Hosted By University of Minnesota

This will be a collaborative learning workshop towards designing liberatory & possible futures for our communities. We will explore transformative skills and tools rooted in Black Feminist and Healing Justice traditions and dreams. We will also imagine what transcending barriers for working and healing together can look like in these times.

For the past 30+ years, she has organized with Black, Indigenous and People of Color, Queer/Trans/Lesbian/Gay/Bi/Intersex/Gender Non-Conforming liberation movements in the US & Global South at the intersections of racial, gender & economic justice, reproductive justice, healing justice and transformative justice. She is leading a new project, Changing Frequencies, an archival/memory and cultural organizing project building power with communities who want to confront, heal from & transform the historical and contemporary exploitative practices and abuses of the Medical Industrial Complex (MIC).
