Black/African American Affinity Support Group
This group allows African American/Black people to authentically and freely “let their hair down” and talk as if one was at home with their family without judgment. Truly decenter the privileged and without the compulsion or need to take care of white or other people. Create a space to talk and process the most recent traumas. Understand racially abusive transactions (aka – micro and macro aggressions) that African American and Black people endure daily due to whiteness, white superiority, white terror, white supremacy, denial, projection, and repression.
The facilitator will create and manage a safe, comfortable, and brave space to assist with rechanneling one’s rage and anger, acknowledging and validating one’s experience with systemic and institutional racism while practicing exhaling, encouraging the need to breathe, and unlocking learned voicelessness due to 500 years of subjugation/oppression/repression/white supremacy.
The Breathing Room
An affinity group for African American/Black people who are enduring the centrality of whiteness and learning how to survive the deconstruction of white supremacy.
