Healing Black Moms: Beyond Incarceration & Violence

RADICAL RELEASE: FROM RETREAT TO ART SHOW - THE FINAL CHAPTER

ACT NOW: Artshow launches in less than THREE WEEKS!

CELEBRATION & GRATITUDE!

Your incredible generosity has already made magic happen! Thanks to your support, we successfully hosted the transformative three-day Radical Release Retreat (March 28–30) at Camp Mitchell on Petit Jean Mountain, followed by our powerful post-retreat integration workshop at Village Place in Little Rock, Arkansas.

During these gatherings, Black mothers and their children created sacred space to rest, heal, and reconnect through culturally resonant practices including yoga, dance therapy, storytelling, and world-building workshops. Our Hoodoo-inspired cord-cutting ceremony deepened the healing journey. Visit our updates section to see video highlights from both transformative experiences!

THE JOURNEY CONTINUES: Mother's Day Art Exhibition - May 11th

We're now in the final, crucial phase of Radical Release: our Mother's Day public art exhibition on May 11th. This showcase will amplify the creative expressions, resilience, and radical imagination of retreat participants, transforming personal healing into public advocacy and collective liberation.

This is where ART becomes ACTIVISM.

WE'RE SO CLOSE! Help Us Cross the Finish Line

We've raised $6,533 toward our $10,000 goal to fully fund this project and fairly compensate our 12 incredible facilitators, who traveled from Washington, D.C., St. Louis, and across Arkansas to make this vision a reality.

We're launching our "3K in 3 Weeks" campaign to raise the remaining funds needed to make this transformative project possible! Your donation now will directly support our remaining project expenses, including:

THREE WAYS TO SUPPORT THIS FINAL PHASE:

WHY THIS MATTERS NOW MORE THAN EVER

The trauma of incarceration and domestic violence creates deep, lasting wounds for Black families. Through Radical Release, we've witnessed firsthand how intentional community spaces can transform pain into power. This exhibition is the culmination of that journey—creating public witness to the truth that rest is resistance, creativity is healing, and liberation requires collective imagination.

Help us complete this vital circle of healing. Your support ensures that these stories and creative expressions reach beyond our retreat space to inspire broader community action.
