Emotional Emancipation Circle
September 15, 2018 @ 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Save for Later
Emotional Emancipation (EE) Circles SM are self-help support groups in which we (black people) work together to overcome, heal from, and overturn the lies of White superiority and Black inferiority: the root causes of the devaluing of Black lives.
- Share our stories and feelings, always respecting the humanity and dignity of each EE Circle member.
- Deepen our understanding of the impact of historical forces on our emotional lives, our relationships, and the well-being of our communities.
- Free our minds and spirits from the lies of White superiority and Black inferiority, and heal from the historical and continuing trauma of racism.
- Tell ourselves a new, liberating, and empowering story about who we are as people of African ancestry.
- Revitalize ourselves and our relationships with each other.
- Learn and practice essential emotional wellness skills to help us be at our very best-–asindividuals and as a people.
- Develop strategies to extinguish the lies of White superiority and Black inferiority–once and for all.
