Lift Every Voice & ACT! is a weekly chat series highlighting personal and provocative experiences.
In an effort to bridge our shared human experience, international artist & activist, Maryella Marie, will host an hour of storytelling and sustainable activism in order to:
- Reflect on the Black Experience with emotional intelligence
- Lift up Black voices to generate new experiences for a more tolerant future
- Reeducate and propose new solutions to systematic oppression
- End violent and bias acts against black people on a global level
- Share useful information that will lead to healing and justice
- We will set the tone with an invitation to reflect on black poetry
(For Juneteeth’s chat, we will open with The Black National Anthem)
We’ll then kick off the chat with a living case study and open a round-table discussion to share stories, reflect, cry, laugh, and heal together.
We’ll close with an invitation to act by signing petitions, donating to causes, and spreading awareness to fight against racial injustice.
We’ll investigate questions such as:
- What is the Black Experience and why does it matter?
- Who creates the Black Experience and how is it shared?
- Who is affected by The Black Experience?
- How can we nurture, respect, and lift up the Black Experience?
- Why is storytelling important when sharing the Black Experience?
