#BRAVE DEFINITION SERIES#

As I've stated previously, no matter who's occupying 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., I want us to know that we're going to be good because we've activated our own agency, autonomy, and mobility. Of course, I am so grateful to all the attendees who made their way out (especially on that snowy Halloween) to engage in these conversations and to learn and share relevant best practices for community care in the face of continued depletion & marginalization. 1 pick for the respective date they covered (hallelujah)!.

Each of these dynamic creative women of color was my No. 7 at Build Coffee, using Toni Morrison’s “Racism and Fascism” essay as a guiding text. Then Tanuja Jagernauth presented the following week on Nov.

Next, I am so grateful for each presenter of this three-session series Jenna Anast led the series opener on Halloween at 345 Art Gallery.

21 at Experimental Station, my friend & fellow multi-hyphenate artist Nikki Patin presented her empowering Surviving The Mic workshop about nurturing brave spaces for self & community-the perfect bookend to the series.Īs I reflect on this curatorial experience, I want to first thank City Bureau (especially Andrea Hart & Ellie Mejía) for selecting my series pitch and for being such great production/community partners. This fall I curated a series of Public Newsrooms that we called, “Community Care in the 2020 Election: We Gon Be Alright,” which began by talking about building safe space.
