THE HISTORY BEHIND THE WORK
Black women have always held the room
Long before there were hospitals, there were Black midwives and granny women who delivered generations of children, their own and others.
Long before there were school systems, there were Black teachers who gathered children in homes, churches, and fields and taught them to read by candlelight.
This work has always existed. We are its continuation.
Every journey begins with a conversation
