Womanism, Restorative Practices, and Healing through Community

The Restorative Practices Advisors present a student-led workshop and subsequent restorative justice circle centered around the values of Womanism, in alignment with Dr. Cherry’s article” Black Feminism is For Everyone”. Beginning with a mindfulness exercise, the RPAs will guide the room through a discussion of the four tenets of Womanism as they relate to Dr. Cherry’s work on Black Feminism, and transition into an opening exercise, which will prepare participants for the culminating activity, a community-building restorative justice circle practice. Prompts in the exercise and the circle will draw on this year’s theme in connection with restorative practices.
