All About Love, hosted by Upspoken - a sexual and relational health initiative powered by CA Black Women's Health Project and in partnership with YWCA Berkeley/Oakland

OVERVIEW

Join us for an inspiring event focused on self-love, self-discovery, and sexual and relational wellness! This in-person gathering, held in the Bay Area, will feature engaging conversations, a clay sculpting session, and a supportive community.

All About Love: The Gathering is a sacred, joy-filled space created for Black women (cis and trans) and Black femmes to explore, redefine, and embody self-love in community. Rooted in art + creativity as healing and care and the transformative teachings of bell hooks’ “All About Love,” this gathering invites us to move love from theory into practice: as healing, as wellness, as pleasure, as truth.

Black women, if you're looking to practice self-care, lean into sexual or relational health, boost your self-confidence, and/or connect with like-minded individuals, this event is for you! Don't miss out on this opportunity to be all about love and pour into a more positive relationship with yourself.
