WHAT PARTICIPANTS SAY
What was most memorable was seeing a room full of beautiful black and brown families together, learning together, building together, and strengthening our solidarity as a community that faces many of the same struggles." So inspired to see young Black men leading and learning about how to be healthy and well! This has renewed my hope for the future! We are good!" |
It was so beautiful to have safe space to share with my daughter and my mother- at the same time- all this things I love about being a Black women. It was so necessarily for our generations to come together in such a beautiful way." I really need to be out in these woods to reset and get grounded for my week." |
