Join us as we welcome our first guest, Arielle Julia Brown, writer, activist and creator of Love Balm for My SpiritChild: Testimonies of Healing Justice through Mothers’ Memory is a healing performance workshop series that celebrates the spirit of commemorative justice in mothers.
Love Balm for My SpiritChild was inspired by the revolutionary acts of mothers fighting for justice for their children living and dead. It was specifically inspired by how mothers’ memory has served as a vehicle for justice in the cases of the Rwandan Tutsi Genocide, Oscar Grant III Amadou Diallo, and Emmett Till. Participants witness, write and perform their own and others testimonies of revolutionary motherhood. The series is free and open to all mothers of color who identify with activism. http://lovebalmformyspiritchild.tumblr.com/
