| Amplifying Black Trans Aliveness Tuesday, March 18th, and Wednesday, March 26th
At the intersections of race and gender, this workshop focuses on Black trans communities (and not just as proverbial concepts, but as real and vibrant communities that continue to shape our world). This session is about the protection, support, and thriving of people who are immeasurably minoritized by historic and systemic oppression—oppression that we each have a role in responding to and preventing. Together, we will discuss examples in the past and present to advance our accountability to intersectional liberation. Then, we will engage in self-reflection and goal-setting activities to develop future outcomes of Black trans aliveness. This session is not a naive utopian dream nor a space for hollow performativism; it is a praxis of Radical Imagination and an intentional space to explore our personalized roles in harm reduction and harm prevention. Each workshop participant will leave with (at least) one goal that amplifies Black trans aliveness, an accountability plan for their goal, and a robust list of resources for continued support. Note: Topics of this discussion include non-graphic themes of intimate partner violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, and other forms of harm that minoritized people face at disproportionate rates. All participants are welcome—regardless of their identities, scope of work, or prerequisite knowledge—as long as they are invested in a future where Black trans people are healing, honored, and safe.
