Together, we will wrestle with questions around the healing and work needed—not just to survive, but to thrive in the new year. Discussions will touch on themes of self-care, community impact, relationships, finances, and more.
All you need to bring are your thoughts, ideas, mobile phones, and love of music. Come be part of the conversation!

The Black Time Travel Project | An Exploration of Black Feminist Theory & Archival Practice
During this time, people have so many private thoughts and feelings about their personal histories and our collective history. From economics, to mental health, to gentrification -- the world feels like it is changing rapidly, but somehow, staying the same. What do you do with all of these thoughts and feelings? How do you document your past, present and future?
In a series of 3 workshops, The Black Time Travel Project will explore the ways in which Black feminist thought can guide is in documenting our past, present and future experiences. These workshops will be part guided lecture, and part interactive art workshop, using papercrafts and archival methods like zine-making, collaging, scrapbooking, letter writing, and time capsule creation. No matter where you are in your practice, pull up and create with us. Creating feels better in community!
Black Girl Rising LA is a project dedicated to helping Black women and women of color in the Greater Los Angeles area use Black feminist principles to engage in art, archival practices, and wellness-related activities.

about the workshops
Zine-Making & Collaging – Sunday January 26th
In this workshop, we will learn about the ephemeral archive of collaging. Sometimes we create things and they don’t last. Still, intentionally using physical materials (pen, paper, crayons), as well as mixed media (newspapers, art), can be a powerful tool for expression, communication, and mental wellness. This workshop will also be an opportunity for people who are interested in longer form expression. Zines, which are similar to personally created magazines, offer a low-tech, creative way to share their thoughts with community. Zines can provide a powerful discussion point for difficult topics, too.
Scrapbooking, Letter Writing, & Family Archiving – Sunday February 23rd
With this workshop, we shift from public facing content, like collages or zines, to the more interpersonal and interior ways of sharing. Many Black people have incomplete archives (the unlabeled photo album, the box of memorabilia that is unorganized and uncataloged). Here, we will talk about the importance of archiving family history, and talk about a range of strategies for doing this (scrapbooking, photobook making, audioarchiving). Participants will work on their own small plan for documenting/archiving their family history. This workshop will also focus on letter writing as a lost art. People will write letters to their friends and family. We will use beautiful art and stationery and reflect on the meditative practice of letter writing. We will discuss the importance of letters to the Black archive.
Time Capsule Creation – Sunday March 23rd
The time capsule creation workshop is a family friendly and fun workshop where people can think about what items they would want to save to capture this historical moment, and who they would want to share those items with (aliens, future family members, children, partners, etc.). This workshop incorporates Black science fiction and art.

Join Sonder Impact, Sip & Sonder, and Dr. Byron Young as we present Dr. Young’s “The Cypher Sessions,” where the minds and ideas of the community synergistically come together to uplift and empower one another.
In this next installment of The Cypher Sessions, we’re talking The Dream Is the Truth: INTIMACY, featuring co-moderators Teniece Divya Johnson and Lauren Marissa Smith.
Teniece and Lauren are filmmakers who, in their recent work, explore the intersection of intimacy and conflict. Their film, “The Dream is the Truth,” is a poetic exploration of possibility. What happens when we let go of our ego and invite ourselves into the dream? Join us for a screening of the film embedded in a conversation on how and why we love.
All you will need to bring are your minds, mobile phones, love of music, and willingness to share your ideas and perspectives with the community!

Take Care of Yourself
A meditation moment with Black Being and health and well-being evangelist Iman Gibson, because the constant barrage of divisive rhetoric, policy debates, and discriminatory undertones during this election season can take a toll on our mental and emotional well-being, in ways seen and unseen. While civic engagement is critical to shaping our futures, it's equally important to take care of ourselves in the process.
Hope to see you there!
Meet Leslie Jones
“I am running for City Council because I believe in putting the residents of the city of Inglewood, District 4 first and ensuring our community thrives. Our city is at a crossroads, facing both exciting opportunities and significant challenges. It’s time for leadership that prioritizes the needs and voices of our people, ensuring that our community remains vibrant, livable, and inclusive for all.”
