In Tha Village
“The child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel it’s warmth.” African Proverb
Welcome to Tha Village, the place for you to engage with people just like you along their own journey. Keep in mind we are a community in practice of how to BE with ourselves and each other. In this space WE:
Center the lived experience of Black Americans
Acknowledge privilege and power within social identities
Make space for nuance because we know there is always more than what meets the eye
Actively decolonize our conditioning, healing and liberation bu remembering who we are and bringing our whole selves forward
Honor the Earth as our eldest ancestor and all of her inhabitants and ourselves as divine, wisdom bearers and as resources without extraction and exploitation
Get really comfortable with being uncomfortable through the use of movement, arts, storytelling
Name our needs clearly and concisely while providing tangible ways to be supported
“We need ritual because it is an expression of the fact that we recognize the difficulty of creating a different and special kind of community. A community that doesn’t have a ritual cannot exists.”
Elder Malidoma Somé
