BFF#5 that I speak tenderness (for ordinary mawnings)
The fifth Black Feminist Friends write-with session will take place online on Thursday 27th February 2025 from 7-9pm.
Hosted and facilitated by therapist*writer and author Foluke Taylor, these reflective writing sessions provide an opportunity to come into closer contact with our hearts, with Black feminist thought, and with what we know and where we know from. Participants are guided through writing activities from and with material (text, visual, sound pieces and other artefacts) chosen by the BFF guest for the month.
For this month’s gathering we welcome artist, eco-feminist, and cultural-community organiser, Lateisha Davine Lovelace-Hanson. See video below.
The BFF series is an offering for the carers and helpers; for the therapists, healers, teachers, and activists; for the family and friends; for all of us who offer support to others; for WE who understand that engaging in creative practice together—and keeping our breaking hearts open—gives life to our work. This series centres the intellectual and creative production and lived experiences of Black women. Some sessions will be open to Black women only. Others will be open to all. This session is open to all.
*Respect and gratitude to Jean Binta Breeze
