LOVED

A survivor wellbeing circle for Black women

LOVED is a survivor wellbeing circle created specifically for Black women who have experienced sexual and intimate partner violence. Together, participants explore the ways that “triple jeopardy”—the exploitation and oppression experienced by survivors who are Black women—can shape their experiences of violence and wellbeing.

Through thought-provoking discussions and creative activities, LOVED creates space to cultivate wellbeing, build beloved community, and develop strategies for addressing the root causes of violence.
