force for change?

3. How do we develop relationships in which we are completely free? In which our guard is down because we know we’ll be safe and held –even when we mess up.

Join us for this one-hour free interactive workshop as we discuss these questions, build our collective analysis, and maybe make some new friends.

I’m committing to rest: my sabbatical

“If you are silent about your pain, they’ll kill you and say you enjoyed it.” -Zora Neale Hurston Deeply tired, emotionally exhausted Black women seem to be the norm. Many of us watched our mothers, and grandmothers, and aunts, continue to take on more, and more, and...

You can’t talk about race if you ain’t gonna talk about power

Race is a human-invented concept used to categorize people with devastating consequences. White supremacy is the system of power used to create and reinforce those consequences. Race is more than skin color and hair texture. It is more than boxes or categories we like...
