Participants will gain critical writing skills and build community through an eight month program centered on black women and mothers. Black Mama's Heal will be evaluated by easy to do exit surveys and audience check in's that will be reviewed by the advisory board of Black Women Speak quarterly.
The most significant outcome was that mother's still came out during such trying times, and the women came consistently, so it was more like a co-hort. 15 women attended Black Mama's Heal monthly over the period of this initiative. Feedback provided by participants expressed deep gratitude for the space, and the opportunity to get back into their own writing and learn new techniques.
