Description
Come hang out!
It is a hugely stressful, emotional and triggering time for black women and many other women of colour. We wanted to create a safe space people to spend time, support one another, hang out and have fun.
Gassing with the Galdem is a weekly meeting space for women of colour to speak freely without the emotional labour of having to self moderate or consider white feelings and create new connections outside of existing social circles, so please only book if this is how you identify.
Meeting every Monday evening at 8pm, loosely facilitate by members from both our Manchester, Leeds and Sheffield branches, this space can be as radical or relaxing, celebratory, silly, angry or chill as it wants to be from week to week, let's feel it out together!
It can be a space to offload and/or organise, to laugh, vent, cry! To strategise, spend time, waste time, heal and or bond together.
We'll meet weekly to touch base and get to know one another, with loose themes each week to shape the content and informally steer the conversations. If you've got something you'd particularly like to discuss, please drop us an email! girlgangmanchester@gmail.com
This weeks theme is: TWERK, BITCH
Discussions will include...
- WOC and the music industry
- Sexualisation and trophyism of WOC
- Cultural Appropriation of Black/Asian culture in music
- Blackfishing and blackface
- Hair, beauty and fashion
- Stereotyping of WOC in music
We would love to have you in our circle and help shape this space together xx
