A Forum for Black Women NOW!!

Resilience, Renewal, Self-care in a Time of Crisis

A Personal Invitation for Black Women Who Have Been Carrying Too Much

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.

What To Expect:

In this 90-minute virtual forum, you’ll be guided through interactive discussions and exercises designed to help you:

  • Create daily practices that support your mental and physical health
  • Tap into mental and physical resilience and your inner calm 
  • Decide whether it’s time to pursue a deferred dream or goal
  • Identify and seek the right mental-health support if needed
  • Balance serving your family with serving yourself
  • Build the kind of community that sustains you in difficult times

You’ll leave with a personal blueprint for resilience—a clear, grounded plan to carry you forward.

Are We Caring for Ourselves the Way We Deserve?
Many of us are feeling what we rarely admit out loud:
  • This feels like more than I can handle
  • I’m dealing with the grief of watching progress unravel

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.

Meet Your Guides:

Sister-Talk: Everything You Need to Know About the Forum

Testimonial from a Writing Workshop Participant

Creating a Safe and Nurturing Environment

In my writing workshops, I create an environment that is nurturing and safe. I am dedicated to rigor and excellence and encourage writers to become fearless in the pursuit of the unique beauty and truth of their story.

I Want to Write

You want to write but can’t create or sustain a consistent writing life.

Working with Marita Golden was a major turning point in my life as a writer. She saw things in my work that I didn't see myself, and she guided me with the unmistakable skill of a true master. But more importantly, she saw things in me as a writer--as the person I am--that I had yet to claim. She helped and continues to help me toward full confidence in my vision. My voice is stronger and clearer because of her support.

Write Regularly With Confidence

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.
