We're celebrating Friendsgiving!
Gather with friends, family and new acquaintances at our Soul Food Sunday Mixer!!
While we absolutely love having our BIPOC Affinity Spaces we also love gathering with our ENTIRE Community!
This month we want to celebrate all we have to be thankful for with ALL of you so we're opening up Soul Food Sunday to everyone of ALL identities!
We'll still be meeting at The Root (28 Williams St, Brattleboro, VT) for a potluck style gathering. This event is BYOT; bring your own tupperware for those leftovers!
BONUS: We'll have delicious food cooked up for us from 802 Soul Kitchen!
Please note that you do not have to bring a dish/soul food to attend. Bring what you can and come to hang out. For more information or if you like to help, please contact Shela at 802 451-0509
Soul Food Sunday is traditionally a space created to provide a safer space for communities of color to come together to heal and connect. Food is a wonderful way of doing that and often allows of us to share a piece of ourselves and our culture. Soul Food Sunday is about having fun, building strong relationships, sharing resources, and building social power among communities of color.
Soul Food Sunday is an inter-generational affinity space for Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC), non-white folx only.
We are Queer, Trans, People of Color (QTPOC) affirming, as well as Youth and Elder affirming.
We are centered around connecting QT/BIPOC throughout Vermont to build relationships, heal and break bread together.
SFS is held every 2nd Sunday of the month, from 1-4 PM. If you and/or someone in your family would like to join us for dinner, please use this link RSVP and receive the Zoom link to access the event.
“[Being] hungry is about awakening and becoming conscious about our thoughts and feelings and actions. It’s not about our hunger for food, but the craving to reclaim and embrace our true identity. About finding ways to be kind and compassionate to parts of ourselves that we dislike, dishonor, or which bring us shame.”
-Dr. Robin Smith
