Beloved are centered, always.   

Beloved are Black women, girls, and nonbinary folks. 

Beloved are children, youth, and women survivors. 

Beloved are folks who have experienced human sex trafficking. 

Beloved are warriors of love, awareness, and connectivity.  

How do you listen to survivors? 

How do your actions align with your beliefs? 

How does white supremacy impact your every day? 

Healing Arts are generative 

“Black women are inherently valuable, that our liberation is a necessity not as an adjunct to somebody else's may because of our need as human persons for autonomy.”

– The Combahee River Collective Statement (1977) 

We believe that art has the possibility to shift consciousness when done with intention. Healing arts are ​​creative practices that promote healing, wellness, coping and personal change. Our impact focuses on preventation, awareness, and education. These spirit led expressive arts linked to Black feminist principles around liberation and care. Generative spaces are capable of (re)producing or creating with infinite mediums.

Examples: Install garden altars, lighting design, street pole art, poster art, sidewalk affirmations, music, food, dance, poetry, social action plays, multimedia videos, and murals.

People Power is the only way  

We know that healing happens together, all installations and activations are done in groups.  Intergenerational and multicultural coalition to end child sex trafficking. We believe in intentional collaborations between heart centered beings. This work is an act of witnessing andimpactful creative activations. At the core it is about spreading love and not focused on individual people, organizations, initiatives or egos. 

We embrace the support of our community advocates and allies and we ask that folks reflect on their positionality. Decentering whiteness, maleness, and savior complexes. 

ALL should be Protected

We know that safety is subjective and aim to strategically design realities that interrogate the norms of the dominant narrative by cultivating environments. We struggle to question “safe spaces” and call in holistic protection; physical, spiritual, mental, and emotional.

Who is protected? Who is not?
