COURSES & CURATION

I founded the Black Womanhood (Re-)Affirmation Project to be a salve. Utilizing writing and creative movement work that center Black women’s experiences, the Black WRAP builds radical self-love in and affirms Black women. In my course and workshop series, we learn to love ourselves and begin to change the systems around us through our individual and collective healing. 

Starting with a conversation series in Ghana in 2026, I attached The Black WRAP’s name and logo to my cultural curation work. My travels to Africa since 2022 have inspired the next course series. I’ve been exposed to the religiosity and patriarchy on the continent, the culture of respectability, and gendered subordination that has pre- and post-colonial roots. African Americans have long looked to Africa as home, a place where we can be free, where we can be ourselves in body and spirit. But as a Ghanaian sister at the country’s 2025 Pa Gya! Literary Festival pointed out to me when I asked about this Black Western Atlantic interpretation of Africa, “Colonization f*cked us [continental Africans] up, and we all [descendants of the colonized and descendants of the enslaved] have a lot of healing to do from that.” 

At the same literary festival, Nana Darkoa Sekyiamah, the author of the book, Seeking Sexual Freedom: African Rites, Rituals, and Sankofa in the Bedroom, appeared on two panels. I attended both. And months later, it occurred to me that her book could do a lot of healing—if Black women read it together.

So this next course series is about Black women healing—in Africa and the African Diaspora—by reading, writing, and learning together. Like my previous course, Rewritten, Re-read, Unbound, and Unafraid, we will read together, tell our stories, and plot our journeys toward freedom through the taboo and writing the unspeakable parts of our lives. 

The next series is in development! Keep reading for a glimpse of previous offerings. And subscribe to my Substack for the latest essays.
