#BreatheWithMe
Healing Conversations
A restorative space for people who identify as Black or African American to share, breathe and meditate.
Caring for myself is not self-indulgence; it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.
-Audre Lorde
This is an invitation for those who are overwhelmed with the continual injustices of the world. For those who want to create space in their lives for self-care. And for those who want to heal, as the fight for justice continues…
— Lateefah Williams
