50: Under Pressure

<div>Black and brown women have not been allowed to exist in the world as the fullest expressions of who we are and who we can be.

Nic and Lala co-create space where healing becomes possible. Where we see ourselves through our own eyes. Where we learn what freedom feels like. Where we look inward for our paths forward.</div>
