we exist within….
a lineage of African and African descended people who have always resisted domination and refused imposed knowledges and narratives. Resisting racial capitalism and gender oppression while surviving the collapse of the U.S. empire is vital. It also drains our energy and often limits our practices and visions of liberation to the confines of current dominant structures, systems, and cultures. We survive not by relying on systems designed for our destruction, but by interdependently living, loving, being, and creating otherwise.
we exist to…..
share power, sustain dignity, rehearse the liberation we long for, and to gather members of the African diaspora to practice Black feminist fugitive leadership and world-building.
We are dreaming of…..
a decentralized, intercommunal, diasporic network of Black feminist cultural workers, practitioners, and organizers in land-based, liberated sites and zones across the Americas and the Caribbean.
“Trauma and the ongoing traumas of oppression can keep us hypervigilant, limiting our ability to dream and vision. Believing we can conjure new worlds is part of how we heal our relationship to imagination and creation.”
