I am excited to interrupt the historical trauma that is being created today by Announcing and Launching the Womyn of Color Healing Justice Consortium. The CONSORTIUM is for YOU! It’s FOR US! It is our HEALING and OUR MEDICINE. The Consortium creates spaces for survivors in leadership positions and the communities they serve to heal from the depth and breadth of the invisible, insidious ways gender-based violence has shaped and impacted their leadership without them knowing, leaving in its path both resiliency and scarcity. The consortium is also a response to the ongoing question I get asked all the time, do you know any consultants that you trust? Consultants, that are at the intersection of healing, trauma and social justice, grounded in diverse spirituality, rooted in historical trauma, inclusive of race, class and ability, sexuality, gender identity/expression, or faith-based/religious affiliation and do cross-movement work? Consultants that most of all have done their own healing, have integrity, know how to hold space for emotional release, are accountable and are responsible for each other and their work? Now I can say, Why yes, yes I do! |
On November 9th, 2016 women and girls in the United States’ woke up to a different world, the kind that one wakes up to after being sexually assaulted – a world forever changed. Over a full year, millions of women and girls sat and watched a presidential election that openly talked about assaulting women’s private parts. The process triggered millions of women’s stories of sexual assault around the globe.
