— A PRAYER —
OUR MISSION
Grounded in Ancestral wisdom, our grassroots collective care prioritizes the emotional and mental health of genderqueer People Of Culture / The Global Majority through resource distribution, Seed saving and wellness sessions. With our zero-waste principles, and truth & reconciliation pillars, our foundation of self agency fosters a play-based, relationship centered community, where every being thrives.
Since 2011, with our BY US, FOR US model, we center intersectionality, blackness, differently abled, houseless, youth, Nature and those incarcerated. Through our spiritually awakened, liberated organization, our culturally competent education becomes direct action towards health equity, social justice, sacred traditions, environmental stewardship, intersectional diversity, and play.
Our Three Pillars: Wellness Sessions | Truth & Reconciliation | Zero Waste
As an Afro intersex + community led initiative we bolster basic dignities, access to leadership roles and truth telling. A decade strong Liberatory Network circulating resources to cultural hubs, collective housing, community gardens and families. We sustain genuine relationships built upon trust, collaboration & witnessing the fullness of each member. We value rest and creative expression as essential parts of living. Our community spaces exist for the purpose of replenishing and rejuvenating our bodies.
