Inspired by Alice Walker (who was inspired by the powerful words of June Jordan), The Healing Project is launching a year-long communal healing campaign. In these chaotic times, we recognize that healing is a ritual—one we create together through art, storytelling, and healing justice.
Our campaign will offer RARE spaces for reflection, creativity, and connection, honoring the cultural resilience and strength within us all. Through our art-sharing hikes, virtual storytelling series, and the #WeAreTheOnes Challenge, we invite you to join us in reclaiming our stories and building a culture of healing.
Together, we are the ones who transform pain into power, isolation into community, and stories into healing. Follow along and take part in this journey with us.
The Healing Project is a grassroots initiative that centers the voices, stories, and lived experiences of racialized women. We cultivate radically brave spaces for healing justice through the arts and the politics of resistance and refusal—disrupting the status quo through testimonio, storytelling, and expressive, visual, and performance art.
Our work is an obsessive, creative, and collective riot against systems that silence, erase, and harm. Through community care, artistic research, and transformative engagement, we dismantle dominant narratives and reclaim healing as a political and embodied act of liberation.
We imagine a world where Black and racialized women are healed, whole, and free. A world where we are not just included but recognized as primary knowledge holders, theorists, and architects of our well-being—no longer positioned at the margins of research, policy, and care, but permanently at the center of our own narratives.
We envision our work touching communities at every level—deeply, intimately, and holistically—addressing mental health oppression, epistemic violence, psychical harm, and gender-based violence against Black and racialized women.
Through radical imagination, community-rooted scholarship, and artistic intervention, we are not just envisioning change—we are making it inevitable.
