Description

HAPPY JUNETEENTH DAY!

Today, the words self-care is seen everywhere, but did you know it was originally described as a form of political resistance? Join us as we discuss the history of self-care, how and why we practice it, and its importance to a larger liberation struggle for Black people across the diaspora. This event will be fishbowl style intended to promote dialogue with attendees. Our “panelists/ conversation starters will begin the dialogue and attendees will be invited to take part in conversation and share their own perspectives.
