Black Film as Protest: B. Monét

​MASTERCLASS
Gather in a sacred space for conversation, reflection, and movement. This is a curated circle where we explore the journey to self-love, the power of personal reflection, and the legacy we are building—within and around us. Through guided dialogue, intuitive writing, and gentle body movement, we will connect more deeply to our own stories and to each other. Come as you are, and leave with a clearer sense of your path and your place in a continuing story.
