#BMHW2024 Offerings from Soul 2 Soul Sisters
Kickoff #BMHW24 with Taking Black Motherhood Back: A Collective Reflection on Our Experiences, Pressures & Ways Forward on Thursday, April 11th from 6:00 - 7:30 PM MST.
Join FreeBlackMotherhood & Soul 2 Soul Sisters to uncover how historical narratives on motherhood harm us as Black mamas and mothering people today. Led by Ambreia Meadows-Hernandez, this interactive discussion-style workshop is an opportunity to discuss the examples of motherhood we witnessed in childhood, the parents we want to be, and the structural demands that impact our mental wealth and well-being, eventually trickling down to our households and communities. As we speak of our experiences, concerns, and community needs, we'll share space, validate each other, dream up affirming motherhood, and find healing in reflection, community, and conversation.
This workshop is virtual and free to the public
