Spread Love I
We need to Build & Cultivate Black Space is about love but it's also about liberation. Fannie Lou Hamer said it, WEB Dubois, Assata Shakur said it, Malcolm X said it, and even Booker T. Washington said it. The brightest sons and daughters and (I hope they would say) non-binary persons will rise to the occasion for their Community.
First, we need to gather the conversations about ourselves and what we care about in safe space. We can discuss if we care about animals? Do we believe in a vegan lifestyle? Do we fill we are choked by police containment, poor health options in our community or a corrupt legal system? Do we disunite with fracking for natural gas? What is reparations to you? What do you use for self-care? How do you participate in trade (money, skills, product, etc.)?
As we move week-to-week, we will rebalance our time with Black conversations with Black actions and Black objectives with Black deliverables. It simply means, focus on your Black-self or goals...not what society wants.
Volunteer with us. Anybody can volunteer with Black VegFest.
