As folks descended from African people who were enslaved, we understand that the questions about ancestry in our Open Road Fund application, though necessary, can bring up a variety of feelings.
Our virtual Community Care Call on Tuesday, June 23, 6-7:30 pm CT, offers an opportunity to help process and explore these emotions. In collaboration with Marlee James, a licensed mental health professional from Reviving Roots, we’ll hold a space where our people can heal from the sense of personal shame, sadness, and anger about our origins.

Space is limited to 100 people on a first-come, first-served basis. If you already feel knowledgeable about your ancestry, please make room for folks seeking to learn.
