Thank you for cooking with us in this Southern Beyond Survival workshop about Power, Oppression, and Collective Liberation.
The ingredients participants brought to the online session were amazing, and together we cooked up a delicious collective dish. We believe our Southern vision of collective liberation is stronger because of the time we spent together!
We fittin’ to continue cooking and experimenting with y’all! We hope you take these fixins and our collective recipe back to your community.
If you were there, we would really appreciate your taking three minutes to complete the evaluation survey, so we can be better equipped for the next potluck.
