A social experiment that will provide BIPOC and allies a safe space to thoughtfully listen and express to each other their experiences.
About this Event

This safe space will encourage us to free ourselves from our mental enslavement and preconditioned beliefs about our racial, social, and cultural identities so we can instead recognize our similarities. This social experiment will include wellness instructors, an interactive panel of speakers, and spoken word performers that will be a representation for their personal history as a person of the African Diaspora. They are there to speak up and serve as mediators to encourage an open dialogue amongst all people to connect the people of the African diaspora and ignite positive support within communities of color.

Ticket includes a meditation/sound healing experience, interactive discussion activities, panel discussion, spoken word performances, and lite bites and refreshments.
