NURTURING
SPACE for
BLACK WOMEN
Caring for myself is not self-indulgence. It is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare. Audre Lorde
In the diaspora, Black women face a myriad of social challenges, labelled as not being good enough or simply ignored, denied care based on the fallacy that Black women don't have feelings or that their feelings don't matter, subjected to a firehose of conscious and unconscious discrimination, tarred with the trope of angry black woman to stigmatise and silence, creeping self-doubt from denial of mistreatment, a litany of trauma.
Where does a Black woman rest? Where is there understanding and tenderness for her? Where can she let down her defences?
If you identify as Black and as a woman, then this space is for you. A place to sit in community, to share your lived experience, find compassion, soothe your soul, support each other towards emotional freedom, and lighten the load for a better life.
The part of you, as a nonwhite person, causing you to see yourself reflected in the experience of racist people who never see themselves reflected in you or the discrimination you face, is the part of you that has internalized white supremacy. Bree Newsome
A video call, circle process supporting deep reflection alongside the inner work of emotional care paying attention to everything that arises in you, and the outer work of relating to others with compassion.
Each meeting runs for 90 minutes, starting with a brief description of the process, then opening up to sharing. We create a sacred space in which you are invited to give your attention and share your authentic experience. A transformative practice over time, growing interconnectedness and well-being.
