“ We (Black women) have also been developers of vision, that vision that has kept us keeping on during those very brutalizing times.... there has to be more options ... a better way, another way to be in the universe, a more human and responsible way, that vision of that possibility, that’s very much kept alive by Black women, the community of women.”
— Toni Cade Bambara, Black Women as a Political Force
We return to the spirit of the Toni Cade Bambara Weekend gathering with the Black Women Cultural Workers Archive , a space where sisterhood was not discussed abstractly, but practiced in real time and brought fully into presence for the grown sister circle.
Sisterhood is a Verb: Black Women Cultural Worker Discussion Circle gathered Black women cultural workers into shared space for reflection, vulnerability, and honest exchange , into the active practice of sistering.
Led by founders and , we listened to Toni Cade Bambara speak, read her words collectively, and then turned toward one another — knee-to-knee — speaking intimately about the labor, responsibility, and possibilities of this work as Black women.
closed the evening with a meditative poetry offering that grounded us while also asking us to imagine beyond the present and toward the futures we are collectively shaping.
All praises due to the Universe, the elders , the ancestors who continue to carry us through… Special things to our partner &
Thank you to for hosting us ✨
