*You do not need to have education or credentials to be considered as valid in our space. No justifying your observations of oppression.

*You do not have to convince you are a 'good Black person'. Your mere existence has always been enough!

*All observations matter. Period. The best way to disentangle intersecting oppression is to listen to people in search of understanding. Period.

*Remember liberation not rightness.

Our Team

De-Centralized Leadership
Diverse Black Voices

We are not in competition, but in constant conversations with diverse Black voices. In a constant effort to decolonize and dismantle White supremacist, patriarchal, capitalism,  our leadership is shared fluently. We also especially elevate Black women, youth, and college scholars, not as token martyr. We honor BLK Women and youth who were early organizers within the network. 

How are the children doing?

Modified - We must slow down enough and ask with purpose. How are the children? All the children are well means that life is good. It means the daily struggle for existence does not preclude proper care for the young.
