About SPOKENproject:

Resisting, surviving, healing from, and coping with racism through storytelling.

Racism has been and continues to be a pressing social issue that threatens the mental , academic, vocational, economic, social, and physical health and safety of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC).

Inspired by Audre Lorde and years of first-hand knowledge of the healing that comes in the form of and through our own storytelling, SPOKENproject aims to provide BIPOC a space to give voice to their experiences, share strategies for coping with racism, and find validation, support, and a sense of connection - and ultimately help to resist, deconstruct, and dismantle racism.

"I have come to believe over and over again that what is most important to me must be spoken, made verbal and shared, even at the risk of having it bruised or misunderstood." Audre Lorde, The Transformation of Silence into Language and Action.
