OUR LESSONS
WOMANIST
"A womanist perspective provides an intentional and contextual frame of reference...is relevant for Black women, the Black community- and/or the most marginalized in the world."
- Mitzi J. Smith -
Wisdom Lessons are the workshops and gatherings designed to center and direct the relevancy of power issues. For example, the relevancy of reproductive justice to bodily autonomy, water injustices Black women negatively experience to the history of reproductive freedom. Wisdom Lessons are facilitated by Wisdom Institute’s Facilitators Guild members who employ transformational models infused with music, storytelling, movement, art and dialogue.
Our “water is a human right” universe guides our determination to forward a deep womanist collectivism with a stealth intersectional trajectory – all imagined and actualized in sacred space where African American womxn are respected, honored and safe to be whole no matter where no matter what.
