This has been a hard year for our community. We’ve felt savaged by job loss as over 300,000 Black women have been purged from the Federal Government. DEI initiatives and programs that once recognized the rights of all citizens have been criminalized. Books by Black authors continue to be banned. Black history erased. Racism, political instability, and chaos continue to rise.
It’s been a lot.
For some of us it’s been almost too much.
And yet, through it all, we keep showing up—for our families, our communities, our colleagues—even when our hearts are tired and our bodies are asking for rest.
In this 90-minute virtual forum, you’ll be guided through interactive discussions and exercises designed to help you:
You’ll leave with a personal blueprint for resilience—a clear, grounded plan to carry you forward.
Dr. Pamela Brewer and I have created this new virtual forum—a space for reflection, connection, and renewal at a time when we need it most.
This gathering is an invitation for you to share your stories of creation and survival, ask your questions, and reconnect with your power. Because when Black women gather in truth and sisterhood, healing ripples outward. We restore ourselves, and in doing so, we restore our families, our communities, and our future.

You want to write but can’t create or sustain a consistent writing life.
Becoming a skilled writer unleashes demons, doubt, fears and anxieties for which writers are often unprepared. Many who want to write fear they lack the talent or tenacity required of the dedicated writer. I lead workshops where these subjects are not taboo, are discussed openly and where writers find and create community. Through writing exercises inspired by my many years as a master teacher, participants break through the psychological barriers that cripple their attempts to write with regularity and confidence.
