Community Care on pause til post COVID-19
Our pop up series bring social justice infused wellness to marginalized communities. Our tailored activities provide real time self and community care practices. We offer three different pop-up themes that calls us to re-imagine
our communities, patron local establishments and, re-screen old films that tell authentic cultural narratives.
We strategically partner with locally owned establishments, community ran organizations, and for-profit/non-profit businesses.
Self Care After a F-Boy
This project views the casual mistreatment of women as a public health issue; measuring the mental, emotional and physiological effect of unhealthy relationship dynamics. Through shared narratives we hope to expose harmful cultural norms and social patterns to identify the specific shifts in beliefs, attitudes and actions necessary to co-create a healthier culture rooted in emotional justice.
Our upcoming virtual workshop/yoga series is premiering in February!

Research
We are research lead in order to be solution oriented.
The American Psychology Association and interdisciplinary social scientist confirm that communities subjected to a higher frequency of adversity, such as racial discrimination, experience more stress.
We recognize the pervasiveness of stigma and discrimination as causes of chronic stress and stress as a public health issue. Therefore, our series intervenes by de-stressing chronically stressed community members.
As a creative, social science research and community intervention project we are shifting the hangout culture in Atlanta to include self-care inspired introspective exercises, stress & tension release via breathing techniques and other body centered holistic work, conscious raising activities through systemic roots and inter-generational contentedness. We partner with local restaurants to provide free food to all who participate and depend on local stores for in-kind donations for our Community Care events.
Our facilitators are a collective of certified teachers, social workers, and healing justice organizers committed to equipping our communities with practical tools to secure their awareness, agency, and wellness in real-time.
