Sacred Ink: Black Love as Resistance

10:00 AM - 12:00 PM PST • Virtual (Google Meet) Virtual

Sacred Ink is a communal writing space for witnessing, nurturing, loving, liberating, reflecting, and expressing. This virtual, stay-at-home gathering is designed to meet participants wherever they are. On February 15, we gather in honor of Black Love Day and the birthday of Toni Morrison, celebrating her as an ancestor whose work fiercely honored Black love in its many forms. Through guided writing prompts, reflection, and optional sharing, we will explore love, intimacy, and passion as acts of resistance. Come as you are. Bring your notebook, your breath, your tea or coffee, your quiet, your questions. This is a space to be witnessed and to witness others — rooted in Black love, memory, and care.

Brotherhood & Becoming: A Virtual Gathering for Black Trans Men & Masc Folx

10:00 AM PST/1:00 PM EST • Virtual (Google Meet) Virtual

A Virtual Gathering for Black Trans Men & Masc Folx Rooted in Reflection, Care & Collective Liberation. Brotherhood & Becoming is a virtual, stay-at-home gathering created for Black trans men and masc folx across the globe to come together in reflection, fellowship, healing, and collective care. Held in honor of Transmasculine Visibility Day, this gathering centers brotherhood not as performance, but as practice — a shared commitment to being present with one another, telling the truth about our lives, and affirming each other’s becoming. This space is designed to support deep conversation, mutual uplift, and collective imagination. Participants are invited to arrive as they are — whether rested or tired, grounded or searching — and to engage in ways that feel supportive and accessible. The gathering will include: - A keynote reflection by a Kits Blanc, grounded in curiosity, imagination, and lived experience - Facilitated breakout spaces for conversation, reflection, and connection - Time for collective dialogue, affirmation, and brotherhood This is not a conference and not a performance space. Cameras may be on or off. Sharing is always optional. Listening, resting, and quiet presence are welcome forms of participation. Hosting this gathering virtually allows us to reach Black trans men and masc folx who may be navigating barriers related to travel, caregiving, health, disability, time zones, or safety. This stay-at-home format reflects our commitment to accessibility, care, and widening the circle. Brotherhood & Becoming is a space to be seen without spectacle, held without explanation, and supported in community.
